Cambridge-Yerevan Sister City Association and

Higher Education in Armenia:
Challenges and Relections
A Panel Discussion with
University Administrators from Armenia
Ten administrators from Armenia's universities, in the U.S. on a training rogram sponsored by the Cambridge-Yerevan Sister City Association (CYSCA) with funding support from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), will reflect on conditions in their field in Armenia and their experiences in the U.S.

The visiting administrators, from universities in Yerevan and other regions of Armenia, have come to Boston to experience a comprehensive training program addressing a variety of issues that are important to improving the quality of higher education in Armenia, including establishing curricula that is relevant to the workplace. They were selected competitively under a program administered by Project Harmony's branch office in Yerevan.

For its part, CYSCA has designed a training program including visits to several Greater Boston universities including Harvard, MIT, University of MA Boston, Lesley University, Northeastern University, Bentley University, and Middlesex Community College.

Prior to the program, there will be a ceremony to dedicate a plaque marking the generous donation to NAASR by the Maria A. Littleton Fund in memory and recognition of Rev. Vartan and Grace Hartunian and family.
