Welcome our next YPIP alumnus 2020, Quyoshbek Mekhmonov! π
What is YPIP?
The Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) provides summer internships, networking, and mentorship for Uzbek students to gain professional business and STEM skills in a real-world environment.
βIf I had to look back and pinpoint my proudest career moment to-date, it would have to be participating in the Young Professionals Internship Program which was organized by the American Councils. Doing so helped me understand how the materials I studied in textbooks applied to the real working world. If you're wondering what you might get out of participating in this internship program, here is a first-hand account of how interning helped me jump-start my career,β says Quyoshbek.
During the internship Quyoshbek was exposed to the IT field (Alif Tech Company) which was different from his major at the University. It helped him identify the areas he excelled at and those he needed to develop more. He was able to learn new skills, try out new tools along the way, and leverage his mistakes to motivate him further. Quyoshbek says, β I realized what I want to do in the long term and, above all, what I do NOT want to do with my life. The YPIP helped me discover a career path I was passionate about β and one that would give me the chance to learn and grow within a company.β
βThroughout the internship program, I was lucky to have great people supporting me. While I acquired a variety of experiences and skills, I think the impact of having the opportunity to learn from seasoned professionals gave me someone to look up to and a goal to work towards,β adds Quyoshbek.
Way to go, Quyoshbek!

Healing the Soil and Protecting the Environment for Future Generations
The northern steppes of Kazakhstan are a land of two extremes: stretches of pristine natural beauty and patches of contaminated post-industrial landscapes. Less than 100 miles from the Ekibastuz, the industrial heartland of northern Kazakhstan, the Bayanaul mountain range teems with flora and fauna. But the future of the region depends on removing toxic substances from the environment and protecting resources for future generations.
With a grant awarded through the Central Asia University Partnerships Program (UniCEN), administered by American Councils and funded by the U.S. Department of State through the Embassy in Kazakhstan, a team of scientists from State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF) and Toraighyrov University launched research collaborations in biodiversity conservation and ecosystem restoration. Researchers exchanged knowledge of the common characteristics of wetlands, forests, and soils and the potential for the remediation of damaged habitat.

Meet our next YPIP alumnus 2020, Khumoyun Buronboev! π
What is YPIP?
The Young Professional Internships Program (YPIP) provides summer internships, networking, and mentorship for Uzbek students to gain professional business and STEM skills in a real-world environment.
Khumoyun Buronboev recently won a grant from the Art and Culture development Foundation under the Ministry of Culture of the Republic of Uzbekistan. He says, βMy academic success at the university played a big role in getting the grant. But the experience gained in the YPIP was the main reason. I passed the interview confidently using the STAR system. Examiners who interviewed asked about my knowledge of English and added they would give more preference to those who speak it with confidence. The English lessons conducted twice a week, for two months, from a real American teacher helped me to improve my language skills. They were impressed by this fact. Also, we received tips on how to create our resumes correctly! If to compare my resume before the internship and after, one can find the huge difference.β
Khumoyun is thrilled to express his gratitude to the organizers and mentors of the YPIP program. He notes, βI want to thank all from the bottom of my heart for the help and support provided by the organizers. I want to let you know that your work and the time that you have spent with me personally have not been in vain! I reached a milestone! The grant that I received fully covers the cost of my education for a year, and this is a huge help for me and my family in these difficult days. And that's not all. After I graduate from the university and get a diploma, I will be employed under a contract in the structures of the Ministry of Culture of Uzbekistan. So, I thank YPIP again for everything!β
What a blast! Great news for the 2021, Khumyoun! ππ»π

Building Virtual International Partnerships in Higher Education
The distance between two research institutions in Kazakhstan and Pennsylvania is nearly 10,000 kilometers, but that hasnβt stopped students and faculty from building a close international partnership.
Since 2019, a top-ranked higher education institution in Kazakhstan, S. Seifullin Agro Technical University (KazATU), has connected its students and faculty with their counterparts at Pennsylvania State University. Both institutions prioritize the role of a global perspective in higher education. As studying or researching abroad is not always a possibility for students and faculty, these institutions have gone beyond borders digitally.
To support global experience for all its students and faculty, the Penn State Beaver campus developed the Experiential Digital Global Engagement or EDGE program. EDGE enables Penn State faculty to co-create curriculum with their peers in other countries, leveraging accessible technology platforms like Zoom to enhance student interaction.

βThis was not my first visit to the United States.

I met amazing people β Rene and Stan, who lived in their private house in Hendersonville. Together we spent time, me discovering how people live in Rene's and Stan's county. Rene told a bunch of stories of her personal experiences as a woman working in the U.S. local government. I met their friends, listened to the local music, and watched local dances.
A tour of the national parks and beautiful gardens, I believe, made me feel the grace of North Carolina. During the small talks and longer conversations Americans opened their hearts, which is what I appreciated a lot. Before I left Rene and Stan, Rene gave me one of her books as a gift and the pleasant memory about North Carolina and the time I have spent thereβ.

Featuring our next Open World Success story!
Please, meet Open World alumnus 2017, Uzbekistan Parliament member Rasul Kusherbayev.
"We have heard a lot about the United States. I was especially interested in the work of the U.S. Congress. While visiting the United States with the Open World program, we have got acquainted with the work schedule of congressmen, working with voters, impressed by the role and participation of Congress in the adoption laws, especially the budget. Also of particular interest were the local offices of congressmen and how they deal with voters' appeals. Getting acquainted with the activities of lobbying organizations, courts, election commissions in the United States was also very informative.
Living in a host family helped me understand the lifestyle, habits, and behavior of the American people. Although we had very positive impressions of the rule of law among the population, free worldview, and expression of thoughts, we noticed some kind of deterioration in perceptions of the family, in particular, the relationship between children and parents. This may be explained by the difference in family conception between them and us. In a nutshell, I think the trip to the U.S. was a positive contribution to broadening my knowledge and professional outlook".
Well done Rasul! We hope you keep the Open World spirit.
