The MDA Chairman Dr. Asim Safdar was invited to the Imperial College Islamic Society Freshers Dinner on 16th October 2008.  Dr. Safdar, who is keen to see Muslim partnerships, approved MDA sponsorship of this event which helped to subsidise the dinner for students at the college. Other guests included Dr Talib Mearza, MDA Treasurer and Rev Andrew Wilson, the College's chaplain.

Dr Safdar said he was proud of the achievements being made by Imperial's Muslim students and encouraged them to work to their best abilities. He recounted how he was once in their position and encouraged them to work to their best ability and make the most of their university days after which he showed a 10-minute Powerpoint presentation showcasing the MDA's work and achievements.

Dr Safdar also spoke with the chaplain to show support for the campaign to expand our prayer room in the University. I am pleased to convey on behalf of the 250 students that turned up, that we are very grateful for you taking time out of your busy schedule to encourage us and motivate us to achieve highly and thank you for presenting the MDA in a very positive light.
