Dr. Nohad A. Toulan is Dean Emeritus of the College of Urban and Public Affairs at Portland State University



A small remembrance of Nohad Toulan,


In the year of 1989, while I had been a Visiting Scholar at UC Berkeley, the ACSP annual meeting was held in Portland, hosted by Prof. Toulan.

At the conference hotel there had been a simultaneous – smaller though – meeting, of a group of Veterans that have joined a bombardment squad during the 2nd WW. Participants of both meetings were sharing the hallway. Toulan – who was due to open the ACSP meeting -- put his style with a humoresque introductory warning: “The meeting of the bombardiers is in the next door saloon…”
