1,034 students receive degrees at convocation

LAHORE: The 31st convocation of the Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) was held here on Sunday in which 1,034 students received degrees making it the university’s largest convocation ceremony, to date.According to a press release, Dr Sania Nishtar, Prime Minister of Pakistan’s special assistant and Federal Minister for Poverty Alleviation and Social Protection, was the chief guest at the ceremony attended by students along with their parents, faculty, and staff from each school.Addressing the ceremony, Dr Sania Nishtar said, "Today marks your entry into the practical world. If you want me to summarise it in a nutshell, there are three attributes that you learn over the years which are absolutely critical for success and fulfilment in your practical life. Those attributes are humility, integrity and purposeful learning. Agility is important, so if you combine humility with integrity and the commitment to learn and then adapt accordingly, your chances of success and fulfilment are much higher in practical life.”"If you develop the ability to let go of your ego when it’s time to take decisions in professional life, then the likelihood of delivering better on your aspiration will be much higher," added Dr Nishtar.Speaking to the graduating class of 2019, Dr Arshad Ahmad, Vice Chancellor LUMS said, “What you studied and practiced at LUMS came with hard and fast rules of the game, the dos and don’ts. Your teachers had defined the boundaries and your staff supported your efforts. The next chapter in your life will treat you on its own terms. When the sun comes up tomorrow, some skills will be tested soon and some later. It is my suggestion you find meaning, not in your profession but in your purpose." He added, “The corollary is that there is only one thing in life that you should do in excess and that thing is intentional, purposeful learning. I am sure you will step into the world as ambassadors of learning, and as ambassadors of Pakistan."The convocation ceremony was preceded by the Graduate Night, celebrated on June 29. The year’s high achievers and winners of the National Management Foundation (NMF) Awards, corporate medals, and those placed on the Dean’s Honour List were recognised and honoured at the event.A significant sign of progress in terms of women leaders in the management industry was that the NMF medals for the Management Science, MBA and EMBA programmes were all bagged by women.

The Sept 14 order, issued by eight judges led by senior puisne judge Justice Syed Mansoor Ali Shah, criticised the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) for failing to implement the Supreme Court’s July 12 judgement, which declared the PTI eligible for reserved seats in parliament.
