"Leaders
for tomorrow" is not just a catchy catchphrase or an
attractive tag-line for IBA, but also a motto that is
fully reflected in all aspects of nurturing its student
at this university.
Every year, ambitious students contest to get elected
for the 28 distinct societies spearheaded by a Student
Council. Through a democratic process involving vigor,
strategic planning, coordination and determination,
triumphant students earn a chance to represent IBA as
office bearers. They hold office in their respective
capacities for a year and work to conduct their proposed
events in available resources. This opportunity allows
them to grasp the hindsight of the professional careers
to follow and helps them get acquainted to the practical
fieldwork.
This year, an oath taking ceremony was held on September
17, 2013 at the Alumni Students’ Centre to officially
announce the commencement of business for the societies
and its office bearers.
The ceremony also marked the informal inauguration of
the much awaited Centre which took Rs. 200 million to
complete. Alumni Students’ Centre houses the facilities
like Amphitheatre for 500 seating capacity, Cafeteria,
Dining Hall for 90 persons, Kitchen, Common Area /
Lounge, Offices, Indoor Play Area, Badminton Court,
Gymnasium, Service Area, Computer Lab, UPS / Printing
Room, MEP Room, Green Room.
The colorful ceremony kicked off with Registrar, Captain
(Retd.) Ahmed Zaheer administered the oath to the young
office bearers and expressed his willingness to aid
students completely whenever required. Dr Ishrat Hussain,
Dean and Director of IBA, was also present at the
occasion. In his speech he was able to inspire students
to take on the charge with certitude, fervor and
passion. He expressed his desire to see different
societies collaborating to come up with big, unique and
ingenious events.
Over the refreshments, the patrons of respective
societies greeted the new office bearers and listened
keenly to what the office bearers plan to propose for
the year. They freely shared their opinions and
motivated the students to team-up effectively. Nasir
Altaf, the Vice President of IBA Student Council vowed
to give prime importance to all student related matters
and expressed his desire to do justice to his position.
He was seconded by his team of ISC who all looked sharp
and ready to serve.
