    American University of Armenia (AUA) President Dr. Haroutune Armenian
    traveled to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia last month to give presentations and meet
    with Saudi university and government officials. Dr. Armenian, in his

    2008.

    As part of his agenda, Dr. Armenian held a number of meetings with the
    leadership of KSU and other Saudi universities, as well as with Saudi
    Arabia's Deputy Minister of Health. He met with Professor Abdullah A.
    Al-Othman, KSU's Rector (President), and together they explored appropriate
    linkages between AUA and other universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia,
    in particular KSU.

    Dr. Armenian is also currently on the faculty of the UCLA School of Public
    Health in the Department of Epidemiology, and is Professor Emeritus of
    Epidemiology and the former Director of the Master of Public Health Program
    at Johns Hopkins University.
