Cingoz, a Senior Honors Physics student at University California, Berkeley,
who has already received graduate school acceptances from prestigious
universities such as Cornell, Berkeley, and UC Santa Barbara delivered
an illustrated presentation during the closed meeting for the Members
only. In his presentation titled "Cosmic Ray Division - Preserving
World Class Science in Armenia", Arman talked about the accomplishments
of the CRD, their international collaborations, their vision for the
future and the Diaspora involvement in that process.
Both presentations were well received. The Evening was fun for everyone.
