COLLEGE OF BUSINESS, CURRENT DEAN, UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON AT VICTORIA
(June 18, 2009) Niroomaster There is already evidence, given the Niroomand & Hudson Play a Little Game scenario,

(June 28, 2009) Niroomand Dizzying Former CoB associate dean, and new dean of the business school at the
University of Houston – Victoria, Farhang Niroomand is as fickle as ever about his photo and new dean's message on

Niroomand's oft-promoted U.S. Department of Education international business education grant(s).
