The Armenian Students Organization has been busy for the past few months. In the first meeting of the semester, members elected two new executives; Diana Gasparyan, President, and Kara Statler, Vice President.
On Friday December 16, 2016, ASO had its Annual Christmas Party. The party was a huge success with great music, food, and dancing. Members danced late into the night and enjoyed a photo booth with music provided by DJ Diko. The desserts were handmade by dedicated ASO members. On Monday, February 20, ASO members enjoyed a night of socializing and games at the Statler family residence. This event was a great way for new members to meet the group in a casual setting.
