📅 Join us for a full-day getaway to Dilijan, where you’ll reconnect with fellow AUA alumni, go on a leisurely hike through the forest, learn how to make not-so-traditional Armenian gata, and enjoy dinner at a beloved local guesthouse co-founded by a fellow alum!
This alumni gathering is being graciously hosted by Meline Tovmasyan (MBA '00), (GCHHM '22) at Daravand Guesthouse, a warm and cozy corner tucked away in the forest of Dilijan that has become a favorite spot among local and international travelers. It’s your chance to get out of Yerevan, enjoy the countryside, and learn more about new initiatives from the Office of Alumni Relations.
Come solo or bring a guest – this event is open to all alumni and their +1s.
