the Alumni Relations Office
Dear Alumni, The LUMS Alumni Annual is here again, with news from LUMS as well as your fellow alumni. This year’s class notes again speak of achievements and new efforts by you all despite the political upheaval in the country as well as the erratic economics of the world in general. The LUMS alumni community is now a very strong professional network the world over with numerous and varied experiences. Therefore, along with various interviews and articles, we have incorporated this year the alumni perspective of the workplace. We thought that you all can relate to what these alumni have to say about the real work environment. The year 2008 has taken LUMS through quite a few changes but one thing that stays constant is the alumni bond with the university. The Homecoming in December 2007 saw a huge audience. Similarly the chapter reunions in 2008 not only had heavy alumni participation but were also supported by volunteer alumni in terms of organization. The Islamabad Reunion was hosted by an alumnus at his own restaurant. The Alumni philanthropic efforts continue with financial contributions from various classes as well as individuals. Your ideas, feedback for improvements in systems and your participation in the LUMS projects and researches gives all these endeavors remarkable strength. We thank you all who took the time out to compile the class notes or to write articles. Like every year, this year’s issue has also been structured through your ideas and written contributions. We look forward to your feedback on Alumni Annual 2008 as well as your ideas for the next year’s issue Regards, Amna Arshad Ali Alumni Relations Office

Message Dear Alumni,
The year 2008 sees the joining of the first batch of School of Science and Engineering, a school that aspires to provide science & engineering education that our country has not previously known. The Suleman Dawood School of Business and the School of Humanities, Social Sciences and Law are progressing with more diverse educational programmes coming up every year. The National Outreach Programme is continuing to be a source of providing quality education to talent from the underprivileged areas of the country. Like every year we hear of our Alumni reaching greater heights in their professional journeys. The achievements of our Alumni are always a source of pride for us and of course we hope that the progress of your University will be an inspiration to you. You, being Alumni are the most important stakeholders in LUMS as you, more than anyone else, can realize all what we stand for and all that we aspire for. We therefore, look towards your active involvement in the form of ideas as well as valuable feedback. I wish you another year of professional and personal achievement. Syed Babar Ali

Lahore University of Management Sciences has been enriched by the commitment and dedication of many people, and it is now ready to become a source of national renewal and international leadership. As we develop and implement a vision for LUMS in the 21st century, we ask alumni to help fulfill the promise inscribed in the famous LUMS insignia, “prepared for life.” You are uniquely qualified to contribute to the envisioned strengthening of this wonderful university and for improving the LUMS educational experience as a preparation for life. It is my aspiration that LUMS alumni enjoy a lifetime of networking, learning, and leadership by staying connected with their alma mater. We hope to engage you more than ever before in creating the next vision of this university. A first step towards this goal has been the formation of a dedicated office under the leadership of a very capable LUMS alumnus, Sheikh Ali Hussain, who will spearhead this renewed commitment to reach out to our alumni. I ask you to reflect on my thoughts below and suggest any new ways in which you may be able to help LUMS attain new heights. You are a source of strength and symbol of success for LUMS and I hope that we can continue to count on your unwavering support as we begin to shape LUMS as a world class university. Alumni will be vital in developing a 21st century vision for LUMS by
Joining in the Focalpoint Forum programs to create a vision for the future Identifying opportunities for changes that will benefit students Participating in continuing education, mentoring students, and joining in activities such as university events, alumni lectures and alumni outreach Identifying corporate sponsors and partnership opportunities for LUMS Contributing funds for scholarships, awards and general operating money
Making visible their identity as LUMS alumni in their professional, civic and personal lives
For the past 26 years, I have been a professor of civil engineering, an associate dean of engineering, a researcher, and the sponsor of new initiatives in business and social entrepreneurship at one of America’s leading research universities, Rice University, in Houston, Texas. Recently I have been active in bringing together scientists, engineers, and social scientists in developing new approaches to earthquake risk mitigation in Pakistan and South Asia. I am honored and delighted to have been chosen to lead LUMS, and I deeply cherish the opportunity to contribute to higher education in the country of my birth. Dialog and discussion are crucial to achieving our goals, and alumni must have an important voice. I invite you to contribute to this exciting dialog and look forward with great expectation to your active involvement in the advancement of your alma mater.

