HIS HOLINESS ARAM I’S REPRESENTATIVE VISITS THE MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE
OF TECHNOLOGY (MIT)

Bishop Nareg Alemezian visited one of the most well-known universities
in the United States, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
on July 14 and 15 on behalf of His Holiness Aram I. The bishop held
meetings with the general director of the university’s education
department and responsible officials from several departments in
the university.

The main purpose of the visit was to plan a web portal that would
contribute to the international recognition of the Armenian Genocide
over the next ten years through art and education. The web portal
will be realized by the collective efforts of the Catholicosate of
Cilicia and MIT.

The bishop also discussed the possibility of using technology in
the educational curriculum of the Seminary of the Catholicosate of
Cilicia. He also invited officials from MIT to visit Antelias and
get closely acquainted with Armenian Church’s multi-faceted mission.
