Humanities Department, an extraordinary success
It's a moment of immense pleasure that Under the guidance of Dr Bilal Zafar Amin and Madam Asma
Razi from the Humanities Department, an extraordinary success has been achieved by the BBA (FA21)
students at COMSATS University Islamabad, Lahore Campus, in the esteemed Francophonie contest
2023. Organized collaboratively by the embassies of Belgium, France, and Switzerland, along with the
High Commission of Canada in Pakistan, the contest, titled "Concours de la Francophonie 2023" -
"Dessine-moi la planète" (Draw me the planet), aimed to assess French language proficiency while
addressing the critical issue of climate change.
Under the theme "My planet in comics" - "Climate change under our eyes," participants were challenged
to create a comic strip showcasing linguistic expertise in French while highlighting the adverse impacts
of climate change. The students from the Management Sciences Department at CUI, Lahore,
demonstrated their outstanding talent and linguistic capabilities through their entries. Ms. Mah Noor
Chaudhary (FA21-BBA-039), Ms. Nawaal Mir (FA21-BBA-063), and Mr. Ali Shahzad (FA21-BBA-035)
secured the 1st position among 15 universities in Category 3, skillfully portraying the burning issue of
climate change in their comic strip entry.
The award ceremony, held on 13th December 2023, was a momentous occasion where the winners
received certificates, gift hampers, and the opportunity to personally meet the French ambassador, Mr.
Nicolas Galey. This recognition stands as a testament to their dedication, creativity, and linguistic
prowess on an international platform.
Worthy Director COMSATS Lahore Dr Sayyed Asad Hussain appreciated the Head Department of
Humanities Dr Musferah Mehfooz and the whole team on this wonderful effort and celebrated the
success of the Lahore campus students.