“I am a local boy,” says Dr. Shaukat Ali Brah with unmistakable pride and a broad smile. The present Dean of Suleman Dawood School of Business started his academic career in Lahore - from Garrison School and Government College to the University of Engineering & Technology as a student of Mechanical Engineering. With a host of fond memories and a solid foundation in place - courtesy some of the best institutes in the country - Dr. Brah set the stage for his later successes.
for a special issue of International Journal of Service Industry Management, served as an Associate Editor for Asian Case Research Journal for over five years until recently, and is a member of the editorial board of Decision Sciences Journal. To further strengthen his portfolio, there are numerous refereed papers, case studies, conference papers, etc, that Dr. Brah has contributed to. What’s more, since July 2007 he has been spending his days and often late evenings at LUMS as the Dean of SDSB.
Following his scholastic ambitions, he departed to the US to add the much-coveted title of

well as professional lives. Moving up the academic success ladder at NUS with his refreshing demeanour and positive attitude, Dr. Shaukat Brah also kept an active interest in executive education, teaching in a broad range of open and customized executive programmes for industry leaders like, Samsung Asia, Indah Kiat Pulp and Paper Corporation and Toshiba Asia, etc. As a mature academic, he enthused a new life into the Business School with his progressive policies and a whole new set of goals…not just for the students, but also for the School.
Dr. Shaukat Ali Brah Dean of SDSB
‘Doctor of Philosophy’ before his name. He completed his PhD from the University of Houston, where he was given the opportunity to work on a research project on NASA’s Space Shuttle Programme.
served LUMS as an Assistant Professor for two years in the late 80s and early 90s. At that time, the school was still in the process of establishing itself and hence, there was not much emphasis on research.
“I was very fortunate to get that kind of exposure and experience,” says Dr. Brah, “as it opened many doors for me.”
“The motto at the time,” recalls the Dean, “was ‘Businessman’s Business School.’ “Being more research-oriented, I was looking for something more in that direction.”
To name just a handful of some such opportunities: He spent 16 years as a faculty member in the National University of Singapore’s Business School – consistently ranked one of the top three schools in Asia and among the top ten outside North America. He was the Production Editor of Asia Pacific Journal of Operational Research for a number of years, worked as a guest Editor
Driven by his ambition as a scholar, he eventually decided to leave LUMS with a heavy heart and accepted a position as a faculty member at the NUS Business School. Though not before getting married! Six months into the marriage and the young couple was en route to Singapore, ready for exciting new challenges, both in their personal as
“I believe that in order to make your mark, it is important to bear in mind the four ‘Rs’ as the main ingredients of success– Rigour, Relevance, Reward and Recognition,” Dr. Brah enumerates with gusto. Elaborating on each, he states, “Rigour or discipline and hard work is absolutely the most essential, for it instils in the students the stamina to take on difficult challenges and deal with them unfazed in the real world. Then comes relevance, it is imperative that the institute provides the kind of education to its students, which reflects the environment the students are meant to enter as professionals. Without Relevance in coursework, there is not much merit in the education. From the point of view of the students,
a relevant education enhances, in fact,confirms their success as professionals, as they are able to add more value to the industry with their hands-on knowledge. As for Reward - the education provided should have the merit to groom well-rounded individuals who become an asset to the institute’s name and integrity. On the other hand, the students would be rewarded for their hard work with success in the real world. Finally, there is the final R – Recognition. It is the ‘WOW factor’ inspired in others that is the real proof of recognition for both, the institute and the student.” Incidentally, the four Rs have now found a new home in LUMS, along with several initiatives that the new Dean has introduced. His pride in his work and his unabated enthusiasm is infectious. Perhaps that is what is generating a whole lot of energy in the Business School these days with a flurry of activities all around. There is a new building for SDSB in the offing, expected to be occupied and fully functional by December 2009, while structural changes within the administration are keeping everyone on their toes. “I have just one goal,” declares the Dean, “and that is to make SDSB an internationally recognized school of global standing.” Considering the distinguished history that LUMS enjoys, he has complete faith that the university will achieve this goal sooner than anticipated. “In 22 years, LUMS is probably the only university that has established itself as the best in the country and one of the top institutes in the region,” he states indulgently, “In such a short span, it has grown considerably with 3 schools already in place and
maybe more on the way. It is truly dynamic; in fact, I really think that there is no other place like LUMS.” According to him, LUMS is now moving from the initial, creative phase, which he describes as being “entrepreneurial” to a more mature stage that will allow for the building of a sound structure. Presently, the university follows a mix of both, North American and British models, but the Dean is in favour of implementing the former in its entirety. Being a true democrat at heart, he claims, “My task is to introduce policies, but it’s up to my team to approve
or disapprove. There is no moving forward without that.” Encouraging his colleagues, faculty and staff members alike, in the decision-making process through participation, he aims to create an environment of mutual trust and gratification. He has identified a few things that need fine tuning in the administrative departments, like more specialized training for areas like Corporate Communications and Advertising, but on the whole the new Dean is appreciative of the staff and considers them to be “very skilled and a great support” to the university.
