Farewell MBA 2022

Lahore, May 16, 2022 (PPI-OT):The Lahore School OF Economics hosted a grand farewell on Friday 13th of May at the Pearl Continental hotel, in honour of this year’s graduating classes of MPhils, Executive MBAs and the full-time MBAs. Dr Rashid Amjad, a Professor of Economics and Director at the Graduate Institute of Development Studies, and Dr Sohail Zafar, Dean of Business School, attended the farewell, as did many faculty members.

The function was held after a hiatus of a couple of years due to the impact of Covid, and thus there was a lot of excitement amongst the graduating classes. And the three sections of the MBA cohort who presented on stage did not disappoint the audience.

The highlight of the program was a sterling performance by Rab Nawaz, MBA candidate, who sang a difficult rendition. Many other candidates sang as well, many presented short but hilarious skits highlighting their experiences, and others performed well-prepared choreographies even though the time for preparation for short given the impending exams. Ghazals were sung, with some twists upon the words, with the audience giving raucous support to all the presenters.

At the end there was a dinner but many candidates were seen as photographing their friends, or being photographed by them. The farewell is a time-honoured ritual which puts a closure on a very intense period of learning at the Lahore School for the MPhils, the Executive MBAs and the full-time MBAs. Our graduates have earned the Lahore School a big part of our brand equity, and the Lahore School remains proud of its alumni. It is hoped the 2022 batch will equal if not surpass the achievements of its predecessors.
