Hello!
Welcome to LUMS, SDSB class of 2023! It is a pleasure to meet you and I hope that all of you will have an amazing experience in your time here at LUMS. Having spent two years here, I can assure you that every day here is an opportunity for you not only to grow academically, but also grow personally because, as you will experience it yourself, there are many challenges and opportunities that you will encounter whilst studying here.
Before LUMS, I completed by O Level and A Level from Beaconhouse Margalla Campus in Islamabad. Originating from a pure science background, I was initially unsure of what I wanted to do. However, attending an event at LUMS in 2016 gave me a pretty good idea that this was the place I wanted to be spend my next four years at! The switch to a completely different field, however, was quite difficult. The key to a successful transition, in my opinion, is always to have faith in your abilities and to not be hesitant to ask for help. As students, you will realize that being proactive in your matters will always benefit you, so always try to take the initiative whether it is in studies or extra circulars.
Generally, I would say to all of you that sometimes being a university student takes its toll on you and having experienced it personally myself, I feel that it is important to know that health-both mental and physical- is something that you should never compromise on. It is very important for you to remember that your foremost priority is yourself and taking care of yourself is something that go a long way in helping you flourish here at LUMS
Lastly, I would like to say that I am always available for help in any matter, so do not hesitate to contact me! I hope you all have a great time here and I wish you the best of luck.
