Throughout his time at Chapman University, Arshak has experienced both academic and personal growth, making his college journey a memorable one.<\/p>\n<h3>Academic Excellence and Faculty Impact<\/h3>\n<p>For Arshak, the academic environment at Chapman has been both rewarding and challenging. He acknowledges that the rigorous courses pushed him to excel in his studies, while the professors played a pivotal role in shaping his educational experience. &#8220;I believe it&#8217;s not the courses that change students but the professors,&#8221; Arshak shared. &#8220;I was lucky to have met extraordinary professors like Dr. Veselina Vracheva and Dr. Peter Jipsen, who completely altered my understanding of management and problem-solving.&#8221; Their mentorship has had a lasting impact on his approach to leadership and tackling challenges.\u00a0 <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6842 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/d.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"212\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/d.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/d-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/d-1024x763.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/d-768x572.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Arshak emphasizes that the professors at Argyros College come with invaluable real-world experience.

Even before setting foot on campus, he was already a member of the Chapman Hockey Club! His involvement didn\u2019t stop there\u2014he\u2019s still active in several student organizations. One that stands out? The<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapman__entrepreneurs\/\"> CEO Club<\/a>. \u201cThe CEO Club events feel like high-level business podcasts,\u201d he says. \u201cThe guest speakers always have great stories and really care about the audience.\u201d From networking to fun activities, Arshak has found a place where his entrepreneurial dreams thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Arshak is also the Co-President of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/chapmanrussianclub\/\">Russian Speaking Club<\/a> at Chapman. \u201cBeing part of the Russian Speaking Club has been an incredible way to stay connected to my cultural roots and share that with others on campus,\u201d he shared.

This location provides students with the opportunity to connect with industry professionals and build networks that can significantly impact their careers. &#8220;Chapman\u2019s location near a business hub like LA offers an extraordinary number of skilled professionals to network with,&#8221; Arshak mentioned. For an aspiring entrepreneur like him, being close to such a dynamic business environment is invaluable for personal and professional growth.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6846 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.52-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"349\" height=\"434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.52-PM.png 1010w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.52-PM-241x300.png 241w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.52-PM-823x1024.png 823w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.52-PM-768x955.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/>Looking Ahead<\/h3>\n<p>As Arshak looks toward the future, his long-term goal is clear\u2014he aims to start a business that will have a substantial impact on the world. This ambitious vision drives him to continuously improve and refine his skills. Reflecting on his journey, Arshak acknowledges that time management has been one of his greatest challenges, but he has made significant progress since his freshman year. &#8220;Time management is a never-ending process, and I\u2019ll likely carry this challenge into my professional career. But trying different techniques and practicing has gotten me this far,&#8221; he shared.<\/p>\n<p>Arshak\u2019s advice to fellow students is to plan their careers carefully and not rush into internships or jobs just because others are doing so. &#8220;Don\u2019t get a job or internship just because everyone around you is getting one,&#8221; he advised. &#8220;Plan your career yourself and decide if you truly need it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>A Memorable College Journey <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-6845 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.42-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"429\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.42-PM.png 780w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.42-PM-169x300.png 169w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.42-PM-578x1024.png 578w, https:\/\/blogs.chapman.edu\/business\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/84\/2024\/09\/Screen-Shot-2024-09-24-at-3.14.42-PM-768x1361.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 242px) 100vw, 242px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>Despite the academic and career-focused aspects of his time at Chapman, Arshak\u2019s favorite memories are rooted in the friendships he has made along the way. &#8220;No matter how studious or career-oriented you are, the best memories always come from the people you are around,&#8221; he said.
