OC Reads One Book

At the book signing following her campus talk last month, Funny in Farsi author Firoozeh Dumas greets a figure from her past – CSUF alumna Arlene Popkin-Norton (B.S. child development ’79), a former crossing guard at Dumas’ elementary school in Whittier. The author’s address was part of this year’s “Orange County Reads One Book” campaign. A luncheon that followed raised funds for Persian studies and Orange County Reads.
