    UCLA AGSA hosts 4th annual Mentorship Series event for Armenian UCLA
    undergraduates

    Westwood, CA - On November 17th 2004, the Armenian Graduate Students
    Association of UCLA will hold its fourth annual Mentorship Series event
    for the undergraduate Armenian Students Association of UCLA. This event
    is part of UCLA AGSA’s continuing effort to reach out to Armenian
    undergraduate students as well as guests and provide them with knowledge
    about pursuing higher degrees of education.

    The Mentorship Series consists of an interactive panel discussion wherein
    graduate students from a broad variety of fields, including, but not
    limited to, Law, Medicine, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures, Dentistry,
    and various Biological Sciences, will share their experiences and thoughts
    with undergraduates of the ASA as well as numerous invited student groups.
    The undergraduates, in turn, get to express their questions and concerns
    with respect to the professional aspirations they are considering.

    “Having once and continuing to benefit from sound advice and guidance in
    terms of graduate study, we feel it is our privileged duty to similarly
    spread the knowledge to those who are interested in furthering their
    educational endeavors,” commented James Hagop Tabibian, Project Director
    of the Mentorship Series. This will be the fifth such event put on
    within the last four years, thus several years of planning, execution,
    and improvement have transpired since the Mentorship Series was created.
    Additionally, its popularity and efficacy have been cultivated to the
    extent that just one week ago, a very similar event was organized, upon
    request, for the ASA of USC.

    Topics such as application processes, daily life as a graduate, and
    curricula will be addressed along with any questions specifically asked by
    the attending undergraduate students. “Our goal is to provide our
    audience with the knowledge and ability to decide on and enter the field
    that is best for them and also dispel any myths they may have heard
    regarding different graduate disciplines” said Tabibian. “It also
    doesn’t hurt to get these ideas across with a touch of personal flavor
    from us­a young, dynamic group like them.”
