AKU’s most recent graduating class will be applauded for their academic achievements and for continuing a long-standing tradition of pursuing educational excellence.
Graduands will celebrate together, marking their achievements via in-person ceremonies at each campus, as well-wishers and the AKU community around the world join via livestream.
Syed Murad Ali Shah, Chief Minister of Sindh will deliver remarks in his capacity as Chief Guest.
On the following day, some of AKU’s up and coming researchers will present their cutting-edge work at an event entitled “The tipping point: A research showcase,” which will also be broadcast live.
For four decades now, the University has aimed to improve quality of life in the developing world and beyond through world-class teaching, research, and healthcare delivery. It also empowers women and the disadvantaged, builds support for pluralism, and collaborates with local partners and world-renowned organisations to achieve shared goals.
In an address at the 2003 Convocation, Hazar Imam laid out his aspiration that AKU should “be on the frontiers of scientific and humanistic knowledge, radiating intelligence and confidence, research and graduates, into flourishing economies and progressive legal and political systems.”
Today, the University educates students for local and global leadership, generates new knowledge to solve problems that affect millions of people, and raises standards and aspirations in the countries in which it works.
