As a meaningful closure to the academic year, the Study Abroad & International Student Services Office at American University of Armenia organized a festive Farewell Party for all Study Abroad students. The gathering took place in the Student Union, where students came together in a warm and celebratory atmosphere next to the Christmas tree.

During the event, participants exchanged Secret Santa gifts, sharing laughter and appreciation for the friendships they had built throughout the year. The highlight of the evening was a surprise creative activity—the creation of a “Passport of Experiences.” This personalized “book” allowed students to reflect on and document the journeys they had taken as part of the Discover Armenia program, capturing memories, impressions, and cultural discoveries from their travels across the country.

The farewell celebration offered students a chance to look back on a year of learning, exploration, and connection, while celebrating the experiences that made their time at AUA both academically enriching and personally unforgettable.
