The third annual event in Hahn Central Plaza honored legacy of survival and resilience.
USC’s third annual Armenian History Month opening ceremony brought lively dancing, music and heartfelt words to Hahn Central Plaza on the University Park Campus on Tuesday.
The ceremony, attended by students, faculty and staff, was presented by the USC Armenian Student Association and the Institute of Armenian Studies at the USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.
Both organizations are dedicated to honoring Armenian excellence, culture, history and contributions to the USC community and beyond. They have partnered for a monthlong celebration that offers opportunities to learn about Armenian history and culture while fostering inclusion and dialogue across campus.
Los Angeles County is home to more than 200,000 Armenians. When the county’s Board of Supervisors declared April to be Armenian History Month in 2022, students and the institute began a grassroots effort to mark the occasion at USC.
