Once again, our Friends of Forman guests appreciated the many courtesies extended to them across the campus throughout their visit. One special highlight was a Founder’s Day visit to the grave of Rev. Charles Forman situated outside the Old City.
Other recent visitors include Parvez Samuel Dean from Asheville (North Carolina) who taught English and Mass Communication at Forman from 1968 until 1981 and then again from 2003 to 2010; his former students included both Dr. Kamal and Dr. Sufian.
Parvez mentioned that he had grown up on the Gordon College campus in Rawalpindi when Dr. Robert Tebbe headed the Chemistry Department. In addition, he recalled his contributions to basketball at Forman while also noting that this was his first visit to Forman since 2010, having served as Associate Vice Rector for Academic Affairs under Dr. Dubash during 2007-2010.
Often our visitors stay at the Christy Munir Guesthouse, next to the Forman Botanical Gardens. Yousaf Benjamin and Fayyaz Raza representing Gideon’s International dropped by the Rector’s office on March 21 to request that Gideon Bibles in both English and Urdu be placed in each of our 10 guesthouse rooms, in case future visitors request them.
