In the inaugural event, students, faculty, and staff came together to celebrate the vibrant culture and rich heritage of Pakistan. Attendees enjoyed presentations, cultural performances, and a taste of authentic Pakistani cuisine, making it a memorable start to this new initiative. Pakistan is represented on campus by 65 students, 10 faculty members, and 11 resident assistants —9 of whom are proud alumni.

NU President, Professor Waqar Ahmad, originally from Pakistan, emphasized the importance of such initiatives in fostering a supportive and inclusive environment for all students. This event, in collaboration with the Embassy of Pakistan in Kazakhstan, marks the beginning of an enriching and transformative series of cultural exchanges on campus.
