AI summary

In 2016, philanthropist and San Francisco State University Alumna, Neda Nobari, made a bold proposition to SFSU: to establish the Center for Iranian Diaspora Studies to support new research, scholarship and programming to highlight the Iranian diaspora experience. Nobari's generous gift made possible the establishment of this Research and Service Organization (RSO) and, in the fall of 2017, Dr. Persis Karim was hired as the Center's inaugural director.
