Student Testimonials
Hear from our members about their experiences with CASA GT.
Aldinash Seitenov
CS + Math, Class of 2027
"CASA has been my home away from home at Georgia Tech. It's where I've made lifelong friends and stayed connected to my culture."
Erkosh Paksushi
Food Management, Class of 667
As the official sushi and pizza provider of CASA (they just don't know it yet), I take a great pride in crafting our famously Shymkent-Tastak fusion cuisine. Some say our sushi defy the laws of texture, and our so-called "TV" sushi has changed lives. I personally support every student who’s ever eaten our food and still managed to pass finals. True resilience! GT students, you inspire me every day to continue doing the bare minimum.
