The HERA Working Group, co-chaired by Anoush F. Terjanian and Susanna Karakhanyan, is preparing its third meeting on March 18th, including representatives of the Artsakh Higher Ed community who are informing our approach.  

​

A questionnaire has been prepared (thanks to members Kevork Abazajian and Tamara Babaian) to garner some data points on the community and their hopes, with a view to facilitating placements in Armenia (students, faculty, staff/admin) by September 2024. ASOF Board Member Vicken Cheterian has initiated a collaboration with AGBU's relief efforts. And Board Member Artak Melkonyan has linked us to ILO and UNHCR for input and possible funding. 

​

With thanks to all current Members in the group, we welcome all and any support from ASOF membership.
