The Rutgers Business School in New Jersey is naming a classroom at the University after a popular Indian-American professor of finance and economics, Farrokh Langdana.
Langdana, a B.Tech graduate in civil engineering from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and Robert Campbell, a 1962 MBA from Rutgers are being honored with the naming of classrooms after them.
The classroom namings – the first in Rutgers Business School’s history – are part of a new and continuing initiative by Dean Lei Lei to recognize faculty and alumni of uncommon distinction.
The “Professor Farrokh Langdana Classroom” naming in the RBS – Newark building at 1 Washington Park is a way for alumni and faculty to demonstrate their admiration and respect for Professor Langdana, and to ensure that his name will be forever associated with Rutgers Business School, a July 12 press release from the university said.
“Farrokh’s dedication to RBS and to his students is legendary,” Dean Lei is quoted saying. “He has received many outstanding teaching awards and has been an inspiration to countless Executive MBA, MBA, and International Executive MBA students over the years.”
Langdana said he was honored by the naming, but attributed his success to the “exceptional” students who take the Rutgers Executive MBA, and his colleagues. He noted the high global ranking of the business school and noted “… we are an understated school that overperforms.” He credited faculty and students with having “their two feet planted firmly on the ground – there is nothing pretentious about us.”
‘And yet our students totally nail it out there in the business world – from the case competitions, to their jobs, to their careers – they consistently overperform,” Langdana said. “And this makes me so proud to play my tiny part in this amazing RBS success story.”
A recipient of more than 30 teaching awards, Langdana is the author of five books and several articles and has taught in China, France, Iceland, India and Singapore, in addition to the U.S. He received his MBA, Masters and Ph.D. from Virginia Tech. His areas of specialization include monetary and fiscal theory and international trade and global macroeconomic policy.
