Today we celebrate Ivan — the coordinator of our International Relations and STEM fellowships, whose analytical mind and generous spirit leave a lasting impact on everyone he works with. For many fellows, Vanya is a mentor they can always rely on. He listens attentively and approaches every question with thoughtfulness and respect. Drawing on his expertise in international relations and Iranian politics, strengthened by his fluency in Farsi, he brings depth, clarity, and insight to every discussion. Yet beyond his professionalism, he shares something equally invaluable — steady support and a genuine belief in the potential of each person. Ivan, may your drive continue to open new horizons, and may the care and wisdom you so generously extend to others return to you many times over. ❤️ #interussiafamily 1️⃣1️⃣1️⃣
