ANC-WR Welcomes New Class of Interns and Externs
Los Angeles, CA - The Armenian National Committee - Western Region
recently welcomed its participants for the autumn session of its
Internship-Externship Program (ANC-WR IEP). Following the footsteps
of the seven graduates of the summer session, four university students
join the program which began in 2006.
The ANC-WR IEP autumn session participants include Patil Aslanian,
Elsa Menounou, Anna Maria Nishanian, and Thora Giallouri, who are all
students in Southern California, two of whom have come from Athens,
Greece. The four students began work on assigned projects ranging from
organizing community events and meetings with public officials to
media outreach and educational activities. In addition to their
projects, the participants will partake in a series of lectures,
workshops, and media review seminars featuring a range of community
professionals, leaders and organizations.
"We are happy to have four motivated and accomplished students, both
undergraduate and graduate, joining us for the 2008 Autumn Session,"
said Haig Hovsepian, ANC-WR Community Relations Director and IEP
Coordinator. "Working with our staff and with our partners in the
community, they will not only learn a great deal more about the issues
that are important to our community, but make a significant and
positive difference as well," he added.
Patil Aslanian is a Political Science major at the University of
California, Irvine and an intern focusing on Organizational
Administration and Development. Joining Aslanian is fellow intern
Anna Maria Nishanian, a Broadcast Journalism major at California State
University, Northridge, who is specializing in Public and Media
Relations this session.
Thora Giallouri and Elsa Menounou, both international students from
Greece, are pursuing their Masters Degrees in Political Science at
California State University, Los Angeles. Giallouri has been assigned
as an extern with Asbarez Daily Newspaper and Menounou is working on
Community and Government Affairs as an intern with the ANC-WR.
Asbarez is now an established IEP extern partner organization with the
ANC-WR.
The application for the 2009 Spring Session will be released in early
October and the deadline to submit is December 1st. For more
