UCLA AGSA hosts 4th annual Mentorship Series event for Armenian UCLA
undergraduates

Westwood, CA – On November 17th 2004, the Armenian Graduate Students
Association of UCLA will hold its fourth annual Mentorship Series event
for the undergraduate Armenian Students Association of UCLA. This event
is part of UCLA AGSA’s continuing effort to reach out to Armenian
undergraduate students as well as guests and provide them with knowledge
about pursuing higher degrees of education.

The Mentorship Series consists of an interactive panel discussion wherein
graduate students from a broad variety of fields, including, but not
limited to, Law, Medicine, Near Eastern Languages & Cultures, Dentistry,
and various Biological Sciences, will share their experiences and thoughts
with undergraduates of the ASA as well as numerous invited student groups.
The undergraduates, in turn, get to express their questions and concerns
with respect to the professional aspirations they are considering.

“Having once and continuing to benefit from sound advice and guidance in
terms of graduate study, we feel it is our privileged duty to similarly
spread the knowledge to those who are interested in furthering their
educational endeavors,” commented James Hagop Tabibian, Project Director
of the Mentorship Series. This will be the fifth such event put on
within the last four years, thus several years of planning, execution,
and improvement have transpired since the Mentorship Series was created.
Additionally, its popularity and efficacy have been cultivated to the
extent that just one week ago, a very similar event was organized, upon
request, for the ASA of USC.

Topics such as application processes, daily life as a graduate, and
curricula will be addressed along with any questions specifically asked by
the attending undergraduate students. “Our goal is to provide our
audience with the knowledge and ability to decide on and enter the field
that is best for them and also dispel any myths they may have heard
regarding different graduate disciplines” said Tabibian. “It also
doesn’t hurt to get these ideas across with a touch of personal flavor
from us­a young, dynamic group like them.”
