DATED OCTOBER 12, 2020
MESSAGE FROM OUR CHANCELLOR

It has been a little over six months since we had in person classes at AIUWA. While the online classes have been held as scheduled, the challenges have been enormous. Going online and remote has taught us much over the last few months. It has validated the value of the presence of a faculty in the classroom.

I am delighted to inform you that, as per directives received from Ministry of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology, the in person classes can begin at the University campuses beginning October 14, 2020. I look forward to in-person classes.

As we prepare to start the classes, I take this opportunity to remind all faculty, staff and students that Covid 19 has mandated new norms which should be adhered to in order to prevent infections. Ministry of Health has issued measures to be followed rigorously, which includes wearing mask at all times, maintain social distancing and practicing good hygiene while on the campus.

The uncertainly in this situation will certainly continue into the foreseeable future, but I am committed to providing you with the clearest path forward that puts our students first while maintaining the health and safety of our whole community.

Stay Safe. Stay Healthy.

DINESH SHUKLA