One aspect that the Dean especially feels strongly about is research and is enthusiastic about the fact that there is considerably more emphasis on it in this second, more mature phase of LUMS. In keeping with the former Vice Chancellor, Dr. Syed Zahoor Hassan’s vision of making LUMS a leading research institute, Dr. Brah is designing definitive policies for SDSB with his team of esteemed faculty members to realize this goal. Regarding plans for the future, he states that at present the main
focus is on inducting more students for the undergraduate as well as postgraduate programmes. “The more competitive students we have, the more SDSB will flourish,” he beams. He believes in the uninhibited creative energy of the young students as being the driving force behind any prominent educational institute. “If you get the cream of the crop and nurture them without restraint, then you are bound to get the best results. I follow this philosophy and often tell my stu-
dents that I’m not here to put road blocks in front of their ambition and energy, for it is this energy that will take the school forward.” In the same vein, moving from the present and potential students to the former ones, he applauds the alumni for their successes and for making SDSB and indeed LUMS proud. “We are proud of the alumni,” he says, “and hope they are proud of their alma mater and that they keep giving their valuable time, energy and contributions as always.”
"*#( (( LUMS School of Science and Engineering (SSE) aims to provide a world-class education to the best students in Pakistan, independent of their financial background. Starting fall 2008, SSE will be the first private research school for science and engineering in Pakistan, providing an environment comparable to the best research universities of the world. SSE aims to (i) set a new standard for science and engineering education in Pakistan, (ii) produce technically competent graduates and innovative problem-solvers, (iii) create useful knowledge that can help address pressing local and global issues, and (iv) provide an opportunity to students from less-privileged backgrounds who would otherwise have little chance of obtaining a world-class education. It takes five things to create a world-class research school: a rigorous well-designed curriculum, excellent research-active faculty, world-class infrastructure, rigorous but need-blind admissions process and very strong financial foundations. SSE’s curriculum is as rigorous as that at the world's best universities. It has recruited some of the best available faculty, trained at places like MIT, Caltech,
A Doorway to
Opportunity
Berkeley, Stanford, Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, Princeton, Imperial and Yale. Its infrastructure and laboratories have been designed using global best practices. It has created an admissions process modeled on the best research universities; and it is raising resources to build a sustainable science and engineering research infrastructure, as well as to offer truly need-blind admissions. SSE is premised on a hope; that by getting the best minds of Pakistan and providing them with world-class education, it can influence the destiny of this nation. SSE hopes that its graduates will be change-agents who will contribute to the frontiers of knowledge and transform life as we know it. The school is committed to locating the best students in Pakistan from every section of society and from every socioeconomic background. As admission to SSE is need-blind, applicants are admitted based on their academic qualification without regard to their financial circumstances. If a student is admitted and the Financial Aid Committee determines that he/she cannot afford to pay, a customized financial aid package is created to enable that student to complete her/his education. SSE’s inaugural admissions cycle has received an overwhelming response with around 7500 students applying for 200 seats. Because of the limited opportunities in quality science and engineering education, and because of SSE’s need-blind admissions pol-
icy, the demographics of this extremely competitive applicant pool includes people from widely varying backgrounds and financial circumstances. The final admitted students are some of the best in Pakistan. The quality of their interviews has been excellent and their performance on the SSE Admissions Test, impressive. Around 70-80% of the admitted students have indicated a need for financial aid. In keeping with its promise of need blind admissions, SSE has been exceedingly careful to make sure no one who was admitted and deserved financial aid has been denied assistance. Though the SSE has successfully catered to the financial needs of its first batch, there is a pressing need to raise funds for future batches so that the promise of need-blind admissions is honored. For this purpose the school is trying to establish an endowment for scholarships. Current SSE tuition is set at approximately 60% of what it costs the school to educate a student, so in a sense all students receive a significant subsidy. However, for less-privileged students, that subsidy is not enough. The school needs to fund their entire education. In this endeavor SSE needs societal, governmental and corporate support to build a large scholarship endowment, and to offer scholarships which would have reasonable certainty of continuity. Alumni support is essential to SSE’s vision of building a suc-
cessful research school in Pakistan. By contributing to this endowment fund you have the chance to touch a life and make a difference for the better. By investing in the future of these children you are essentially investing in the future of Pakistan, helping make SSE a Doorway to Opportunity which will allow our deserving youth to take our country forward.

