Universities are not easy to build but once we build them, it is our responsibility to keep them going. I thank Shahbaz Yasin Malik and Rafiq M. Habib for playing their part in doing so.

Another segment of the event constituted of the surprise dedication of “Rafiq M. Habib Boardroom” in honor of the Founding Chancellor of Habib University, Mr. Rafiq M. Habib.

Pakistan is considered one of the most generous nations in the world, and while primary and secondary education do garner philanthropic support, higher education is neglected. As a result, a large portion of youth is unable to acquire quality Higher Education, primarily because of the high cost of private universities in the country. Habib University, recognizing this national dilemma, has vigorously been striving to deal with this obstacle with the help of a committed community of supporters.
