You are the president of PSA UTM tell us a bit about yourself and PSA. What is PSA and what is its purpose etc?
PSA is a student group that aims to socially engage Pakistani Students from different colleges and universities in an attempt to bring out the Pakistani culture together in a foreign land. We try to bring together students in different types of events, which allows us to network with them while also allowing the students to meet fellow Pakistani students. With that being said, PSA also aims to promote the cultures and traditions of Pakistan in a way where we are not forcing it upon our members but having them embrace it and respect it.
What is needed to be the president of PSA UTM?
Being President of PSA is a fulltime job. I worked several years as an executive of the club before being chosen to become president. To be a PSA president or a president of any club for that matter, one needs to have a vision and be ready for innovation. Change is what we strive upon in this world and as the president of PSA, setting standards is important making sure that you are leading by example. That is the first thing needed to be a president. However, I have always believed that one man cannot bring change, it has to be through a combined effort and I am lucky enough to work with people who understand my vision and help me achieve that.
Do you let PSA effect your studies and how do you manage your studies, work and PSA altogether?
At one point, PSA did have an impact on my studies and work, but it is really critical to maintain a balance that I was able to do throughout my university days. Managing your time is key to a successful combination of doing everything you want and I am glad I have always been able to manage and prioritize my time right.
If someone wants to join PSA UTM then what do they have to do?
Joining PSA is not the hardest thing to do out there. but we do expect everyone to volunteer with us, get to know our organization and how it works. Then they are elected to become executives and become part of the team. we are always welcoming to bright young Pakistanis who wish to become a part of our team.
