A SEMINAR ON WOMEN DAY |
Department of Applied Psychology University of the Punjab arranged an auspicious seminar to celebrate the services of Women in Higher Management. The Eve was honored by the guest speakers Prof. Dr. Shahina Asif, Prof. Dr. Najma Najam, Dr. Zaiba Ahmad, Prof. Dr. Nasira Jadoon, Dr. Shehla Javed Akram, and Ms. Mussrat Misbah. These acclaimed, eminent women shared their valuable experiences about women in higher management. They identified the detrimental factors that debar women from reaching executive positions inspite of the fact that proportion of women is quite high in lower management. The honorable speakers expressed that women are successful managers because they have inherent potential to manage their homes and work place equally well inspite of dual burden. This vision was also expressed that by gaining self-assertion and self-confidence they can climb the ladder of higher management more effectively. The Chairperson of the department Prof. Dr. Rukhsana Kausar at the end acknowledged the worthy presence of guests and thanked all her faculty members, support staff and students for their active contribution in the arrangement of the seminar. Dr. Shahida Manzoor from College of Arts & Design, University of the Punjab arranged the painting exhibition by women artists.
