This document discusses Philadelphia University's focus on innovation through its Nexus Learning approach and internal and external innovation ecosystems. The Nexus Learning approach emphasizes active, collaborative, real-world learning across disciplines. Key elements of the internal ecosystem include faculty workshops, competitions, commercialization support, and experiential learning programs. External partnerships further support experiential learning opportunities. The vision is for Philadelphia University to be a model for 21st century professional education through signature learning, applied research, strengths-based programs, innovative facilities, and curricular/co-curricular integration.

“ The MA Innovation in Practice at Goldsmiths comes at a poignant time in our cultural and technology and business history. Many of the Innovation writers of Design led, design facilitated or even trans disciplinary Innovation point to this. Innovation, seeing new things in new ways, especially brought into being using creative endeavor while working across a spectrum of contributing disciplines is now agreed to be the way, not only to create new and relevant Ideas, but also to enable them to come into being and be nurtured to a point that they become part of everyday culture.”

Agile and Lean beyond Software Development Projects by Dr. Mohamed Salama Agile ME
Historically, the application of Lean and Agile concepts in the context of managing projects has been associated with the software development projects at large. However, it has been realised, in recent years, that there is a growing interest in extending the proven to be an effective set of tools and techniques to other sectors beyond the software development sector. In this presentation, the aim is discuss the emerging trends within the Lean and Agile practice in the context of project management in a number of disciplines that includes but not limited to; event management; renovation and refurbishment projects; new product development and new service development projects, infra-structure projects, construction, etc... The presentation will reflect on the findings of recent research conducted by the strategic project management research group at Heriot Watt University- Dubai Campus, led by the speaker. In addition, the presentation will tap on the application of the Lean and Agile concepts in change management within various sectors. Finally, this presentation aims to set up the scene for further discussion through the scheduled discussion panel that will follow; with the prime objective to identify means and methods to narrow the perceived gap between academia and practice within the Lean and Agile methodology as applied to projects in carious sectors.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Editor's Notes
In 2007 we launched an aggressive Strategic Planning process that started with a simple but compelling vision.Philadelphia University is the model for professional university education.
It is clear that since our founding we have been focused on innovation.
When entrepreneurs match their personal talents, skills and aspirations to society’s needs they create value. Our graduates take on the entrepreneurial DNA of this place. They learn to identify problems that need solving, develop the best solutions and go on to implement them, creating value wherever they go.
The planning process resulted in the development of seven key initiatives that are helping us to realize our vision. From these initiatives and the history of Philadelphia University, we began to develop our brand platform and our story.
It is about helping our graduates to be experts in their field of choice and to have a broad understanding across disciplines. It is what will help them to be leaders at every level of their careers.
