    Sultan Ashour: The Transition, The Lessons, The Story

    In this episode, we sit down with Sultan Ashour, AUS's Student Council Vice President, to trace his path from a first-year student stepping out of an Arabic-medium school into an entirely new academic world, to leading student government as a senior. He walks us through the extracurriculars that shaped him, what election season actually demanded of him, and the parts of the job students never get to see. We get into the regrets he carries from second and third year, what he'd tell a first-year student making the same transition he did, and the moment AUS finally started to feel like his. We close with a rapid fire round that brings out a side of him you won't catch on the campaign trail. Tune in to find out more!

    A Home Away from Home

    Ramadan can feel very different depending on where — and with whom — you’re celebrating. 🌙 In this episode, we’re joined by Ameena Al-Attas to talk about finding your own community and creating a home away from home during Ramadan. We share Ramadan and Eid traditions, and reflect on how the experience changes when you’re celebrating with family versus the community you’ve built at AUS. From familiar rituals to new shared moments, we explore the different kinds of joy that come with both.

    In this episode, we spotlight MedHack, an organization dedicated to bridging the gap between medicine and innovation.
