VICE CHANCELLOR MESSAGE
I have joined THE UNIVERSITY OF MODERN SCIENCES (TUMS) at an exciting and indeed a challenging time, where the university finds itself at the cross roads of its embryonic development and being a driver of societal change. Leading a university is an intellectually rewarding venture, but one that is far from easy.
It requires certain equipoise between efficient management and the recognition and enhancement of intellectual freedom and creativity.
TUMS was brought into existence with the very idea that it will assume a stewardship role for health education and research in the Tando Muhammad Khan province and through the work of my predecessors.
TUMS has been able to launch multiple academic programs to fulfill that role. Now, I have accepted the challenge to not only nurture and consolidate the current portfolio of programs but also to further expand it according to the needs of our health system. However, I feel that there is an even more important task at hand that is to inculcate the true essence of education into the students of TUMS and to make them find a bigger purpose in life rather than considering their qualifications only as a vehicle for financial success.
And it is perhaps the greatest social influence a university can have, for we too often forget that there is a moral core to what we do.
My vision is to make TUMS a center of knowledge sharing and generation, with the critical study and debate of human values and what it means to be human, at its heart.
I aim to lead the university into an era of innovation and cutting edge scientific inquiry with a truly scientific, social, and economic impact. A place where students are enabled and stimulated to achieve human excellence, and where the ethos and values of quality assurance, transparency, merit, openness, accessibility, participatory approach and gaining public confidence are held supreme.
