It was then only that I realised that, you are indeed an  excellent mentor, a great academician, an intelligent scientist and a distinguished leader with great leadership abilities. This makes me contended that the BGSBU is in the right hands and I am sure th.at your administrative approach and leadership qualities will help the university to climb the new heights of success.
