A few weeks ago Dr. Peiman Naseradinmousavi’s father unexpectedly passed away and no condolence card was left in the Dean’s office for the other faculty to sign, despite the fact that he announced his father’s passing on LinkedIn. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">This speaks volume of how much the Dean’s office values its faculty.
