Armen Karo Student Associaton

Download to follow news from Canada's Armen Karo Student Association and Armenian Student Associations around the country.

History

In July 2005, students of Armenian origin in Canada abiding by the principles of respect for human rights, academic impartiality and a free, independent and united Armenia collectively founded a student association in order to streamline their work towards those ideals. The nom-de-guerre of national hero Karekin Pastermadjian was chosen in order to highlight a devotion to human rights, academic success and political engagement. Armen Karo's life is seen as the optimal representation of the organisation's membership and mission.

Mission

Our mission is to assist existing Armenian Student Associations at Canadian universities, to promote Armenian studies on university campuses, and to mobilise our communities in furthering the Armenian Cause through political, academic and intellectual means on a local, provincial and national level.
