Go forth to serve, VC tells SMIU graduates

Karachi
The first part of the university’s mission statement-Enter to learn and go forth to serve-has been completed for the graduating students and the second part has started for them.
Vice Chancellor Sindh Madressatul Islam University Dr Muhammad Ali Shaikh said this while addressing the first graduating batch of Department of Media Studies and Education here. He said that the graduating students were indebted to the poor people of Pakistan, through whose contribution in form of taxes, enabled them to use latest radio station, television station, digital library and laboratories and other facilities.
“The nation had invested in them and now it was their turn to return the favour to the nation, society and the institution.”
He gave example of Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah who studied at the SMIU for about five years from 1887 to 1892 and gave his entire property, which he earned through hard work, to educational institutions in the sub-continent with 1/3rd to his Alma-Matter SMI through his ‘last will’.
