Dear NUST Community, Assalam-o Alaikum!
I have completed my tenure as Rector NUST on 15th of Dec. It has been an exciting journey over the past four years. I would like to take a moment to reflect and express my gratitude to each member of NUST fraternity for their valuable support and partnership. Serving NUST has indeed been a unique experience and greatest honor of my life. It was a privilege to work with so many creative and talented minds. We have endured numerous challenges, alongside many achievements.
Our collective efforts have advanced NUST as a leader in education, research, and innovation. I take immense pride in what our Pro Rectors, faculty, staff, students and alumni have accomplished. I have no doubt that NUST will continue to grow and excel as an institution of learning that will connect the past with the present and lead the future.
As I say farewell to you all, I am pleased to pass the baton to Dr Muhammad Zahid Latif. I have full confidence in his leadership and vision, which I believe will take NUST to even greater success. I will always be a part of your journey, cheering for its successes and offering my support whenever and wherever needed.
I feel honoured of serving as your Rector. Wishing you all continued success and progress in the years ahead.
With profound regards,
Engr Javed Mahmood Bukhari,
Rector NUST
