USP graduate Sohail Ali says studying in a global pandemic was unprecedented as leaving the campus halls for groceries felt like freedom to them.

While speaking on behalf of graduates at the first USP Graduation after two years, Ali says they have all had a roller-coaster ride from week long quarantines, zoom classes and masked learning.

He says living in those challenging times made them cherish the small and important aspects in life.

61% of the 2,614 USP graduates this year are women.
