Today's edition of Backpack to Briefcase: Alumni Success Stories, an initiative of the Salim Habib University Career Placement & Industrial Liaison Office, features Sohail Rehman, a Doctor of Pharmacy graduate of the Class of 2022, who has joined GSK Pakistan as a Quality Assurance Officer.

Here's what Sohail has to say about his journey from campus life to corporate life:

"As I embarked on my journey through university life, I found myself filled with a mixture of excitement and trepidation. On one hand, I was eager to dive headfirst into the world of higher education and all that it has to offer - the challenging coursework, the diverse student body, and the endless opportunities for personal and professional growth. On the other hand, I was also well aware of the many challenges ahead - the long hours spent studying and the heavy workload, the pressure to succeed academically, and the ever-present competition for jobs and internships.

Salim Habib University and the Faculty of Pharmacy always helped me out with academic and extracurricular activities at every step. Furthermore, participating in student clubs and organizations during my university years was one of the most valuable experiences I have had. Being a part of PharmDeeS (SHU's Pharmacy Departmental Society) not only helped me develop my leadership skills, communication, teamwork skills, and sense of responsibility, but also allowed me to explore and discover new interests and passions. Being a part of student clubs also helped me become a more well-rounded person by exposing me to different perspectives and cultures."

Sohail, we are proud of how much you have grown both as a person and as a professional. Best of luck for all future endeavours!
