Armen Goglanian Disabled Students Tribute Run

In 1988 the Associated Students sponsored its annual fund-raising five-kilometer run/walk in tribute to the Disabled Students Center. As a result of that program, the ASOCC established this endowed scholarship for disabled students who have exhibited excellence in their academic endeavors.

Campus Colleagues, a group of disabled and able-bodied students who are dedicated to enhancing the educational, social and political awareness and experiences of all disabled students enhanced the scholarship in loving memory of Armen Goglanian, a visually impaired student, who was struck and killed by a car while crossing a street in 1987. Armen was the epitome of everything Campus Colleagues stands for. There was nothing “handicapped” about Armen. He was self-sufficient, energetic, happy, involved and an incredible giver; Armen lived to help others. Anyone who has ever experienced Armen’s laugh will remember what this scholarship stands for.
