Dear Friend,
As Salaam ‘Alaykum.
As this year comes to a close, it is a time for reflection, not just on what we all have done in the past year, but especially on what we should aspire to do in the coming year.
At Zaytuna, we are looking forward to our most important and crucial year so far, as we plan to welcome the first freshman class of America’s first Muslim college, insha’Allah. Many eyes will be upon us as we launch this historic project. We need your prayers—and your financial support—to ensure that the coming year is our best yet.
The past year has been filled with a number of noteworthy changes, some significant milestones and many bright spots for the future of the College. We created a strong Management Committee that is working diligently with the staff to develop and implement the operational infrastructure for the College. We have had an extremely successful second year of the Summer Arabic Intensive. And we finalized our majors and curriculum for the Bachelor’s degree program, and opened up applications for Fall 2010.
Looking ahead to 2010, we have a significant amount of work to get done before classes begin in Fall—starting the accreditation process, investing in an expanded Summer Arabic Intensive, selecting our first freshman class, hiring top-notch faculty, and raising funds for operations, property acquisition and endowment.
That is why we are reaching out to all of you. As you prepare to make your year-end donations, please consider doing your part to launch the first accredited Muslim college in America. To ensure your donation is counted as a 2009 tax deduction, please make your online donation now or mail us your check before December 31.
Thank you for your continued support and for being part of this great endeavor.
With best wishes for the coming year,
Omar Nawaz
VP for Operations
