Peyvand since its inception has held cultural and fundraising events to support the University of Washington Persian and Iranian Studies Program (PISP). PISP is dedicated to promoting scholarship and thoughtful public discourse about all aspects of the history and culture of Iran and the Persian-speaking world.
Directed by Professor Aria Fani, of the Department of Middle Eastern Languages and Cultures (MELC), the program's scope includes the diverse Persian and Iranian cultures found throughout the Middle East. Students in the program have the opportunity to study up to four years of Persian language, literature, history, and culture taught in both English and Farsi.
