Farewell for Dr. Faridoun Farrokh
On May 6, 2010 the Department of Language and Literature organized a party in honor of Dr. Faridoun Farrokh who will be retiring in late August.
Farrokh is an English professor who has been teaching at TAMIU for 21 years, since July 1989.
Professors, students, and staff gathered at the restaurant, Johnny Cariños, to celebrate Farrokh.
During the ceremony, Dr. Francis Rhodes presented a very special gift "Brick," to symbolize that his name will become part of TAMIU's memory walk located in front of Pellegrino Hall and Cowart Hall.
In 1961, Dr. Farrokh obtained his undergraduate degree at the Mashad University of Mashad, Iran. Several years later, the University of Kansas awarded him with a Master of Arts in English.
In 1977, he graduated from the doctoral program of Arts in English with a minor in history from the Middle Tennessee State University. His dissertation topic was "A Poet Double-Form'd: an Analytical Study of Samuel Johnson's English Verse".
Dr. Farrokh has published several books and journal articles in English as well as Persian.
