    Artsakh State University

    GLENDALE - The Armenian Educational Foundation (AEF) is proud to
    announce that it approved the $100,000 budget to fund a 4 year
    Computer Information Systems degree program, in Artsakh State
    University in Stepanakert will be called `AEF Computer Science
    Department.' The plans are set to launch the program later this year.
    The $100,000 will help finance computer hardware, software, instructor
    salaries, and student scholarships.

    The project, a collaboration among Diaspora and Artsakh organizations,
    appropriately named `iArtsakh,' is an undertaking of Armenian
    Educational Foundation, Scholars for Scientific, Educational, and
    Cultural Development, Artsakh Prime Ministry and Artsakh State
    University.

    The iArtsakh project extends AEF ongoing projects such as school
    renovations, recently renovated Artsakh State University dormitory,
    the computer for villages, IT training of village teachers, and
    university scholarships. The iArtsakh project promotes IT, modern
    technology, higher education, employment and empowerment.

    `We at AEF recognize the importance of economic development for
    Artsakh and believe that this project will have a big impact in
    developing the infrastructure needed to bring information technology
    companies to Artsakh' said AEF president Hermineh Pakhanians.

    The iArtsakh project is looking for qualified candidates to teach
    courses for the Computer Information Systems degree at the Artsakh
    State University later this year.

    `We have worked closely with officials at the Artsakh State University
    to develop the curriculum for the Computer Information Systems
    degree,' said Los Angeles based non-profit Scholars for Scientific,
    Educational, and Cultural Development board member Dr. Razmig
    Shirinian. `At this time we are accepting applications for instructors
    who will reside in Stepanakert and teach various courses.'

    The new program will include basic CIS curriculum as well advanced
    courses in software design, database design, PHP, C#, Java and HTML5.

    `Information about the open instructor position as well as an
    application are available on the `iArtsakh' section of SSECD.org,'
    said Shirinian. `We encourage all who are interested to apply no later
    than May 1st.'
