2019/2020 Global Fellows

Zarlasht Sarmast 

Senior (4th year student) department of International and Comparative Politics
American University of Central Asia
What I am looking for to achieve as a member and lead fellow at the Global Fellows program is to work together with other members, help them with their projects and combine some of the similar projects together and make a big impactful team of global fellows. I am also planning to work on something similar to TedTalks within global fellows where global fellows members can go to other universities in Bard Network and present their amazing projects to inspire other students and maybe find people who can help them with their projects.

Adeeb Hadi

Junior at Bard College Berlin
I look forward to establishing a film festival within the Bard network to allow students to share their films and to be an opportunity to open the door for cooperation among the students of the network.





Dilshod Hamroboev

Sophomore in International and Comparative Politics at the American University of Central Asia.
As a Global Fellow, I am looking forward to broadening my network with other Bard partner universities and make a contribution to the Get Engaged Conference. Moreover, I wish to be able to develop an international project or research with other global fellows.




Shadin Nassar


Junior in International Law & Human Rights at AlQuds Bard College –Palestine
As a Global Fellow, I strive to attract students to contribute productively and
meaningfully to their community by assisting them in incorporating their skills, visions
and experiences figuratively and literally to lead civic engagement projects, which will
contribute to the excessive growth of their community in concrete-based results.





Sofia Sorokina


Senior at Faculty of Liberal Arts and Sciences at Saint Petersburg State University (Smolny College)
As a Global Fellow, I'm looking forward to improving the connections between Smolny and other universities of Bard Network, meeting even more passionate engaged people around the world and making our society a healthier place to live.








Viktar Filipenka


Junior at European Humanities University
My ultimate goal is to help young leaders on their way of doing important things for society and their communities. I want to inspire them even more to continue developing their ideas and thoughts, and there is no better time than during such a mind-blowing, in a good way, event called Get Engaged: it's a step forward for everyone.
