Invitation to Annual General Assembly AGA-2024

The Election Working Group of the Bylaws Committee is pleased to announce the start of election process for future Compliance Board (CB) and Election Board (EB). 

The election will be held at SUTA Annual General Assembly (AGM), which will be held on June 23. Per SUTA Bylaws, only members who are active for 6 months or more at the election date are eligible to be elected for CB and EB.

To nominate yourself or another eligible member, please complete this form.

گروه کاری انتخابات کمیته آیین‌نامه‌ها با خرسندی آغاز فرایند انتخابات برای هیئت نظارت (CB) و هیئت انتخابات (EB) آینده را اعلام می‌کند.

این رای‌گیری در مجمع عمومی سالانه سوتا که در تاریخ ۲۳ ژوئن برگزار خواهد شد، برگزار می‌شود. طبق آیین‌نامه سوتا، تنها اعضایی که در زمان راگیری به مدت ۶ ماه یا بیشتر فعال بوده‌اند، واجد شرایط برای انتخاب شدن در این هیئت‌ها می‌باشند.

برای نامزدی خود یا یک عضو واجد شرایط دیگر، لطفاً این فرم را تکمیل کنید.

SUTA has been celebrating the exceptional members of the Sharif community via different awards (Service and Lifetime/Distinguished Achievement) or naming awards after them (Dr. Mojtahedi, Dr. Amin, Dr. Hojabri, and Dr. Mirzakhani Awards). However, the number and frequency of these awards do not do justice to recognizing many successful alums who serve the greater community that they live in.

We are pleased to continue with our Notable Alums project, through which, with your help, we identify successful alums and showcase their achievements on the SUTA website. We invite you to help us by nominating Notable Alums via this form. Your nominations will be a great help in our process of selecting and seeking cooperation and approval of nominees for sharing their successes on our website.

In this article, we feature Saeed Fasihi, who is the founder and CEO of Fasihi Software Company. He pursued his education at Sharif University as a "doreh 9" Industrial Engineering student, following the completion of his secondary education at Alborz High School in 1974.

انجمن دانشگاه صنعتی شریف (SUTA) اعضای شاخص مجموعه دانشگاه خود را از طریق جوایز مختلف (Service و Lifetime / Distinguished Achievement) یا نامگذاری جوایز (دکتر مجتهدی، دکتر هژبری و دکتر میرزاخانی) گرامی داشته است. با این حال، تعداد و تواتر این جوایز خدمتی که فارغ التحصیلان موفق که به جامعه بزرگتری که در آن زندگی می کنند را بدرستی قدردانی نمی‌کنند.

ما خرسندیم که پروژه Notable Alums (دانش آموختگان برجسته دانشگاه) را ادامه می‌دهیم٬ که از طریق آن٬ و با کمک شما، دانش آموختگان موفق را شناسایی کرده و دستاوردهای آنها را در وب سایت SUTA به اشتراک می‌گذاریم. ما از شما دعوت می کنیم تا با معرفی  Notable Alums (دانش آموختگان برجسته) از طریق این فرم به ادامه این پروژه کمک کنید.

در این مقاله٬ آقای سعيد فصيحی را معرفی میکنیم که بنيانگذار و مدير عامل شرکت نرم افزاری فصيحی است.  او پس از اتمام تحصيلات متوسطه در دبيرستان البرز در سال 1974،  دانشجوی ورودی دوره 9 مهندسی صنايع دانشگاه شريف شد.

Dear Members of the SUTA Community,
Nowruz Pirouz!
In harmony with the spirit of spring—a time of renewal, hope, and the vibrant awakening of nature, the Sharif University of Technology Association (SUTA) extends its warmest wishes to you, your families,  and all your loved ones for a year filled with good health, joy, and prosperity.
