NEW YORK/YEREVAN — Located in Armavir Province, ACT College is Armenia’s first Creative Technologies College, offering inclusive, innovative, and industry-aligned education in computer science, digital art, and engineering. The college’s mission is powered by strong diaspora ties and supported through generous donors, government partnerships, and global collaborations.
In an effort to expand ACT’s global ties, Amalya Yeghoyan, executive director of Gyumri Information Technologies Center (GITC) and founder of ACT College, visited the US in late March. With stops in Chicago, New York/New Jersey and Washington, DC, she showcased ACT’s vision, mission, and programs to enthusiastic supporters and formalized key partnerships with businesses and organizations, laying the foundation for Armenia’s students.
In a heartfelt gathering at St. James of Nisibis Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church in Evanston, Ill., Yeghoyan met with members of the Armenian-American community at a special fundraising event dedicated to the future of education and innovation in Armenia.
The event underscored unity, purpose, and vision. Alongside contributions from attendees, she announced that several classrooms and labs at ACT College will be named in honor of long-term donors.
“Your belief in ACT is not just inspiring — it’s transformative,” Yeghoyan told the assembled crowd. “Every donor, every supporter, becomes part of our students’ journey. We are doing more than just shaping the infrastructure for the next generation of Armenian talent — we are building futures.”
Oscar Tatossian, Honorary Consul of the Republic of Armenia in Chicago, and Paruir Sarkisian had organized the evening.
