Welcome to the second issue of The G-Post , a quarterly newsletter of Galgotias

University. After the successful launch of our

first issue in January 2012, it undeniably

excites us to stay all geared up to bring to

you the second edition which will serve as a

knowledge capsule that would recharge your

mind.

Technology and Creative Arts do not run

transverse to each other in the present world. Steve Jobs, former

CEO of Apple Inc., once said, Apple has always been at the intersec-

tion of technology and liberal arts. And that, many people think, is

the single greatest factor differentiating Apple from its competitors.

The technology with which Apple created products such as iPad,

iPod, Mac and the concepts that had gone behind Genius Bars, WWDC, etc. were all driven by focusing on what resonates with

humans.

This is precisely the reason with publication of this newsletter that

is a humble endeavor on our part to make people aware and known

with all probity and sincerity about the various activities we and our

students are engaged in, also gives space to express creative abilities

of our students and faculty members. Imagination and creativity

also play a vital role in identifying areas where technological

developments could bring maximum benefits to the society and

bridge the huge gap that exists between the haves and the

have-nots. It is great therefore that our students are getting trained

early in their career in blending together creative arts and

technology in their mind.

The second issue is coming out with more strength and more

support from the students and my colleagues. I congratulate all

those whose efforts have helped produce the current issue of The G-

Post and wish happy reading.
