Muskie Alumna Named State Alumni Member of the Month

Karine Taslakyan (Muskie 2004) was recognized as July's State Alumni Member of the Month for her contributions to the alumni community in Armenia. Karine serves as vice president of the American Graduates Association (AGA), an association of U.S. government-sponsored exchange program alumni in Armenia, and has implemented projects to increase public awareness of ecological issues and build capacity among NGOs in the rural development sector.

The State Alumni website is an online community of alumni of U.S. government-sponsored exchange programs. It provides opportunities for alumni to network with each other, develop their careers, and stay in touch with the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, thus helping to extend their exchange experience. Alumni must register on the site in order to gain access to the community.
