Navruz Greetings from the AUT Rector and President

Dear AUT Community,

As we welcome Navruz, we celebrate not only the arrival of spring but also the promise of new beginnings. This season reminds us of renewal, resilience, and the spirit of growth—values that are at the heart of AUT.

Just as nature awakens with fresh energy, our university is also embarking on an exciting journey. As a newly established institution powered by Arizona State University, AUT is a place where innovation thrives, learning knows no limits, and ambition turns into reality. Every one of you—students, faculty, and staff—is part of this journey, shaping the future with your passion, ideas, and dedication.

Novruz is a time to reflect on what we have achieved and look forward with optimism to what lies ahead. May this season bring you inspiration, success, and the courage to embrace new opportunities.

We wish you and your loved ones a joyful and prosperous Navruz!
