    A Valley couple who founded the Armenian Church and Cultural Center in
    Scottsdale was honored earlier this month by Arizona State University.

    ASU President Michael Crow presented Gregory and Emma Melikian with
    the University Medal of Excellence for their leadership and civic
    engagement.

    The Melikians have supported ASU for more than three decades,
    including an endowment of the Melikian Center and its Critical
    Languages Institute.

    They have also invested in historic preservation of more than a dozen
    properties in Scottsdale, Tucson and Phoenix, including the San Carlos
    Hotel, downtown landmark since 1928.

    The Melikians were presented their medals at the ASU graduation
    ceremonies May 8.

    The University Medal of Excellence honors innovative leaders who have
    advanced awareness and action on issues that affect the well-being
    and positive development of their communities.
