LAHORE: Punjab University Department of Social Work, in collaboration with Commonwealth University of Pennsylvania, has successfully completed an international academic project that offered two virtual courses to its students. The initiative enabled participating students to gain international exposure and learning opportunities from a US university.

According to University of the Punjab, the project was led by Associate Prof Dr. Sonia Omer from the Department of Social Work. This collaboration allowed students to be integrated into live classes conducted in the United States, providing them with the chance to interact with international faculty and students, thereby experiencing a global learning environment in real time. Upon successful completion, students received certificates from the host institution.
