As part of Lahore University of Management Sciences 25th anniversary celebration series, 'Lums Day' was organised in Washington DC. Husain Haqqani, Pakistan's Ambassador to the United States in Washington participated in the event on special invitation by Syed Babar Ali, Pro Chancellor.
In his address, Ambassador Haqqani reiterated the importance of educating Pakistan's youth and praised the contribution LUMS had made in this regard. He also emphasised the need for complementing rigorous technical education with strategic thinking, which is what, he said, is needed to resolve Pakistan's complex and inter-connected challenges.
The ambassador's speech was followed by screenings of Lums's 25th Anniversary and National Outreach Programme (NOP) videos. The videos were highly appreciated, in particular NOP Video was praised for highlighting the scholarship initiative taken by LUMS in 2001 to induct talented and financially deserving candidates from across Pakistan.-PR
