Washington - Carthage College senior Ani Grigorian, who is double majoring in communication and public relations, recently completed an eight-week Armenian Assembly internship at the Washington-based Center for Immigration Studies. While in the city, she met Rep. Paul Ryan (R.-Wisc.) and made many new friends, including one of her roommates, a student from Lebanon.

A dean's list student, Ms. Grigorian works in the college admissions office while staying active in extracurricular activities. She serves as vice president for public relations for her business fraternity, Pi Sigma Epsilon, and as vice president of her sorority, Pi Theta. Formerly with the Carthage Red Hots dance team, she now dances with the Illuzions.

Ms. Grigorian is also active in her church, having served as a national delegate for the Armenian Church Youth Organization of America. Before her internship she traveled twice to Armenia as a volunteer.
