Message From The Director COMSATS, Sahiwal
COMSATS University Islamabad, Sahiwal Campus has, for more than ten years, been
dedicated to its mission to nurture scholars who will contribute to society by advancing
knowledge and imparting it to new generations of students. Staff, students and supporters
take pride in having contributed to COMSATS University Islamabad reputation as Pakistan’s
flagship, research-led university, known for the excellence of its teaching, its
research, and its service to its local, national and international communities.
Society is changing rapidly in ways which will have a profound impact on the role
of universities. The 21st century will see, for the first time, a decline in the
number of people of working age. This trend, coupled with the changes that innovation
brings, will have a major effect on the way people work and the kinds of jobs they
do. In a world where change is the norm, however, one thing is certain - knowledge
will be a key resource and will be highly sought after within Pakistan and around
the globe. The challenge - shared by all universities - is to help to generate the
intellectual property which will create new jobs, and to educate and train people
to work in fields where they will be valued both for their specialized knowledge,
and for their ability to research, communicate and solve problems.
Key to meeting these challenges is the need to build on the alliances and collaborative
partnerships the University has established with business, industry, government,
and other research institutions. These networks, together with the support of alumni
and friends here and overseas, are critically important if Pakistan is to realize
the full benefits of its investment in the University. It is equally important for
the University to keep close to its wider communities of interest within Pakistan
and internationally. This will help to ensure the ongoing relevance of our academic
programmes and the continued excellence of our teaching, learning and research.
In keeping with this philosophy, the University is committed to ensuring that its
communities of interest are well informed of its goals and activities. On our website,
you will find information on the University teaching and research strengths, its
diverse networks and its vibrant, cosmopolitan campuses, which offer so much of
life and learning. CUI Sahiwal is very fortunate to have outstanding staff, students
and facilities. Our challenge for the future is to build on this strong base to
establish ourselves firmly among the world's leading universities. I hope you will
support us in that endeavour.
With best wishes,
Professor Dr. Saleem Farooq Shaukat
