When Tolkunbek Abdygulov, above right, wanted to advance his economic career to help his home country of the Kyrgyz Republic, he sought out UNT’s top-ranking Master of Public Administration degree program.
Since May 2014, Abdygulov has served as governor of the National Bank of the Kyrgyz Republic (Central Bank). He oversees the monetary policies and supervises the banking system of the developing nation, a former Soviet republic that borders western China.
“Working in government-level positions, you’re on the front line of all major economic policies, making everyday decisions that impact the lives of ordinary citizens,” he says. “And, thanks to UNT, I’m well prepared for this work.”
Abdygulov is one of many alumni who have made their mark on the international stage thanks to UNT’s diverse, welcoming environment and global learning opportunities. They are profiled in the winter 2014 issue of The North Texan, the university’s 220,000-circulation quarterly alumni magazine.
