Sharif University of Technology Association

Sharif University of Technology Association

Sharif University of Technology Association (or in short SUTA) is the association of Sharif University of Technology Alumni.

SUTA has been created by a group of interested alumni in 2000 and since then it has had a general meeting every other year:

Presidents

*Dr. Fredun Hojabri (from the beginning to 2004)

*Dr. Zahed Sheikh-ol-eslami (2004 to 2006)

*Ms. Fariba Aria (2006 to present)

The 2006 incident in California

In 2006 the general meeting has been scheduled in Santa Clara, California. Many alumni came together from all around the world. Among them there has been also many coming from Iran. Although many of these people obtained US visas to come to the reunion, few days prior to the event, the US administration canceled their visas without appropriate notice. As a result, many of those people have been denied the entry at the airports when they arrived into the American soil and many had spent a night in jail before they could fly back to their country. SUTA's board of directors and legal counselors tried to obtain some explanation for this behavior of the US administration and perhaps an apology with little, if any success.
