Dear SAS member,

We are sorry to bear the sad news of the passing of historian and educator and long time SAS member Dr. Garabet K. Moumdjian. Moumdjian was an independent historian and an Ottomanist. He obtained his Ph.D.  in 2012 from UCLA under the supervision of Prof. Richard Hovannisian. His dissertation is titled “Struggling for a Constitutional Regime: Armenian-Young Turk Relations in the Era of  Abdul Hamid II, 1895-1909.” He served as principal of the Armenian Mesrobian School and as Vice-Principal of the Vahan and Anoush Chamlian School. He taught Armenian History at California State University, Northridge, University of La Verne, UCLA, and Glendale Community College.

Our hearts go out to her family and beloved ones.
