Presidents Message

As we navigate through these unprecedented times, LUMS Daily Student is more motivated than ever to keep the community informed with the latest news and discourse on issues dear to them. We are a tightly-knit family of budding journalists and story-tellers, connected by the passion for collaborative learning. The LUMS Daily Student offers students a chance to be part of a inclusive society where members hail from a diverse set of majors, each adding their own prespectives and academic expertise. This enables us to participate in discussions spanning all genres from campus life and business to academic issues, social engagement and community well-being. With a newspaper boasting a reach of over 2000 students and convening Pakistan’s leading student journalism event, we present an enriching society experience. We warm-heartedly welcome the LUMS Class of 2024 to lead content creation at LDS.
