AUA Alumni Excursion

Join the AUA Office of Alumni Relations for a full-day getaway to Yervandashat village in Armavir Province, where you’ll reconnect with fellow AUA alumni, soak in local history, and enjoy the sweet rewards of Armenia’s apricot season together.

This alumni gathering is being graciously hosted by Mkhitar Avetisyan (ME IESM ’17) in his family orchard. It’s your chance to get out of Yerevan, enjoy the countryside, and learn more about new initiatives from the Office of Alumni Relations. Come solo or bring a guest—this event is open to all alumni and their +1s. 

Participation fee: 12,000 AMD per person, a portion of which will support the Alumni Scholarship Endowment Fund for current and future AUA student scholarships. Learn more here.
