Hagopian Proudly Supports Michigan Humane

As a pet-owning family, Hagopian understands there is an unmatched joy that comes with being a pet owner, a feeling that transforms a house into a home filled with unconditional love. Every day brings beautiful moments, like an enthusiastic greeting at the door!

But being a proud pet owner also means accepting the responsibility of caring for a pet. Every muddy paw print, stray hair, and new puppy training accident can be a challenge for a homeowner.

And that’s where Hagopian Cleaning Services can help those big-hearted homes by keeping them clean and healthy with Hagopian’s many cleaning options offered. We hope that by offering cleaning services, pet ownership is not a burden but enjoyed for many, many years.

Hagopian proudly supports Michigan Humane and believes in their mission, their goal of finding forever homes. For over 145 years, Michigan Humane has created meaningful, lasting change for animals and the people who love them. Every animal deserves a chance at a loving home!

Annual College for Creative Studies Rug Design Competition

Since 1988 Hagopian has worked to foster education by working with community partners to sponsor programs designed to promote higher education using both mentoring and scholarship incentives. Over twenty years ago Edgar Hagopian conceived of an idea to hold a "Rug Design Competition" for students in a related curriculum.  Collaborating with Detroit's Center for Creative Studies (now the College for Creative Studies), he sponsored a competition for interested students.  Using local judges from the design community, first, second and third place designs were selected and the students were awarded with cash incentives.  The first place design was then made into a rug and displayed during the annual Student Exhibition. The response to the competition was overwhelmingly positive for all involved.

Putting her signature on the program started by her father, Suzanne Hagopian has expanded the competition to include scholarship moneys as well as an annual donation to the school.  The awards are personally presented by Suzanne to the winning students on the opening night of the annual CCS Student Exhibition.  See our Student Winner’s Gallery!

U Prep Academy Student Rug Design Competition

With increased focus on preparing students for college and careers, Hagopian embraced the opportunity to work with Level 1 students at University Prep Art and Design, to help them develop their portfolios and skills to succeed after graduation. The students were asked to create rug designs that are inspired by a theme. Students walk through the design process and learn how to design a rug while working with industry craftsman. This project is aligned to a career in art and design, is a problem that is solved based on a theme that is culturally responsive, and includes input from a community adult partner that is active throughout the process. Students are expected to not only create work based on the theme, but to also make their pieces work as a potential rug design through their chosen track.
