I was back in office yesterday to find out a very pleasant development for ISDEV. A total of 22 new Master of Islamic Development Management (MISDEV) students, choosen from out of more than 30 applicants, have registered for this 2011-2012 Academic Session.

They were together with present MISDEV and other ISDEV PhD students at a special Welcoming Session held for them yesterday, which began immediately after a PhD Proposal presentation by Mohd Shahruddin Shakrani and ended with a lunch ceremony of Eid-ul-Fitr. The Conference Room of the School of Social Sciences where the occasions were held was fully packed. With a total of about 100 ISDEV fraternity now, I need to think of a larger suitable meeting rooms for ISDEV regular activities such as the Weekly Tuesday Study Session and the Monthly Graduate Supervision. May Allah SWT provides us with such a necessity.
