11 05 2009 - "Career Success: Resources for Armenian Students and Families,"

May 2009 - Dear Friends:
NAASR will co-sponsor the third in a series of forums at Fordham University, "Career Success: Resources for Armenian Students and Families," on Tuesday, May 12, from 6:00-8:00 p.m., at Fordham's Manhattan campus, 113 West 60 Street, South Lounge.

In these uncertain times, how can students and their families best prepare for higher education and a solid future career? This two-part workshop begins with one hour of valuable resources available for students and their families, followed by a second hour of a few smaller workshops where experts offer valuable guidance on specific careers.

This free public forum is hosted by the Fordham University Armenian Club, in cooperation with a consortium of several groups: the Fordham departments of history and theology, the Fordham Institute for Research, Service, Teaching, the Armenian General Benevolent Union (www.agbu.org), Armenian Assembly (www.aaainc.org), National Association for Armenian Studies and Research (www.naasr.org), Krikor and Clara Zohrab Information Center, and Evereg Fenesse Educational Society (www.evereg-fenesse.org).
