A Historic Gift at a Historic Moment With an unrestricted gift of $1 million, Gisel (Hiscock) Kordestani ’96 and her husband, Omid Kordestani have made the largest gift in the University’s history during AUP’s 50th anniversary year. The Kordestanis’ generosity will be recognized by naming the Academic Resource Center – a combined study, tutoring, research, and writing space – within the new Student Life and Learning Center building the Kordestani Academic Resource Center, or ARC, as it is called on campus. The motivation behind the Kordestanis’ gift is to recognize AUP for its excellence in promoting an international perspective in education.
