Loosi Azarian

President

Majors: History and International Studies with a primary track in Political Science

College: Marshall

About Loosi: In a nutshell… I’m a loud and opinionated thrill seeker who likes to bite literally and metaphorically. Dubbed a social butterfly, I like to mingle with everyone and anyone. As a result, I feel I can relate to everyone on some level. Be yourself, and I guarantee we will get along. I love to eat… debate and philosophize… and laugh. Chat with me… I’m a good listener and tend to give decent advice.

Henrietta Movsessian

Vice President

Major: Political Science, Minor: Law and Society

College: Marshall

About Henrietta: Hi, I’m Henrietta, those close to me call me Hen. I am majoring in Political Science with a minor in Law & Society. I am very interested in the way our government is run and hope to one day become a politician. I actually enjoy having a full, busy schedule at all times… as weird as that may sound. I can usually be found checking my e-mail or reading articles on the CNN app on my phone. In addition to being a part of ASA, I am the President of Alpha Gamma Alpha and a part of my college’s Student Council. I tend to name everything I own, from cars to stuffed animals to jewelry. I absolutely love San Diego and I am thinking of staying here in the future.

Hovo Keseyan

Secretary

Major: Mechanical Engineering

College: Marshall

About Hovo: I love to make the most out of college life whether it involves engineering, sports, partying, concerts, philanthropy, or student organizations. I like to keep things diverse so that they are always interesting – this can be seen not only in my hobbies and selection of friends, but also in my taste in music: Harout Pamboukjian, Pink Floyd, Tiesto, System of a Down, Tupac, Greek and orchestra music among many others accompany relatively equal place in my heart (although Harout brings out the best dancer in me). I believe that although there is a time for work and a time for fun, the best way to get work done is to make your work fun. I definitely enjoy being an exec member of ASA, president of Alpha Epsilon Omega, co-founder of Siblings Without Borders, and a mechanical engineering student. We are not just here in college to disappear from the face of the Earth for a few years, get our degrees and magically start living again – we are all students still living our lives, so if there is a party around don’t forget to invite me

Gayaneh Davoodian

Treasurer

Majors: Economics & International Studies- Anthropology and Middle Eastern Studies

College: Eleanor Roosevelt

Avo Kambourian

Social Chair

Major: Communication

College: Sixth

About Avo: Three words to describe me- photo, music, and film. Those aren’t personality traits but my main sources of joy in this world. I love many different types of music and art, but stories are what drive me. My aspirations are to become the best storyteller I can possibly be, whether it’s through photography, film, or writing, storytelling is what drives both my passions and my goals.
Some interesting facts about me: I’ve lived in Armenia for 4 months, I’m fascinated by culture, and despite the fact that I love all types of ethnic food I’ve never had Indian food.
I consider myself a very approachable person, whether you’re an incoming freshman, transfer students, or a current student whose lost or bored out of your mind, talk to others, meet people with similar interests, that’s what ASA is all about.

Elvira Derhovsepian

Philanthropy Chair

Major: Human Development

College: Sixth

About Elvira: Nicknamed Virus, short for Elvirus. I have a big interest in the study and research of the eye, so I hope to work somewhere in that field for a career. Other than that, my heart has and always will have a big spot for the arts. I write for The Armenian Chronicles and hope to get involved in other areas of journalism in the future, even for a hobby. A couple of fun life goals: eat escargot in France, go backpacking/hiking at many worldwide landmarks and learn to fluently speak Spanish, Swedish and Russian. Oh and I say “thug life” a lot, get used to it!

Vahe Lepedjian

Public Relations

Major: Pharmacological Chemistry

College: John Muir

About Vahe: Music plays a huge role in my life- whether it be listening to it, playing piano, or attending concerts/music festivals. Radiohead is my favorite band but I also like many other folk/indie artists. I’m also big on Armenian poetry, dance and music. I love nature and try to go camping as often as I can. My main goal in life is to travel around the world and get exposed to as many different cultures as possible. I know nothing about pop culture so expect a blank stare if you ever bring it up haha.

Nare Kupelian

All ASA Repesentative

Major: Political Science

College: Eleanor Roosevelt

About Nare: I am often compared to a Snapple fact generator because I tend to spew out random facts about pretty much everything. My fascination with history and human rights led me to my choice in a Political Science and History double major with a minor in Human Rights. I love chi kyufteh, lebni, Harout Pamboukjian and moustaches and around 2:00am every night, you can find me either sending out ASA e-mails or eating carne asada fries or both simultaneously.

Vanuhi Karapetian

Historian

Majors: Political Science and History

College: Eleanor Roosevelt

About Vanuhi: I can be spotted in a crowd very easily: look for the girl jumping around with the overly bouncy ball of curly hair. I am very energetic, to say the least. I am very passionate about justice and the legal system; thus, I am a joint political science and history major. I became very interested in history after entering UCSD and going through the MMW series at Eleanor Roosevelt College. Armenian history and culture is especially fascinating to me. Besides academics, I also love the beach, nature, hiking, reading, cleaning, etc.
