Service
Service has always been an integral part of my work at every university where I have taught. Whenever possible, I connect the content of my classes to real issues in the local community. For example, my students have completed projects that expose rhetorical fallacies in speeches by local politicians or have developed proposals and designed materials for educational supplements used in regional Armenian schools.
Over the past four years, I have collaborated on research projects with both students and faculty to strengthen the university’s ties to the wider community. I also serve on the board of AUA’s AGBU Papazian Library and advise two student organizations—TEDxAUA and The World of Culture club.
In addition, I am an associate editor for the International Exchanges on the Study of Writing book series at the WAC Clearinghouse.
