El Vaquero: Glendale Community College

Students Celebrate Armenian Culture
Traditional music roared through Plaza Vaquero as Armenian and
non-Armenian students alike danced, ate barbecue and celebrated
Armenian culture.
The Armenian Students Association has hosted the event since 1976,
when the organization was first founded.
The tradition was continued on Nov. 13 during lunch hour.
"I feel Armenian Culture day is fun for everybody, not just for
Armenians," said Liza Hakobyan who is the president of the ASA.
The purpose of the event is to raise cultural awareness in the
community. Cultural displays, literary works and pictures of fomer
club members in Armenia spread throughout the plaza. There was also an
accessory booth that sold traditional jewelry made from dried
pomegranates.
"The event is different every year," said history professor Levon
Marashlian, who has served as an adviser for the association since
1980. "Comparing it with the 1980s, it is also changing because of the
Armenian music and the information that club members didn't have
before. That's why I like this event and I hope everyone just enjoys
it."
