Nearly two hundred supporters and friends of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies gathered at the Waldorf Astoria Beverly Hills in appreciation of USC Provost Michael Quick\u2019s and Vice President for Strategic and Global Affairs Anthony Bailey\u2019s travels to Armenia this past spring to open the\u00a0END OF TRANSITION: 25 YEARS AFTER SOVIET COLLAPSE<\/a>\u00a0international conference. This evening of appreciation, which took place on Sunday, November 19, highlighted not only the USC administration\u2019s support of the Institute but also the extensive array of programming and research the Institute has undertaken in 2017.<\/p>\n

The evening\u2019s attendees included Provost Quick, Vice President Bailey, Dean of Dornsife College Amber Miller, as well as two of the four members of the Institute\u2019s Academic Council \u2013 USC Professor of Public Policy Dan Mazmanian and the holder of the USC Turpanjian Chair in Civil Society and Social Change Professor Manuel Pastor. Two members of the Institute\u2019s Honorary Council, philanthropist Gerald Turpanjian and Ambassador John Evans, were also in attendance. Canadian-Armenian actor, producer, and activist Arsin\u00e9e Khanjian was among the distinguished guests.<\/p>\n

The evening was hosted by Varant and Houri Melkonian. The Chair of the Insititute\u2019s Leadership Council, Charles Ghailian, welcomed the Institute\u2019s donors and supporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis banquet concludes a very productive year for the Institute. The Institute\u2019s supporters and donors saw first-hand the outcome of the Institute\u2019s research and programming around Nagorno-Karabakh, Republic of Armenia, and the Diaspora. The Institute plans to do this and much more in 2018,\u201d said Salpi Ghazarian, director of the USC Institute of Armenian Studies.<\/p>\n

The Institute\u2019s current and upcoming vision and mission were outlined during the evening \u2013 its commitment to expanding and supporting opportunities for students and young professionals; addressing the immediate challenges of the Republic of Armenia and the Diaspora; and creating a platform to investigate and understand the post-genocide experience.<\/p>\n

Maral Tavitian, recent graduate of the USC Annenberg School for Communications and Journalism who left for Armenia to work for\u00a0CivilNet Online Media<\/a>\u00a0upon graduation, spoke about her participation in the Institute\u2019s Undergraduate Retreat and her\u00a0journey<\/a>\u00a0to a reporting career in Armenia with the Institute\u2019s support. Tavitian recently returned to USC, with CivilNet, to report live from\u00a0Innovate Armenia<\/a>, an upbeat, outside-the-box festival that explores what it means to be Armenian in the 21st<\/sup>century and celebrates innovation and innovators.<\/p>\n

In addressing the challenge of good governance in Armenia, the Institute held the \u201cCelebrity Diplomacy: Redefining Diaspora\u2019s Role in Armenia<\/a>\u201d program in January of 2017, three months before Armenia\u2019s first parliamentary elections under a semi-presidential system. Arsin\u00e9e Khanjian, who was part of the program as a representative of the JUSTIN WITHIN ARMENIA coalition, spoke on November 19 about the need for a more engaged Diasporan community in Armenia and how the Institute\u2019s engagement with the country has been a constructive step in that direction.<\/p>\n

Provost Michael Quick and Vice President Anthony Baily related their experiences in Armenia underscoring how the trip helped them better understand the challenges that the Instiute chooses to tackle through research and programming.<\/p>\n

In 2017, the Institute supported the research of over 40 young scholars from around the world who were investigating topics related to either the Nagorno Karabakh and the region or Armenia\u2019s transitional processes since the collapse of the Soviet Union.<\/p>\n

The Institute will continue to support research and embark on new larger projects in 2018. One of these will be the collection, documentation, and digitization of the archives of the DP community who came to Los Angeles at the end of World War II.\u00a0 Several members of the community, and project donors, were present at the banquet.<\/p>\n

During the evening, Institute Director Salpi Ghazarian announced that in the framework of the Los Angeles \u2013 Yerevan Sister City relationship, the USC Institute of Armenian Studies and the office of Councilmember Paul Krekorian will work together to select and place young people \u2013 students or recent graduates \u2013 in policy planning positions throughout the City of Los Angeles to learn from and contribute to the process of improving lives in both cities.\u00a0 This will serve as a pilot for possible broader future collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n <\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":139,"featured_media":1213,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1212","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-institute-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nUSC Institute of Armenian Studies Convenes an Evening of Appreciation<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/armenian\/2018\/11\/18\/usc-institute-of-armenian-studies-convenes-an-evening-of-appreciation\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"USC Institute of Armenian Studies Convenes an Evening of Appreciation -