By Uzair Haroon Moosa BSc 2004 After graduating from LUMS, I had the opportunity to spend a year at the Cisco Sales Associate Program (SAP), a year long training program in Amsterdam where candidates were imparted with sales and technical knowledge after which they were sent back to their home countries. The best way to describe this experience would be to walk you through a typical day. 6:00 am: “Trinnnng!!! Triinnnggg!!! Triiiiiinngggg!!!!” Damn I hate these alarm clocks. 6:15 am: I still hate these alarm clocks. 6:30 am: I get out of bed despite hating these alarm clocks. 7:30 am: I walk out of the house and prepare myself for the challenging day that would begin at 8:30 am sharp. I look at my watch and realize that the challenge might be beginning a little earlier; in order to catch the last tram to reach work on time I would have to cover the 10 minute walk to the tram station in just 5 minutes. What a start to the day! 8:27 am: I arrive at the office with three minutes to spare. Just enough time to grab a quick cup of hot warm cappuccino. I think about the week that lies ahead. We have an IT Network Troubleshooting exam, a product presentation to give and a commit meeting with the sales team all in the space of a mere 5 days. I take a deep breath and mutter, “It is going to be a typical week at Cisco.” 8:30 am: The day begins. Our managers, Chris and Jochen walk in and greet us. We are to begin the day with an impromptu hot spot role play exercise. Our managers lower the projector and we have five minutes to read through a scenario. “Oh my God, it is about ISDN and Frame Relay connections, my weakest topics” The managers are eyeing the room to pick one out of the 30 of us. They look around the room, their eyes freeze on me. I put on the most innocent look I can but it seems as if a miracle is far away. I walk up to the front of the room. My task is to obtain additional customer requirements, and based on these requirements
come up with a customized Cisco solution all within the space of 20 minutes. The role of the customer will be played by the audience. I look at my audience; 29 exceptionally motivated Engineers, 3 highly experienced managers and 2 well qualified technical trainers. It is not going to be an easy task. As I present the Cisco solution, I am constantly questioned as to why I have chosen a particular product family,, why the particular product within that family, what value added features does this product have which competition does not provide. With the wide portfolio of products that Cisco offers, the dynamically changing nature of the technology market and the technical adeptness of my audience I have to leverage my technical and soft skills to the best of my abilities. Chris, our manager calls, “Time!” and we move into the feed back session. Feedback from 34 people; 34 people who have been making detailed notes on how I have conducted myself during the role play, 34 people representing 16 different countries - each bringing a unique perspective on the role play, 34 people who really want to see me grow!!! I pick up my notebook and start making notes of the constructive feedback that I am receiving. I marvel at the ability of my colleagues who are able to pick even very minute details, those details that would enable me, a good presenter, to become an effective presenter. 9:00 am: Technical training starts. Today, we are covering the troubleshooting course material. Tom, our technical trainer is explaining the Cisco best practices to troubleshoot a problem. “It is always good to isolate a network problem into a particular OSI layer before applying either the topdown, bottom-up or divide and conquer approach.” he explains. 12:00 pm: Lunch break. I just grab a quick salad and join my colleagues at the lunch table. I look around and notice that not two people at my table are from the same country. Such cultural variety is very enriching. 1:00 pm: Back in class and ready to do some of my own trouble shooting 5:30 pm: Still deeply involved in the trouble shooting exercises. Hmm…the access router can ping the core router. However, a telnet to the core router fails. The network, data link and physical layer must be working fine. I decide to apply the top down approach to troubleshoot the network problem further. 6:30 pm: I pack up and leave for home. The walk to the tram station is really nice. I can feel the spring wind blow gently on my face and at this point in time it makes me forget about all other worries that I have. 8:00: Have just had a nice dinner of chicken curry with some freshly baked chapatti. That should give me enough energy to start studying! 11:00: Decide to call it a day. Reflect back on the previous 5 months. I could have never imagined that my skill set would improve this drastically in such a short time span. At Cisco, there was guidance at each step – guidance to help us overcome our weaknesses; guidance allowing us to grow and yet be ourselves; guidance that served to maintain the uniqueness that makes us who we are. I look at the future that lay ahead. I had come a long way, but the journey was far from over. At Cisco, I learned that it is about continuous improvement. There is no denying that overwhelming challenges lay ahead – yet the resources available to overcome those challenges congruent. It is up to each individual how he/she decides to utilize the unprecedented resources at his/her disposal in overcoming those challenges.
