LUMS at 40 Gala — Invitation

We are delighted to invite you to the LUMS at 40 Gala in New York, an evening that brings together friends of LUMS to celebrate 40 years of the University and the future we can help shape together.

LUMS was the second not-for-profit university chartered in Pakistan, and today it is one of the country's top institutions for education, research, and innovation.

For 40 years, LUMS has given talented young people from across Pakistan access to an environment that challenges them to think differently, pursue their ambitions, and make an impact far beyond the university. On November 20, we have an opportunity to help ensure it reaches the next generation.
