Professor Barlow Der Mugrdechian and student participants of the Summer Study Program will speak on the “Armenian Summer Study Program 2019: Reflections” at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, in the Alice Peters Auditorium at the University Business Center. The presentation is part of the Fall Lecture Series of the Armenian Studies Program.

Der Mugrdechian and professor Sergio La Porta led a group of 14 Fresno State students on the Armenia Summer Study Program this past summer from May 29 to June 14. While in Armenia, students visited the major cultural and religious sites in Armenia, including the Holy Etchmiadzin and the Monastery of Tatev. They visited the Armenian Martyrs Monument and had a special tour of the Armenian Genocide Museum with director Harutyun Marutyan. A visit to Mer Hooys-House of Hope, a home of disadvantaged girls was especially meaningful. There were many of these unforgettable experiences during the trip.

The group will share its reflections of some of the most memorable moments through videos and photographs. They will discuss the lasting impact of the summer study trip to Armenia.

The lecture is free and open to the public. For more information about the lecture, contact the Armenian Studies Program at 559.278.2669, or visit our website at www.fresnostate.edu/armenianstudies or visit our Facebook page at ArmenianStudiesFresnoState.
