Today, the already traditional “Best Reader” event was held at the Pedagogical University’s Academic Library, which was the 6th this year.
The ceremony was launched with the blessing and the Lord’s prayers by the Reverent Torgom; the latter noticed that year by year he was getting assured that the University’s library was its true spiritual center.
76 best students, 5 pupils from the University’s secondary and high schools, 10 most read lecturers, booklets printed with the best faculty readers’ photos and their biographies; at the beginning of the event the Director of the library Tigran Petrosyants confessed that such results were not anticipated a few years ago.
“I am sure that parents coming from the regions admire the opportunities provided by the University together with the rich variety available at the library; alas, my generation did not have such a library”.
The Director congratulated the best readers of the full time and distant BA, MA courses and awarded them with certificates; throughout the year these readers used more than 150, and the winner- more than 400 printed material.
The “Best Reader” 2015 is the student of the Faculty of Education Psychology and Sociology Armenuhi Melqonyan; likewise best readers came from other Faculties, too, among whom were Tehminei Makoyan, Anahit Hovakimyan, Mariam Melqanyan, Liana Manukyan, Gagik Avetisyan, Gayanei Petrosyan, Silva Gevorgyan, Araqsya Mahtesyan, Mariam Sargsyan, and Avetick Karchikyan. In fact, the latter won in the nomination of “Admiration” in the internet voting.
As every year, this year too, the best readers were also selected from the ASPU base school and the ASPU Secondary school N57; the winners therefrom were Taguhi Asaanyan and Gayanei Galoyan.
Moreover, it is already the 4th year that the renowned psychologist Albert Nalchajyan has been announced as the most demanded author outside the University; and within the University the most demanded author was the Head of the Department of First Medical Aid, Emergency Situations and Civil Protection Hakob Grigoryan, whose works were asked for 10 000 times.
The best readers were congratulated by the Rector of the University who considered that initiative as a great event with exceptional content. The Rector highlighted that the idea of such an undertaking fully belonged to the Director of the Library; in fact, with his suggestion from now on the “Best Reader” will receive two credits in the course of studies, and the other best readers will each receive per credit.
Furhtermore, Rouben Mirzakhanyan awarded the “Best Reader” Armenuhi Meqonyan with his illustrated album co –authored with the Doctor of the Trade Union, Professor Hravard Hakobyan and published in Moscow.
The other participants of the competition were not lacking of encouragement; they received various gifts from the Deans of Faculties, after which the University presented them with a winter holiday trip to the ASPU educational base in Aghavnadzor.
“Being the beast is a great honour; every person must be worth of this title. People often say that they are reading books in their spare time, while this should be done not only in spare time, but at the most important time. When publishing my collection Tigran Petrosyants told me that even if there was a single line that was very important and meaningful then the book was worth publishing. By continuing his words, I would like to say that if there is a book that has a line that is very important, then it is surely worth reading,” mentioned Armenuhi Melqonyan and expressed her acknowledgements.
Among those present at the event were the Universities’ graduates, representatives of various institutions, reading society many of whom sent their good wishes to the best readers, after which one of the graduates of the University, the Editor-in-Chief of the newspaper “Hayastan/Armenia” Tigran Nikoghosyan, in his turn, passed on the commandment by another famous APSU graduate, writer Hrant Matevosyan –not to lose the belief in the Armenian writing.