The
Ayesha Ali Khan and Nabeeha Qazi BSc 2007
Graduation from one’s Alma Mater marks the end of one’s infant years and begins a new chapter in their lives. For many, this brings an unraveling of their dreams. For us, it meant making the giant leap into the corporate pool. From time in memorial, people have dreamt of the glorified corporate world. It is a land of opportunity. It is where young guns like us are meant to rise to the occasion and take on the corporations for all they’ve got. So with high hopes, we burst into the corporate arena. Yes indeed, this corporate world was ‘way cooler’ than those dorky deputy student years.
Previously we had gaped in awe at the lavish lifestyle which had become a code of young budding executives. Now we were proud members of the same clan we had so idolized. Life was indeed good. We were attending high profile meetings. We formulated strategic business growth models. We had our gourmet breakfast meetings. We had our mobiles configured to receive critical emails at any time of the day. We were right up there. This
Corporate
Illusion
corporate image was catching on to us real fast.
But then, the second week of our induction began. The corporate cloud began to clear slowly and we were able to see our true relativity. Our crucial role in these high profile meetings, revolved around taking minutes and a few nods. Our contribution remained vital to the formulation of strategic business growth models in the back end market research support we provided. Our gourmet breakfast meetings involved daily congregations at the water cooler. Finally we eventually learnt modern mobile communication was not a blessing but a deterrent to an unavailable status.
And where was the high powered, high cultured Wall Street executive disappearing to? Was it not about talking the talk and walking the walk anymore? Was it not about flying the corporate jet and having team building sessions in the Maldives? Was it not about watching the cricket final sitting in the VIP box sipping cocktails? No it wasn’t. The
hyped up corporate arena slowly revealed its true colors. You eventually realize you never did take that giant leap into the corporate pool. In fact it seems you never left high school. Everyday as you enter, you see the arena so passively categorized. You see the corner reserved for the jocks, the table occupied by the cheerleaders, the hunched away nerds and techies, the swaying of the hippies and the lurking of the bad boys. They all come together working whilst remaining loyal to their alias. Just like in high school, one person would rule the most likely to succeed category.
Perhaps the corporate world was a glass house effect or perhaps it was something for us to shape up. Our peers have risen to the challenge and have proven their worth. Many have gone places worthy of their potential. Perhaps eventually everybody will be classified under the most likely to succeed category. It is just a matter of how one defines their success.
The LUMS MBA
Methods and Memories By Saroop Gul MBA 2006
The beauty of the LUMS MBA case method of study is that it gives you a good feel of the real work environment. This is in contrast to the lecture method, where the frameworks and methodologies narrated by the professor are forgotten as soon as the students leave the classroom. In the case method since the frameworks are applied on real life scenarios, the retention levels rise exponentially. However, this you do not realize till you enter the real work environment. I think the most valuable lesson I learnt is that every situation is unique. ItÊs funny; back in class it seemed that only certain courses were very important, the rest were nice-to-haves. This might sound cliché but, it is really true that each module teaches something significant. I have lost count of the number of times when I have mentally referred back to cases while dealing with a situation on the job. For example, some of the aspects, which we tend to overlook but which, if properly understood, give you that extra edge, are: Culture and norms (religious, traditional etc.) are very important. I remember this case from China where the narrative about the central character in the situation marrying a local Chinese girl was ten pages long. (I agree, that was stretching it a bit too far). In todayÊs global village more and more of us are working abroad or have regional reporting lines. Even if most Gen-Y consumers watch the same sitcoms and movies, at the core they are all dif ferent. So while deciding to launch a
new product you have to be sensitive to local needs. The general impression was that HR and OB courses were „dabba‰. You understand their relevance when these „dabbas‰ fall on your head, initially when you have to „manage your boss‰ and later when you have to „manage your reportees‰. Everyone has their unique style of working, the key lies in understanding and exploiting this uniqueness. Forcing your reportee to work late when he has a family to take care of, can wreak havoc with both his professional/ personal life. „Know the resistance point‰, a key takeaway which has helped me in not just business negotiations but also in other dealings. The tendency to do all your student projects with friends also backfires. Not working outside your core group ef fects your team building skills. In real life, you have to work with all sorts of people. The irony is that usually you end up working with those you donÊt like. True you canÊt like everyone and there are times when you have to stand up for what you believe in. Still you have to learn to keep your professional and personal lives separate. To excel, you have to have a working relationship with everyone. Very easy to preach, very dif ficult to follow but these are the rules of the game. You canÊt run away from numbers. Usually a CP based on number analysis to justif y your decision was highly regarded. Same is the case in real life. If you know how to use data to deduce meaningful information, people will regard you highly. ItÊs a myth that by not working in
a bank you will be able to avoid Finance. At the end of the day profits rule. DoesnÊt matter which business or department you end up working for, there will be a time when you will be pulling your hair out while reconciling numbers. So its better not to avoid taking that Corporate Finance course because trust me it comes in handy. „So what have you decided?‰ A line oft repeated in every class, at the end of each case. You have to go this way or that. There is no in-bet w een.Int er es tingl y there is no one particular answer. Each option has its pros and cons but the most optimal has to be chosen. You have to use your judgment knowing that even after all the analysis, if that one assumption goes wrong, it will all fall down like a house of cards. In class it was just your CP on the line. In real life the stakes are much higher. Timing is the key. In class you have to think on your feet and tailor your CP as the discussion progresses, likewise on the job you have to decide to launch the product at the right time lest the competition takes advantage and becomes the leader. The two years of the LUMS MBA just fly away but they arm you with all the skills required to excel in the real world. The added bonus is the ton of cherished memories to keep you going through the harsh realities of real life.
