LUMS Students Talk Changes and Challenges in the Time of Corona

They had no way of knowing that in a matter of weeks, gathering in a public space without a face mask or a cautious distance would become unthinkable.

He wanted a business school to be set up modelled “somewhat on the lines of Harvard Business School, tailor-made to the needs of Pakistan.”

LUMS Community Comes Together to Support Those in Need Amidst Pandemic
Like much of the world, the COVID-19 lockdown has brought the entire country to a halt.

LUMS is no longer buzzing with students, the classrooms are empty and the ‘khokha’ is closed. What still exists though, is the spirit of solidarity and the drive to help each other get through these tough times.
