Dr. S Akbar Zaidi addressed a healthy audience of upwards of 35 alumni at K-Electric's AZM Learning Institute. The session focused on reconnecting IBA Alumni with the institution and informing them about the recent growth, initiatives and possibilities present within IBA. Dr. Zaidi focused on sharing updates about how IBA has evolved from a purely business school to a comprehensive university with over 18 programs and 3 distinct schools pursuing excellence in the fields of Business Studies, Maths & Computer Sciences and Social Sciences and Liberal Arts. He also fielded questions from the alumni about their perceptions of IBA today and identifying ways that alumni could engage with their alma mater. If you would like to invite IBA to your organization and engage alumni in your place of work, please reach out to us at alumni@iba.edu.pk so we can set up a session in your office. Exciting News for our IBA Alumni in KSA and Bahrain! The IBA Alumni and Placement Society hosted a reunion for Islamabad-based alumni and its surrounding regions to come together and reconnect to share memories and rekindle old friendships. The event took place at the Best Western Hotel with over 90 guests in attendance. The event brought together professionals from a wide array of industries ranging from fintech, to telecommunications, to manufacturing. Guests from across the decades were present to connect with old and new alumni alike. Mr. Raza Chinoy, President of the Islamabad Alumni Chapter, welcomed the guests and thanked them for showing up in such a healthy number. He spoke about the various initiatives launched by the chapter as well as informing them about the upcoming chapter elections and the intention of passing on the reigns to fresh blood. The event was also noteworthy due to its celebratory nature recognizing alumni who had done wonders in their respective fields.