Thriller Night
A happening year with the LUMS Music Society By Mohammad Hassaan Aslam
The Music Society has always been committed to providing great exposure to musical entertainment at LUMS. The current Society President, Shibli Mansuri and Vice President Ammar Rashid, both from the Batch of 2008, along with their team took newer and bolder steps in the year 2007-08, resulting in the attainment of newer heights for the society, as well as for the music loving LUMS community. The year started like any other, with an unplugged gig for the new batch of 2011, where new and budding musicians were encouraged to perform without any restrictions on songs or the number of songs. During the autumn quarter, The Music Society hosted one of the most innovative and exhilarating internal events ever witnessed at LUMS. Held late in October, the concert, known as the “Thriller Night” was based along the lines of Halloween, where not only the performers, but also the crowd was asked to dress up in costumes. It was quite a sight in LUMS with people dressed as scarily as they could. Prizes were given out for the best costumes. The Music Society then hosted one of the biggest external concerts in the history of LUMS. In collaboration with The Music, the concert was known as the “Rock Drive”, and it included a number of famous performers and bands from Pakistan, including Siege, Akash,
Annie, Shafqat Amanat Ali, Roxen and Call. The concert was an instant hit, drawing a large crowd. Highlights of the night were Shafqat’s classical solos without music and Call who not only did their famous numbers but also covered Bon Jovi’s “It’s My Life.” The Music Society also collaborated with the LUMS Entrepreneurial Society and helped them organize the YLES ’08 concert in the Sports Complex. This was another huge event, featuring bands like Mauj, Noori and Josh, drawing a crowd of more than 3000. After “recuperating” from all the excitement, the Music Society took stage again in spring, where they hosted another ground-breaking event, the “Maula-Jutt Rock.” It was an internal event which catered only to Pakistani music, themed around our very own Lollywood, where the backdrop included a picture of Maula Jutt holding a guitar. It was a new tradition, catering only to Urdu s o n g s , vowed to be
continued over the years. The year-end was marked by another internal unplugged gig held in the new student lounge. It featured mostly the 2008’s, the graduating batch, a perfect goodbye to them. Apart from these events, other positive steps include improvement in the new music room, which has been shifted to the sports complex and purchase of new equipment particularly guitars. The Music Society is now looking towards the next year, with plans to hold panel discussions as well as instrument (guitar, drums as well as tabla) lessons. A new recording studio is being set up so that the musicians may record their originals in LUMS itself. All in all, The Music Society plans to continue with their efforts for promoting music within LUMS and also motivating the talented aspiring musicians here.

Sports at LUMS By Umair Rao
Sports at LUMS (SLUMS) is one of the most active societies at LUMS and believes in providing opportunities to the student body that ensues to inculcate a sense of sportsman spirit, discipline and responsibility during all sporting events. Sports at LUMS is the largest society in LUMS which caters to approximately 60 % of the entire student body. Comprising of 17 different sports (Athletics, Badminton, Basketball, Cricket, Football, Hockey, Netball, Rugby, Snooker, Squash, Table Tennis, Tennis ,Softball, Swimming, Weightlifting, Boxing and Vol-
leyball), it caters to the entire LUMS student body as it renders to be a platform to challenge one’s athletic abilities and provide the opportunity to pursue a sport one already knows or yearns to learn. SLUMS successfully manages to host various inter and intra university tournaments every academic year. These entail annual fixtures with various universities, participation in the large scale annual Higher Education Commission (HEC) Sports tournaments and participation in All-Pakistan sports tournaments.
