DR. QAYOUMI LEAVES SAN JOSE STATE FOR ADVISORY ROLE IN AFGHANISTAN

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) --

The president of San Jose State University is saying goodbye to his university life and beginning a new role as chief advisor to the president of Afghanistan.

Monday was the last day on the job for Dr. Mohammad "Mo" Qayoumi, Ph.D. He leaves for Afghanistan later this week. We spent some time with Qayoumi recently, learning about his new job.

We caught up with Qayoumi as he was cleaning out his office, preparing to begin his next chapter in life, commuting between the Bay Area and Afghanistan. - View full story
