I am deeply thankful to him for his guidance and support. Moreover, I am also grateful for many Zikrs I have received from mumineen around the globe on similar instances that have transpired with them. I had made a niyyat of completing a total of 100 Moajizaas of Aqa Maula TUS by the time of the auspicious occasion of 100th Milad Mubarak (25/03/2011). I am truly grateful and thankful to all mumin-muminaat who have supported me towards this quest of presenting this humble Hadiyah to our beloved Moula…Moula aap aa Nacheez Hadiyah ne qabool karjo! Mumineen are encouraged to circulate these collections liberally. Let us all show the world the many Ehsanaat and Shanaats of our beloved Dai!

Water represents the building block of this business. This qualification made the arid region of Karachi theoretically unsuitable for textile processing, unless if one enjoyed access to a robust municipal connection or one was sitting on top of an aquifer.

  • The 2007 Strategic Plan
    Choosing to be Great OCTOBER A VISION OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY—PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE— THE UNIVERSITY’S STRATEGIC PLAN NOVEMBER 19, 2007 Contents Foreword by President Robert A. Brown . 3 Our Plan . 5 What We’re Proud Of . 7 Where We Are Today . 14 The Point of Departure . 21 What Remains to be Done . 25 Choosing to be Great . 31 2 | A VISION OF BOSTON UNIVERSITY Foreword I’m pleased to provide some introductory thoughts to this document, which arrives at an important turning point in the history of Boston University. In the winter of 2005, about three months into my term as BU’s president, I set in motion a strategic planning process, aimed at establishing our institutional priorities and enabling us to make wise resource-allocation choices in the months and years to come. That process started with the deans of our 17 schools and colleges asking their respective departments and centers to come up with 15-page descriptions of their places in the world today, and their aspirations for tomorrow. (To avoid boring my readers, I’ll simplify the overall process here.) The deans, in turn, used these collections of mini-strategic plans to create 15-page school-wide strategic plans—a major feat of distillation, for which I commend them and remain grateful. These plans were presented at a University leadership retreat held in April 2006. Several weeks later, after Commencement, I asked a group of faculty members and administrators to serve as a formal strategic plan- ning task force. They were charged, specifically, with thinking about the needs of the University as a whole.

Made possible through the generous support of distinguished donors and alumni, these professorships are presented to promising junior faculty who have been at BU for no more than two years. This fall, we are delighted to announce the award of four such named professorships, two of which will have their first honorees during the 2015-2016 academic year. Endowed since 2006 by BU Trustee Peter Paul, The Peter Paul Career Development Professorship is awarded each year to junior faculty University-wide. The East Asia Studies Career Development Professorship, meanwhile, was launched this past January through the backing of a BU alumnus based in Taiwan and recognizes assistant professors in the College of Arts & Sciences, the College of Communication, the College of Fine Arts, and the Questrom School of Business whose research is specific to East Asia. Both of these awards include a three- year, non-renewable stipend designed to support scholarly or creative work, as well as a portion of the recipients’ salaries.
