GCU holds grand reunion of alumni

LAHORE : In order to celebrate 100-year celebrations of the Government College University (GCU), the Old Ravians Union (ORU) organised a grand reunion of hostelites which was attended by alumni from all over Pakistan.

According to a press release, GCU Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Asghar Zaidi also invited the former boarders to spend one day and a night in the same room where they lived as students. He stressed that the GCU should start law degree programmes, as many eminent jurists in Pakistan were Old Ravians and they would act a golden resource to establish the law school.

He elaborated on year-long celebrations to mark the centenarian year of GCU New Hostel and a plan to refurbish the rooms of the hostel with the support of Old Ravians.

ORU President Ashfaq Mohlan and General Secretary Tayyab Rizvi also addressed the reunion event, and expressed gratitude to the Vice Chancellor for his support to the union.
