    On January 24th 2013, SUTA Toronto Chapter hosted a talk along with a networking session at Bayview Golf and Country Club. Dr. Hossein Nivi, President & CEO of Pendaran Inc., gave the talk on how advanced technology can accelerate active learning. Members from Fanni Alumni Association in Ontario and Mohandes association also attended the event and they each had a table for their members. There were also guests from University of Waterloo and University of Ontario Institute of Technology.

    Event started with a short networking session. While guests were being registered and assigned to their tables, there was time for people on the same table to get to know each other.

    Dr. Bahram Zahir, Secretary of the Board of Directors opened the session and introduced Dr. Nivi. Dr. Nivi then started his talk with the importance of experience along with education and how it can affect the quality of the jobs done in the society. This gave him the idea of the Pendaran Inc. to be “a library of experience” as he put it. Pendaran provides its clients with virtual environments of their desired workspace. During the workshops, students are exposed to the obstacles and problems they may face during work. One of the people who has been through this course, Mr. Ali Rahmani, was also present at the event and was invited to talk about his experience during the workshop.

    During the question and answer session, interesting questions were asked such as how this idea of virtual experience can turn into a four-year bachelor’s degree to improve the quality of education in universities. However, the importance of science and theory was also emphasized.

    After the talk, dinner was served and ideas were exchanged between the attendees.

    Dear Members,

    Sharif University of Technology Association (SUTA) seeks nominations for Board of Directors. We will elect, by voting from SUTA membership, seven directors to serve a two year term beginning January, 2013. The nominees and the voters should be a SUTA member in good standing at the time of elections (this means that their membership fees should have been paid). Associate members can not run as candidates for the elections.

    SUTA welcomes all members, independent of their highest degree, college affiliation, year of graduation, gender, and geographic representation to run for these positions and to bring their skills, experience and perspectives into the new Board. While the nomination is open to all members, the depth and breadth of the nominee's volunteer experiences in general, and volunteer involvement with SUTA's local chapters would be a grand asset. We strive to balance Board membership along a number of dimensions to represent the general membership as widely as possible. Please note that this is truly a working board and not an honorary or advisory position.

    Nomination deadline is set for December 25, 2012. To nominate yourself, please send a brief CV, a personal picture in JPEG format, and a letter indicating your volunteer activities and experience, as well as your academic and work background, current location, and aspirations for SUTA to suta.bod@gmail.com. Candidates will be announced on our website, www.suta.org as we receive the nominations. The voting period will be during December 26, 2012 through January 20th, 2013. Voting process is supervised by an independent advisory group, and results will be announced by the end of January, 2013.

    Many thanks for your help in building a strong SUTA Board.
