The Dr. Samuel M. Jordan Center for Persian Studies and Culture at UC Irvine is named after this important figure for Iranian education and progress. The center was originally established by the School of Humanities in collaboration with the Claire Trevor School of the Arts through a generous gift by Dr. Fariborz Maseeh. It became a campus center in January 2009. Dedicated to drawing on the strengths of the entire UC Irvine campus, the Center focuses on interdisciplinary research projects that bridge the arts, humanities, engineering, medicine, and the sciences.