The highlights for the last year were two international trips. The first one was the result of the proactive Rugby team that participated in the International 7s Rugby tournament in Dubai where they played the best teams and faced tough competition. The Basketball, Volleyball, Football, Table Tennis, Tennis and Badminton teams participated in the International Sports Festival in Turkey held at and hosted by Bogazici University in Istanbul. Our claim to fame was our tennis team; the final was played between Muteeb Pasha and Said Khan (both LUMINITES) and won by Muteeb Pasha. Shaza Fatima and Zainul Abideen won the third position in mixed doubles in badminton, whereas Misha Rehman bagged the third position in Tennis. SLUMS last year had the honor to host and organize the biggest ever National Inter-University Table Tennis Tournament in which 40 universities from all over Pakistan participated. This tournament was held over a period of four days and Karachi University emerged as the champion after beating Punjab University in the final. The society also hosted the Nirala Futsal Challenge that attracted 32 teams, both university and school level, to play “6 a side” football matches. There were three fields where matches took place at one time, attracting loads of students, teachers and supporters for external teams. This first of its kind tournament was very successful. The Clash of the Volley bulls was also another huge event which took place at the beach court and in which approximately 16 teams participated. Sponsored by Red bull, this three day tournament ended with a celebrity match in which cricketers, models and athletes were invited. Here the girls’ teams also participated and that was indeed a boost to their sporting abilities and interest. For all other sports; namely tennis, cricket, squash, hockey, badminton, basketball and rugby, a number of regional and national levels inter university fixtures were organized and played with great vigor, enthusiasm and sportsman spirit. SLUMS hopes and aims to take all the sports to new heights in the next year by providing training sessions for aspiring sportspersons and organizing all sorts of tournaments to encourage participation. Warid Telecom sponsored most of the events organized by SLUMS thus helping to promote sports at the university level. Their support is highly appreciated.
The Passion for Volleyball
A message from the volleyball representatives By Anum Basir & Qasim Hasnain
All night All right-Happening Music-Interesting food- In the heat of August and the winds of December - Students across the batches are seen at no place other than the Volleyball Courts. Introducing to you our "Claim to Fame" for the term 07-08 and our love of life: VOLLEYBALL.
Volleyball at LUMS is not just a mere sport; it's a sport which involves excitement, passion, and enthusiasm and most importantly the love for the game. We invite you to come and witness this passion and excitement directly live from LUMS volley courts (Beach court and Hard court). These are the courts where we have learned to enjoy play and play, where many have learnt after us in awe, inspiration, imitation and most importantly mere interest and passion. Thus we proudly claim that Volleyball is currently one of the most famous sports here at LUMS with the highest turnout in tournaments and the biggest support base.
We had a number of tournaments during the last year; including a 3 on 3, 6 on 6, an Intersociety Volleyball tournament and Valentines Volleyball tournament. We participated in the annual HEC tournaments where both the boys and girls teams performed really well .The LUMS Boys Volleyball team even attended the Turkey sports festival hosted by Bogazici University. As reps for this year we hosted the Redbull "CLASH of the Volley bulls 07." It was a unique and exciting festival, as it was the only Beach (Sand) volleyball tournament to be held in Pakistan, which featured, both male and female teams playing simultaneously.
We tried our best to take Volleyball to new heights this year and we'd like the new sports representatives to work harder on the popularity and skill of the sport by conducting more training sessions and encouraging those individuals to play who are interested but currently don't have the skill or incentive to play.

Some Achievements…
il Compiled by Rabia Roha
LUMUN Wins World Championship LUMUN has done it again! We take pride in the fact that the LUMUN team has been declared World Champion for the third consecutive year. This year Harvard WorldMUN or World Model United Nations was held at Puebla in Mexico. There were 1600 delegates from all over the world and top class Universities like Oxford, MIT, William and Mary, West Point, Berkley, and Princeton etc. were competing for the Outstanding Delegation Award. It is very significant that this year all eight delegates of the LUMS team won individual Outstanding Diplomacy Awards which is a rare happening in the history of Harvard WorldMUN. Collectively the LUMUN team was awarded the coveted Outstanding Delegation Award. This year’s achievement of the LUMUN team is indeed a tremendous performance by the students.
Laurels in Floriculture & Horticulture LUMS stood first in the gardens category of the universities in the 150th Annual Flower Show Competition organized by the Horticulture Society of Pakistan at Bagh – i- Jinnah. The Gardeners and their Supervisors, Mr. Altaf & Mr. Kabir & lawn mower technician Mr. Muzaffar deserve special praise for their untiring and concerted efforts.
