Lahore, In an effort to support students in their academic and career endeavors, Forman Christian College organized its 12th Annual Advising Fair on February 27-28, 2024. Held on the college’s football ground, the event saw participation from all academic departments, including the “AAC Degree Audit Corner,” “Career Services,” and “International Education Offices.” These stalls were set up to offer guidance and facilitate the students visiting the fair. The event attracted seniors, juniors, freshmen, and sophomores over both days, providing them with valuable information on their respective majors and career paths, in addition to degree auditing services.

This year, to celebrate more than a decade of annual advising fairs, additional support events were included to offer both advisors and advisees recreational activities alongside academic consultations.
