Message from The Vice Chancellor
It is my privilege and honor to lead Rawalpindi Women University. Rawalpindi Women University has a glorious tradition of academic excellence from the time of its inception as a college. I feel awed at the responsibility and simultaneously excited to work with the ambitious young and experienced faculty of RWU, with a shared vision and mission to raise the stature of this budding university as a significant actor in this digitally networked and knowledge-based economy.
We are passing through unprecedented times and face multidimensional challenges in the period of transition. RWU seeks to redefine its relationship with the broader community of Pakistani Universities, open new vistas of knowledge and advanced skills, and promote a research culture which is productive, progressive and aligned with national and international benchmarks. The Covid-19 pandemic has worked as an impetus for higher education to explore the hitherto less travelled road of online education. The administration and teaching faculty at RWU have shown a remarkable readiness to accept the challenge by launching its indigenously developed Learning Management System (LMS) and organizing training workshops for online readiness to ensure the smooth and continuous dissemination of knowledge, in accordance with the academic calendar. I ensure my full support to the faculty and staff of RWU in achieving excellence in online teaching and coordination with students, since a student centered approach has always been my desire and goal.
RWU aims to produce young professionals in leading fields of Arts and Humanities, Sciences, Social Sciences, IT/Computer Science and Business and Administrative Sciences. It is also the house of one of the oldest Schools of Art and Design in Pakistan. RWU promises a robust and diverse learning culture, skilled based/hands-on experience with equally vital training in Sports and Co-curricular activities. RWU envisions the empowerment and grooming of young girls of the region. The aim is to provide them with an environment which will support their academic growth for their future professional development with the ever living national consciousness and deep-rooted love for moral and human values.
Women are the most important human resource of our country and only the right decisions at the right moment will play a vital role in raising Pakistan to new heights. This is what I aim for the women of RWU. I stand beside them, ready to offer the best of my abilities and expertise for their success.