LUMS T20 - Stars swarm to the LUMS Cricket Ground LUMS cricket club organized a match including real cricket stars of the Pakistani Team. Watching Imran Nazir, Shabbir Ahmad along with Junaid Zia and Abdul Rehman playing at LUMS cricket ground was exhilarating for many.
LUMS Alumna wins Fellowship The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation announced the selection of 29 Charlotte W. Newcombe Doctoral Dissertation Fellows for 2008. Among them is LUMS alumna Nosheen Ali, now a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at Cornell University. The 2008 Newcombe Fellowship, a highly competitive national award, provides $23,000 for 12 months of work on a dissertation in the humanities or social sciences that addresses questions of religious or ethical value.
National Outreach Programme Donors Acknowledgement Event On June 14, 2008, LUMS NOP team arranged a special event to acknowledge the generous support of the LUMS National Outreach Programme. This event, hosted at LUMS, was sponsored by Zong (China Mobile Pakistan) and had participation of more than 200 socially responsible guests including representatives of corporate identities, individuals, alumni, students and colleagues. This was the 5th Donor’s Acknowledgment Event organized in honor of supporters
of the National Outreach Programme. The evening started with a welcome address by Sheikh Ali Hussain, Director Resource Development and Alumni Affairs followed by a presentation overview on the National Outreach Programme by Dr Syed Zahoor Hassan (former Vice Chancellor, LUMS). Dr Hassan emphasized on how LUMS had, in the last twenty three years, managed to establish itself as an institution of repute by adhering to its core values of merit, diversity and excel-
lence. He also shared the rationale behind need-blind admission policy of LUMS and future aspirations of the National Outreach Programme. Mr Abdul Razak Dawood, the Rector of LUMS then shared with the audience, his thought that went into setting up the university and the dire need of programmes like the National Outreach Programme for Pakistan. The event ended with a spectacular performance by the legendary Tina Sani.
Making LUMS Accessible to All! The LUMS National Outreach Programme (NOP) has continued to make a difference in the higher education sector of Pakistan by providing a unique educational opportunity to the brilliant yet financially disadvantaged students of Pakistan. Since inception, the National Outreach Programme has been successful in inducting 190 students in LUMS at undergraduate
level through the NOP stream; this includes the 83 NOP scholars inducted this year as well as the students currently at various stages in their 4 year programme. 13 NOP Scholars have graduated to date, 3 of which received Fulbright Scholarship and joined top universities such as Harvard, Cornell and Columbia. 3 are enrolled in National University of Singapore, Lake-
head University and Pantheon Sorbonne University respectively on fellowships while those who opted to work have joined leading organizations such as Unilever, Standard Chartered Bank, Colony Group, Al-Ghanim Industries Kuwait, Habib Bank AG Zurich and Habib Bank Limited.
In the year 2008, 7500 highly talented students from across Pakistan applied for admission into LUMS through the NOP. After conducting the evaluation test in 16 cities, 700 candidates were shortlisted for LUMS Admission Tests coaching. The coaching sessions were arranged at 9 different centers such as Lahore, Rawalpindi, Peshawar, Multan, Kohat, Attock, Sahiwal, Faisalabad and Karachi. These remote coaching sessions were made possible through the support of our partner institutions, current students and alumni. The candidates coached in these sessions would be eligible to join LUMS from Fall 2009. At least 100 of these students are expected to be inducted at LUMS at that time. It is re-
ally encouraging to receive such exceptional results, which would not have been possible without the persistent efforts of the NOP team and support of the LUMS family including alumni, faculty, staff and a large number of well-wishers. The growing population of NOP scholars requires greater support from the LUMS family as well as socially responsible citizens. It has become necessary to generate sufficient funds to sustain this noble initiative and meet educational expenses of young men and women of Pakistan. BSc graduates of 2002 came forward to set up an endowment fund to sponsor two NOP Scholars. BSc Class of 2006 graduates have sponsored the tuition
fee of a NOP Scholar for the second year in 2008. The generosity of these alumni and their support toward the LUMS vision shows that the LUMS spirit stays with the alumni at all times. We are truly grateful to the alumni for contributing their time in our identification process for brilliant and needy students as well as for helping us financially in this endeavor. Future plans include inducting students in graduate programmes through the National Outreach Programme stream. We look forward to your help in turning this dream into reality. It is only with your support and encouragement that we have been able to change lives and will continue to do so in the future as well.
