HABIB UNIVERSITY PROUDLY PARTNERS WITH ADAB FESTIVAL
Join us to celebrate
Aamaada-e-Safar, celebrating 5 years of shaping futures, is a celebration of the five successfully graduated batches of Habib University from 2018 to 2022. The celebration is centered around our prized faculty, our outstanding alumni, and our brilliant students who all believed in this institution and helped it rise from the unknown to the status of a globally influential liberal arts university in the short span of eight years.
Pearls of Appreciation
It is an immense honor for Habib University to be appreciated by a wide range of people who are engaging with Habib in different capacities as well as those who are inspired by and celebrating Habib in its pursuit of excellence as an institution.
“My biggest achievement would be that I got to design ten different courses during my tenure. I would be forever indebted to all the people who actually believed in me so much to honor me to be the very first Dean's Fellow at Habib University, the youngest Lecturer to teach there (at the time when I joined) at the age of 24, to be a member of the Faculty Senate at HU and to also be awarded the Teaching Excellence Award for a course in AHSS in May 2021. I am going to miss this place very very much indeed.”

“Habib University is poised to play a strong role in producing students who have these skills to navigate a future because they’re well prepared with a broad range of critical skills, critical thinking, analytical skills that people need to navigate many different situations in the future.”

“Being a parent, because my kid goes to the social development and policy program at Habib, and I have seen her transformed into this extremely responsible individual, who knows a lot of stuff that I don’t know, and I have seen her have these really good discussions with her dad about economy and politics. And I feel that if she had gone to any other college for example engineering or medicine, she wouldn’t have ended up knowing so much and taking an interest in her surroundings as she does while going to Habib.”
Afshan Zahid
Program Director,

“When we compare Habib university to other universities, I think the label of liberal arts and where they have a combination of sciences as well as history and comparative humanities, it really aides to put up a group or a combination of subjects where students are ready to pick them up but they don’t know which university to land into and so Habib, I guess, is a very promising university where in future I will be telling my students to opt for.”

Celebrating the
five successful cohorts
Our association with our first five successful cohorts gives us feelings of immense joy and pride that we were able to shape them into capable, well-rounded, and empathetic individuals.
Voices of the alumni
Our alumni have been supporting us by engaging with us no matter where they are, we have made sure this invaluable bond never breaks.
“Habib University's transdisciplinary approach helped me get an insight on topics outside of Communication and Design, which my degree was in. Habib allowed me to take classes related to Urban Studies, work on research and intern in a related program which all helped me secure a position in a City Planning Master's Program at Georgia Tech, which is a very competitive program.”

“ I am a Communication and Design major, and I got introduced to logic building and coding in my very first semester and as tough as it was for us to fulfill this requirement, it did spark an interest in me. Thanks to the way HU always supports trans-disciplinarity, my instructors encouraged me to take up more advanced courses and I, being a designer, now know how to code in 2 programming languages, I know how to build circuits and I also know how to control these circuits through my codes.”

“The lesson that is closest to my heart is that of keeping an open mind. When you enter a university, it tends to be the fact that you meet people from a lot more diverse backgrounds than you’re used to, from wherever you’re coming. I have felt that Habib community does a great job at ensuring that inclusivity; that everyone feels heard, no one is being marginalized or feels left out. ”
Abdullah Siddiqui
Electrical Engineering,
Class of 2021
“In this day and age, it doesn't really serve anyone well to work rigidly on one discipline alone and Habib University's Liberal Arts model serves that notion right.”
Mashal Faraz Shamsi
Communication and Design,
Class of 2021
“Yohsin values have played a great part in my transformation; my passion has always been in computer science but the useful value of service has allowed me to channel my passion in such a way that it allows me to serve my community. The concept of Yohsin is a great reminder and a moral compass.. ”
Faraz Ahmed Khan
Computer Science,
Class of 2021
“I'll always be indebted to Habib University's uniquely structured program that allowed me to engage with a diverse set of experiences both within and outside the classroom.”
