In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

Dear and honorable family of Ardakan University – esteemed professors, respected staff, and dear students,
Greetings and regards,

The beginning of a new academic year heralds another season of effort and endeavor; a fresh opportunity for scientific, educational, and cultural flourishing at the university as an institution playing a vital role in the development and advancement of our beloved homeland, Iran. The university has always been a center of thought, research, and innovation, faithfully fulfilling its mission to nurture generations of responsible thinkers and specialists. This year, too, we are entrusted with the mission not only to gain knowledge but also to embody sacrifice, dedication, and service, and to carry the banner of national and human values.

The coincidence of the new academic year with Sacred Defense Week provides an occasion to recall and honor the days of epic resistance, bravery, and selflessness of the devoted men whose perseverance and struggle secured today’s independence and strength of the country. Their sacrifices created a lasting glory in the history of Iran.

With the special grace of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance) and under the wise guidance of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (may his shadow be extended), we hope to witness greater dignity, power, and comprehensive progress for the Islamic Republic of Iran in all fields, and remain steadfast in preserving values and continuing the honorable path of the martyrs, veterans, and freed prisoners of war.

While honoring the memory of the late Imam Khomeini (RA), the martyrs of the Sacred Defense, the martyrs of the Resistance, and the heroes of the recent twelve-day battle, I extend my heartfelt congratulations on the start of the academic year to all members of the Ardakan University family and wish my colleagues and dear students health, success, and ever-increasing achievements.

Ahmad Fattahi Ardakani
President of Ardakan University
