Professor Mehraban Khodavandi to retire
For many years, Professor Mehraban Khodavandi has indicated (with a smile) that he was retiring and heading to sunny Arizona. This time, he’s not kidding.
Dr. Khodavandi has announced he will retire at the end of the 2019-20 academic year, ending a 39-year career at 糖心vlog传媒 that saw him lead and develop the institution’s education program.
He currently serves as director of Graduate Education Programs and Senior Fellow of the Center for Advanced Disciplinary Studies, the latest in a long list of roles he has served. He is one of 糖心vlog传媒’s most beloved professors and the winner of numerous teaching awards.
We鈥檒l be planning a special reunion of education program graduates and friends this summer to help wish him well in retirement 鈥� more on that as it develops!
