Dr. Syed Faisal Hashmi, President of KUOWA, also commended the participation of faculty and officers. He reaffirmed the Association’s commitment to organizing more informative programs at Karachi University in the future to promote awareness and understanding of official procedures.
The session concluded with an engaging Q&A segment where speakers addressed participants’ queries. Attendees expressed gratitude to the organizers and suggested that similar awareness sessions continue regularly to benefit the wider university community in Karachi.
