ANCA’s Yerimyan and Program Alumni Share Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway and Karabian Fellowship Success Stories
WASHINGTON—Armenian American university students from throughout the Southland took a break from final exam and graduation preparation to learn more about the Armenian National Committee of America’s signature career development efforts – the Hovig Apo Saghdejian Capital Gateway Program (CGP) in Washington and the Walter and Laurel Karabian Fellowship in Sacramento – with ANCA CGP Program Director Tereza Yerimyan and ANCA Western Region advocates offering presentations at seven campuses in as many days.
“It is encouraging to meet so many bright and energetic students who are preparing to take the next steps in their educations and careers, looking to the ANCA to help empower their success,” remarked Yerimyan. “We’re getting record numbers of applications for our internship and career development programs – and look to assist as many qualified candidates as possible – in DC, Sacramento and the Southland.”
The deadline for the Fall Capital Gateway session is June 15th. To learn more about the program and to apply, visit: anca.org/gateway.
Yerimyan traveled to California for presentations hosted by Armenian Students Associations at University of California Irvine (UCI), University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), University of California San Diego (UCSD), and Azusa Pacific University (APU). She also tabled at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and Cal State Northridge (CSUN), where interested students stopped by the ANCA booth for a cup of coffee and career advice. Yerimyan conferred with leaders of the All-ASA about expanded outreach efforts, shared program highlights during a presentation at Armenian Youth Federation Seminar at Camp Big Pines in Wrightwood, CA, and met with interested students on a one-to-one basis.
One such student, Pepperdine University sophomore Garen Kosoyan, was seeking a placement as part of the University’s DC internship program. “During my meeting with Tereza in California, I was immediately drawn by the mission that drives the ANCA. I applied to the program and I am now pleased to be an intern with the Armenian Legal Center for Justice and Human Rights (ALC).â€
