Today we celebrate the Classes of 2020 and 2021, and everything they have accomplished. Here’s what our graduates have to say.
"We have had our fair share of Zoom memories and endless inside jokes, but one of our fondest memories is trying to get together in LUMS for a single, socially-distanced group picture.
This one single picture stands for the hundreds we missed due to COVID-19 and the consequent online senior year, but we wouldn't trade it for the world. Here's to hoping we get to take more pictures and make more memories in years to come."
"Studying at LUMS not only gave me memories to last a lifetime, but it also gave me an incomparable experience. It is because of LUMS and its people that I am who I am today. It’s a time I will never ever forget."
"There is a place for everyone at LUMS. We really grew up here - it took us in as teenagers, and made sure we were ready to face the world as young adults, 4 years later.
As we embark on our individual journeys and life takes us all across the world, I know that wherever we go, we will be held together by our love and appreciation for all that this university has given us. "
"I've been an avid MUNer since high school and I've been to plenty of international and high-profile conferences, but to get the opportunity to interact with the UN Secretary General (UNSG) first-hand is something I never thought I'd get the chance to experience. Here, I'm standing holding a bird (for the first time in my life, mind you) to release at the arrival of the UNSG. This meeting was an incredible experience."
"Be it academically or socially, LUMS has really pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to blossom into a better version of myself. I would never be where I am today without it. "
"For many of us, the learning experience at LUMS has had an impact beyond the classroom to core life skills which today enable us to seek new challenges, opportunities and conquer our full potential. My time spent at LUMS has been nothing short of a catalyst for growth."
"This picture was from one of the few colour days that the Class of 2021 got to experience. I have known these people since my first day at LUMS, and it feels like an honour to graduate alongside them."
"This is a memory from the MBA 2021 Welcome Ceremony; back when we had fresh faces and zero ideas about the incoming barrage of case studies!"
"In this picture, the sun is shining on our beaming smiles as Team Pakistan poses after winning the Best Delegate Award at Model United Nations Turkey 2020."
"LUMS is a multicultural university in a diverse, friendly and vibrant city that suits everyone. These were the best four years of my life! The opportunities I had, the things I got to do and the time I spent with my friends were the best.
LUMS is not just a university, it’s a whole experience."
"LUMS really did change my life. Four years is a very long time, but it’s really not when you’re at a place like LUMS. It keeps you on your toes, and makes sure you keep getting pushed and challenged.
It’s the little things…from having chai in the library lawn on a sleepy Sunday afternoon, or feeding the cats before your 9 am class to Farooq bhai at PDC giving you a smile and a salaam before handing you your change to the hustle and bustle of the IST labs. Faculty that genuinely cares and pushes you to do better. People who guide you, friends who leave a mark on you for life, coffee partners, study buddies, and so on. All of these things, and so many more make LUMS, LUMS!"
"I look at these pictures now and reminisce over the many valuable memories that LUMS has given us over our past 4 years. It has been an unbelievable ride."
“I would not have been able to enjoy my MBA journey without my best friend’s support and pampering. From crashing the dorms, to exchanging laptops and having spa dates, Maryam has made my time at LUMS truly memorable and I’m glad we get to graduate from the same institution together after 9 years.”
It has been two years since I was an undergrad at LUMS. But in those years, I never once stopped reminiscing about my life at university.
LUMS provided us with a safe space to be open about our thoughts and ideas. We were encouraged to speak up and find ourselves. I am glad I got the chance to experience so many new things at university.
With the ongoing pandemic and all my batchmates moving on to different things, I never thought we would all be in the same place again…our second home!
"By Allah's will and help, I believed I could, so I did. This picture is from when I was recognised for being on the Dean’s Honour List. LUMS really values their students’ achievements. I am going to miss it."
"LUMS gave me the opportunity to fulfil my potential. The rigorous coursework made me develop a strong sense of discipline and determination that I have carried into my professional life today. I’ve made several lifelong friendships along the way."
