AUA has announced its 35th Anniversary Gala, a landmark celebration to be held on November 7, 2026, in Beverly Hills, California. The special evening will bring together AUA supporters, alumni, and distinguished figures from across the Armenian diaspora to celebrate the University’s 35-year legacy of expanding opportunity, advancing knowledge, and shaping the next generation of leaders in Armenia.
The Gala will serve as the culminating event of AUA’s 35th anniversary campaign, Paving the Way for Future Leaders, a yearlong initiative highlighting AUA’s role as a powerful engine for Armenia’s democratic, market-based economy. The campaign underscores the University’s growing impact while making a compelling case for continued investment in AUA’s next chapter of growth and innovation. In addition, select sponsors will be invited to an exclusive pre-gala dinner hosted at the residence of Zaven P. Akian, AUA benefactor and chairman of the University’s Board of Trustees.
