NED Spring Festival '09
I first got this invitation on Facebook. Thought I would inform the community. And I will spare you the lecture on how this was inconceivable–except by the wackiest of dreamers–when we were there:
Event: Spring Festival
“Debut in NED:)”
What: Festival
Host: CSA
Start Time: Thursday, February 26 at 11:00am
End Time: Thursday, February 26 at 6:00pm
Where: NED University
I can only say that we’ll look forward to reports, pictures, and information as we move along!
And actually, if you look at the event calendar put out by the Student Affairs office of NED, we seem to be starting to cover the whole range. You can find pictures of the Student Orientation on the NED site here, and I will put up pictures I have received of the book fair in January soon. [Do send more if you have 'em, though.]

"From Brain Drain to Brain Gain", a seminar at NED
This report is a bit dated and we apologize for that, but in an effort to catch up with events and happenings at NED and to provide a flavour for campus life, we decided to provide this report here anyway.
A seminar entitled “From Brain Drain to Brain Gain” was held by the Constructive Student’s Network (CSN) in the NED Auditorium on May 28, 2008 . The Chief Guest was the Vice Chancellor NED University, Eng. Abul Kalam. CSN collaborated with NED University, Redsky Organizers, Navitus and FLP for this event.
Participants in "From Brain Drain to Brain Gain" seminar
We had an audience of 300, including students from NED and other participants from different NGOs like PYA, PYO, KYO etc. in our seminar. Judging by the feedback received from students participating in the seminar, the topic was one that helped them better understand their own importance to their country and thus contributed to an understanding of how to make their own future career and personal decisions.
The speakers in the experts panel were:

Haris Shamsi (linkedin profile) belongs to the Electrical Engineering batch of 1994-95 (graduated in 1998). Haris is probably the youngest professional in the local technology sphere to wield a lot of positive control when it comes to implementing Internet technologies correctly, consistently, and to world standards in the budding data industry of Pakistan.
Haris currently works as the head of Product Development for Mobilink Infinity, a project that will have a great impact on Pakistan’s data infrastructure. By its very nature the project will be definitive. Estimated to be a ~$200 million project, Mobilink Infinity is about quenching the broadband thirst of a nation that is very young in terms of data infrastructure but which has already showed a very high level of maturity in the voice domain. The technology behind the project is Wimax, and the equipment is being supplied by Alcatel Lucent and Motorola. WAIT! There is more to read… read on »
