Coordinator
Mr. Mehdizadeh Tabrizi
Mr. Mehdizadeh Tabrizi was born in September 1942, near the autumnal equinox, in Mianeh, Iran. He describes his life as a lifelong commitment to God, creation, education, service, and the betterment of people.
From early childhood he helped his family and community. By age ten he was helping with his father's business, and by fourteen he had begun his own business. Sports and teaching also shaped his path: he began soccer at age eight and later excelled in soccer, running, volleyball, and basketball.
As a student and teacher, Mr. Tabrizi tutored discouraged students and taught science, mathematics, biology, anatomy, and geology. After graduating from George Washington University, he organized a historic Ramadan gathering at the Marvin Center and continued developing educational and cultural initiatives.
In 1986, he established Avicenna University in Washington, DC. UN26 and 26 University continue his broader hope: to encourage leaders, teachers, and communities to discover talents, build cooperation, and serve a more peaceful world.
