The annual Alumni Impact Day was held at Maqsut Narikbayev University. The event combined a forum with a ceremony recognising graduates for their service to society.
This longstanding gathering brought together more than one hundred alumni, providing a venue for professional exchange and intergenerational dialogue. Participants learned about the University’s recent achievements and its new academic development track focused on information technologies and artificial intelligence.
During Alumni Impact Day, several graduates spoke about their career paths, shared practical advice, and reflected on their student years, emphasising the role the University played in their personal and professional growth. The participants were congratulated by Talgat Narikbayev, Chair of the Executive Board of MNU, who thanked them for their continued support and highlighted the importance of alumni contributions to national development. A highlight of the event was the presentation of special awards in various categories acknowledging graduates’ social impact, professional influence, and achievements across different fields.
“The impressions are incredible; it felt as if I had travelled back twenty years. I appreciate this spirit of continuity, when former students who have devoted so many years to the University come back and share their experience. I wish current students to pursue their goals and remain true to their principles,” said Zhanna Urazbakhova, lawyer of the Almaty City Bar Association and MNU alumna.
It should be noted that the participants also announced the establishment of a scholarship in memory of alumnus Ainar Ilyassov.
