    Visiting Fresno State Professor Offers Insider's View of Armenia

    FRESNO, Calif.


    California State University Fresno issued the following news release:

    Kristine Antonyan, an economics lecturer at Yerevan State University
    in Armenia, is providing an insider's view of that country as a
    visiting professor at California State University, Fresno this
    semester.

    Antonyan is a Junior Faculty Development Program grant recipient from
    the Fulbright Program, an international educational exchange for
    scholars, which is sponsored by the U.S. government.

    At Fresno State, she is interacting with students and making
    presentations in classes about economies in transition and about the
    Bologna Process, which is guiding transformation of European
    education.

    Antonyan was placed at Fresno State through her contact with Armenian
    Studies Program director Barlow Der Mugrdechian, who conducted a
    Faculty Development Program at Yerevan State University from 1999 to
    2004.

    Antonyan graduated from Yerevan State with a specialty in economics
    and pursued her Ph.D. there. Her dissertation was "Advanced issues Of
    a Long-Run Sustained Economic Growth (With the Example of Armenia)."
    She has published articles in Russian and Armenian journals and has
    participated in various international conferences.

    She is writing a textbook, "State Regulation of Economy," and hopes to
    write an article detailing the differences in the U.S. and Armenia
    educational systems.

    Antonyan will return to Yerevan in May.
