The American University of Armenia (AUA) Embarks on California
Recruitment Tour
YEREVAN, Armenia - From February 15 to March 1, 2015, the American
University of Armenia (AUA)'s Director of Admissions, Arina Zohrabian, is
embarking on a multi-city recruitment tour throughout California to excite
and inspire young students to pursue their higher education at AUA.
The recruitment tour is being made possible by a generous donation from Mr.
Zaven Akian, a member of AUA's Board of Trustees. He stated, =80=9CI am happy to
be able to sponsor the inaugural student recruitment tour for AUA. The
university is one of the most important investments we in the Diaspora can
make. The academic excellence, integrity and leadership skills the students
will learn will enable them to shape the future of our nation.'
Spreading the word about the abundant opportunities that AUA and Armenia
have to offer is the essential mission of the tour. Students have the
advantage of getting their education from a University of California (UC)
affiliated institution, making it very easy to transfer credits. AUA is
accredited by the WASC Senior College and University Commission, meaning
students have assurance they are receiving a high quality education. AUA
has a diverse Western-educated faculty, the majority of which hold doctoral
degrees.
AUA students come from all over the world, and on a daily basis get to
enjoy the university's many research centers and state-of-the-art
facilities, including the newly renovated AGBU Papazian Library and the
modern Paramaz Avedisian Building with fully equipped classrooms. In
addition to offering 8 master's degrees, AUA launched its undergraduate
degree program in 2013, after which the number of applicants from outside
of Armenia tripled from the 2012-2013 school year.
Whether students are interested in getting a four-year degree or simply
wish to study abroad for a summer, semester or year, AUA's opportunities
are growing by the day. The newly announced AUA-UCLA joint summer
intensive program in Armenian Studies provides the ideal experience for
students who wish to completely immerse themselves in Armenian language,
history and culture.
Ms. Zohrabian will be discussing the many benefits of attending AUA as she
makes stops at high schools and colleges in the San Francisco Bay Area,
Fresno and Southern California. Among other schools and colleges, she will
visit the Kruzian-Zekarian Armenian School in San Francisco, the AGBU
Manoogian-Demirdjian and Vatche & Tamar Manoukian High Schools in the Los
Angeles area, the University of California campuses at Berkeley, Davis, Los
Angeles and Irvine, the University of Southern California, Cal State
Fresno, and Glendale Community College. The tour will also include meetings
with Armenian churches, community members, and various chapters of the
Armenian Student Association.
Arina Zohrabian manages the strategy and operations for undergraduate and
graduate admissions, national and global outreach, and international
student services at AUA. Previously, she served as the Regional Director
for Education Programs and Country Director for the International Research
& Exchanges Board (IREX) Armenia office, managing and implementing higher
education programs funded by the US Department of State and other private
sources. Ms. Zohrabian moved to Yerevan in 2002 as a volunteer. What was
meant to be a one year trip evolved into a life-changing experience.
*Founded in 1991, the American University of Armenia (AUA) is a private,
independent university located in Yerevan, Armenia and affiliated with the
University of California. AUA provides a global education in Armenia and
the region, offering high-quality, graduate and undergraduate studies,
