Pinktober - Breast Cancer Awareness Week

The Office of Health and Wellness in collaboration with Human Resources department and Serve club organized a week-long awareness program for Breast Cancer. The events started with a webinar on the 27th October, which was arranged in collaboration with Pink Pakistan.

In addition to an online session, an in-person awareness session was conducted on campus by Dr. Zubaida from Pink Pakistan. This session was focused on clearing out different misconceptions regarding breast cancer and why self-examination is extremely necessary for women. Later, Dr. Zubaida also catered to one-on-one questions with the audience.

The week ended with a two-day bake sale, which showcased tote bags, pins, and other merchandise for people to pitch their support during breast cancer awareness month. In addition, the proceeds were donated to Pink Pakistan, and subsequently contributed to their cause.
