LAHORE: Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) Orientation Week concluded on Tuesday. The event started on Thursday with an orientation session for parents and students of the undergraduate class of 2020 at the LUMS’ Syed Maratab Ali Sports Complex.

Faculty members and staff also conducted different seminars and information sessions to help students understand life at LUMS better. The orientation week included a host of activities such as batch photo, icebreaking sessions, food street, sports gala, scavenger hunt and a trip to Joyland.

LUMS organised the orientation week each year for the new batch to welcome them to the university as they embark on an exciting new journey. It is designed to give students and their parents the chance to acquaint themselves with the campus and the community by participating in group-based activities. These activities help equip newcomers with vital information, and provide guidance from faculty and senior students, to make an easy transition to university life.

LUMS Mushtaq Ahmad Gurmani School of Humanities and Social Sciences Dean Dr Kamal Munir officially welcomed the parents and students. He congratulated them and encouraged the students to make the best of what LUMS has to offer, as these four years would shape their professional careers for the rest of their lives. Later, the deans and senior faculty of the four schools at LUMS introduced their departments and programmes. The week concluded with an award night where students enjoyed a formal dinner and gave titles to their coaches and peers.
