Anqa Hidayat is not one to stand by the wayside when she sees injustice happening. Originally from Afghanistan, Anqa has used her writing as a tool to bring attention to women’s rights in her home country. By raising awareness and expressing concern for the inequality she has seen and experienced, she makes a bold statement in support of equal rights. Now, Anqa is furthering her education, studying Political Science and International Relations at Bay Atlantic University. By earning her degree, she will be able to access new opportunities to be a difference-maker, bringing about change and fighting for a cause she cares deeply about.
Bay Atlantic University is firmly committed to making high-quality education available to all. By providing students like Anqa with access to knowledgeable professors, relevant courses and programs, and unique experiences, BAU enables them to achieve greater things than might otherwise be possible. Bay Atlantic University also partners with numerous Washington, D.C.-area organizations, such as Lutheran Support Services, to create additional opportunities for immigrants and refugees to pursue their education. Having pursued a variety of paths to reach this point, each student at BAU brings unique experiences and perspectives and contributes to its diverse and supportive community.
Anqa was recently interviewed and featured in an article for HerStory, an organization committed to supporting and uplifting Afghan women.
