AUA Student Receives a Junior Faculty Development Program Grant

Arevik Ohanyan, an American University of Armenia (AUA) student, received a
grant from the Junior Faculty Development Program (JFDP), and has been named
a Fellow in the field of Education Administration.

The JFDP program is funded by the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs
of the U.S. Department of State and is administered by the American Councils
for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS. The goal of the program is to
contribute to the development of higher education in participating
countries. To this end, the JFDP provides opportunities for university-level
instructors with strong potential for leadership in their disciplines to
engage in curriculum development and explore alternative teaching
methodologies, expand and enhance the academic knowledge of the subject they
teach throughout a semester in the States, and maintain on-going contacts
between their home and host institutions.
