The Armenian Students Annual
Վէմ (Vem) is our yearly publication — a shared record of Armenian student thought and creativity. It carries student submissions from any region: essays, research, poetry, art, and reflection, in Armenian and English alike.
The first volume of Վէմ is being assembled. The publication itself is coming soon — but submissions are open right now. Read the guidelines below and send us your work.
