Aamir Ehsan, MD
President DOGANA 2025

Dear Dowites and Friends,

With the deepest humility and honor, I step into this role as your servant leader, entrusted with the privilege of representing the most prestigious and largest alumni association, DOGANA. This moment is not just a personal milestone but a heartfelt commitment to our shared values, aspirations, and the enduring legacy of our alma mater.

Being a Dowite is not merely an affiliation, it’s an identity rooted in excellence, compassion, and the drive to make a meaningful difference. As I assume this responsibility, my focus is clear and unwavering: Dow, Dowites, and DOGANA (D³). Together, we will honor our past, embrace the present, and chart a future filled with opportunities for all.

Presidential Initiatives: Leading Together into a Brighter Future

In collaboration with the brilliant minds and passionate hearts of our alumni, I am committed to advancing initiatives that resonate with our mission and values. Here is what we aim to achieve together:

• Building a Digital Pathology Infrastructure
  • Recognizing the vital need of Dow University and its patients, and at the request of Prof. Muhammad Saeed Quraishy, Vice Chancellor, Dow University of Health Sciences, we will embark on creating a cutting-edge digital pathology infrastructure. This initiative will not only elevate patient care but also position Dow as a leader in medical innovation, inspiring future generations of physicians.
• Reinvigorating DOGANA’s Presence at Dow
  • Dow is where our journey began, and it is imperative to strengthen our ties with our alma mater. We will re-establish and empower a vibrant DOGANA office at Dow to enhance communication, collaboration, and support between the alumni community and the institution.
• Direct Engagement with Student Societies
  • Our future leaders deserve our guidance and encouragement. By actively engaging with Dow’s student societies, we will foster mentorship, provide resources, and nurture the next generation of healthcare pioneers.
• Launching the Dow Entrepreneurs Network (DEN) Forum
  • Entrepreneurship is a powerful tool for change. We will launch the Dow Entrepreneurs Network Forum to connect innovators within our alumni network, create mentorship opportunities, and support ventures that drive impact both within and beyond the medical field.
• Strengthening Academic Expertise in North America
  • The Dowite diaspora in North America represents an unparalleled reservoir of knowledge and experience. By aligning our academic expertise, we will create collaborative platforms, mentorship programs, and academic initiatives that showcase the strength of our alumni and enrich the global Dow community.

A Shared Call to Action: Together, We Can Do More

DOGANA has always been a beacon of unity, strength, and service. But the heights we aim for cannot be reached without your support, ideas, and involvement. Whether it’s through mentorship, sharing expertise, or contributing to initiatives, every Dowite has a role to play in shaping our shared future.

I urge you to join hands with me and our diverse 2025 Central Council and with one another to uplift our alumni network and ensure that DOGANA reaches new heights of excellence. Let’s not only inspire each other but also serve as an inspiration to the world, showing what a united community can accomplish.

As your servant leader, my door—and my heart—is always open to you. Your voices, concerns, and aspirations matter deeply to me, and I am here to listen, collaborate, and act. Together, let’s make a difference for Dow, for Dowites, and for DOGANA.

You can always reach me at (210) 317-3779. I am just a phone call away, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your trust, your passion, and your unwavering commitment to our alma mater. I am excited about the journey ahead and the milestones we will achieve together.

With profound gratitude and dedication,

Aamir Ehsan, MD
