ANCA LAUNCHES CAMPUSCAUSE.COM - THE ONLINE PORTAL TO ARMENIAN
AMERICAN STUDENT ACTIVISM
WASHINGTON, DC -- With Armenian American student activism at an
all-time high, the Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA)
recently launched CampusCause.com (www.campuscause.com), a new
website spotlighting Armenian advocacy on college campuses.
The initiative was inspired by the rising tide of student activism
seen throughout the nation over recent months, particularly
following the House Foreign Affairs Committee's consideration of
the Armenian Genocide Resolution. The site will serve as a portal
for information on a broad range of student led educational and
political initiatives across North America. It is meant to be a
supplement to the soon-to-be-updated student section of the ANCA
website.
`Students and youth play a particularly important role in Armenian
activism and CampusCause.com is geared toward connecting them with
one another and making them better aware of what is being done by
their like-minded peers,' said Serouj Aprahamian, Director of the
ANCA's Capital Gateway Program.
Young activists can check CampusCause.com to see what Armenian
Americans on other campuses are doing to advocate and publicize the
concerns of Armenian American issues. They can also share news of
their own efforts and developments at their universities and
colleges. Upcoming events and a book of the month will also be
regularly posted on the site for visitors to utilize.
"This site provides a fast and easy way for college and university
organizations throughout the country to come together in our effort
to further the Armenian Cause," said Vahram Shalvardzhyan,
President of the University of California at Santa Barbara Armenian
Student Association. "It has sped up the communication process,
resulting in better organized and more coherent messages sent
through colleges and universities."
Student participation and input is an integral component to the
success of the website. Armenian Students Associations and student
activists are encouraged to participate by contacting
