The Philadelphia Business Journal once again has named Dr. Ali A. Houshmand to its Power 100 list of the most influential people in the region.

The Philadelphia Business Journal wrote: "His personal story, rising from extreme poverty in Iran as a child to leading what's now a major research institution, is compelling alone, but when mixed with his own passionate, out-of-the-box approach, Houshmand's become one of the region's most prominent and successful leaders in higher education."

This is the third year in a row the Philadelphia Business Journal has included Houshmand on the Power 100 list. The publication's recognition follows the Educator of the Year Award the Research & Development Council of New Jersey presented to Houshmand earlier this month.
