    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 excited to introduce a project named Notable Alums, 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.

    We initiated this project featuring Dr. Babak Parviz. Apart from his professional successes, in recent years, Dr. Parvez has been one of the supporters of the Seattle chapter of SUTA and shared his experiences with the participants of several SUTA's monthly meetings.

    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 مفتخریم که شروع پروژه ای به نام Notable Alums (دانش آموختگان برجسته دانشگاه) را معرفی کنیم که از طریق آن٬ و با کمک شما، قصد داریم دانش آموختگان موفق را شناسایی کنیم و دستاوردهای آنها را در وب سایت SUTA به اشتراک بگذاریم. ما از شما دعوت می کنیم تا با معرفی  Notable Alums (دانش آموختگان برجسته) از طریق این فرم به ما کمک کنید.

    ما این پروژه را با معرفی دکتر بابک پرویز آغاز می کنیم. جدا از موفقیت های حرفه ای ایشون، در سالهای اخیر دکتر پرویز از مشوقین و حامیان سوتای شاخه سیاتل هستند و در چندین جلسه تجربیات خود را با شرکت کنندگان جلسات ماهانه سوتا به اشتراک گذاشتند.

    Following the recent widespread students protests in the universities in Iran, the university authorities in addition to expulsion and suspension of the protestors have started to reprimand  and suspend faculties that supported the protestors. Furthermore, they are forcing all students to sign statements requiring them to abide by new unlawful disciplinary regulations. At the same time in an concerted efforts from top down the universities managers are being appointed based on their ideological and political view rather than their scientific and management abilities and without input from faculty and student councils.

    As a result we are unfortunately witnessing escalation of a trend that by appointment of the individuals who are aligned with government and debarment of the  independent faculties, universities become devoid of the free thinking and and critical views.

    SUTA is expressing its deep concern about above trend and demands that the university authorities abandon this approach and allow the managers to be selected by the university councils. Also the university management should respect academic freedom and create an environment conducive to flourishing of diverse views.

    List of available online educational classes and programs for university students in Iran

    Many students have been suspended or expelled from the universities in Iran following the recent protests. The university authorities and the Ministry of Education have tightened the previous disciplinary regulations following the protests that can lead to more expulsion and suspension. 

    These students are facing serious interruption in their studies. In helping these students to stay current with their studied field and even possibility of obtaining degrees online we have collected a running list of available free online educational courses and programs. We ask everyone to distribute this list in the media visited by the university students in Iran and call to the academics in Iran and abroad to offer such courses to the students.

    SUTA Appealing to the Universities Abroad to Ease Application Process for Student from Iran

    Due to the recent protests in Iran against the government, authorities often restrict internet access throughout the country to prevent the circulation of the news.  As a result, students that are applying to universities abroad may encounter intermittent problem in filling application forms online. The Iranian government has also substantially increased the fee for release of the students’ academic records in recent months. This is amidst an economic crisis in Iran that has led to devaluation of the Iranian currency compared to foreign currencies making the application fee and fees for taking GRE and TOEFL unaffordable for many applicants. Even if applicants afford the exam fees, the internet instability is often preventing them from taking the exams.

    To ease the application process for the students facing difficulties in applying to the universities abroad due to the above situation, we are suggesting that the universities:

    1.    Waive the application fee

    2.    Waive GRE and/or TOEFL exams requirement

    3.   Conditionally accept unofficial transcripts

    4.   Extend application deadlines

     

    Of course, universities can require applicants to take any competency exam and provide official transcripts once they arrived to the universities.

    In these difficult times in Iran, helping with any of the above items would be a big support for prospective graduate students from Iran to have the opportunity to pursue their academic goal.
