July 22, 2010: One might not be what one appears to be. Of the many nouns this holds true for, Preston University is definitely one of them, as it was the tenth destination of Campus Conversations. Accompanying us on as panelists representing the industry were Shoaib Nizami, CEO of Corporits, Amir Hassan, Director of IT Support at TRG Tech, Abdul Karim, HR Head at Etilize, and Mr. Nabeel Nawaz, VP at Abraaj Capital and Head of IT at KESC and Jehan Ara, President of P@SHA. Raising an intelligent discussion on concerns that are not necessarily academic, the student body of Preston University did manage to make the three hour discussion productive for themselves.

And so the Campus Conversations team was over at Iqra University earlier today to interact with students from the Media Sciences Department with a dynamic panel that had the likes of Sabeen Mahmud from T2F, Jehan Ara from P@SHA, Amyn Farooqui, co-CEO and Co-Founder of Sharp Image, Sawant Ali Shah Strategy Director at Yello.pk and Khalid Mehmood from ESPN-CricInfo.
