A Pakistani student from Faisalabad has been elected as the president of Cambridge University Graduate Union. Arsalan Ghani will lead the student union representing 12,000 MA, M Phil and PhD students studying at Cambridge University. It is a sabbatical position, meaning that Arsalan will have to intermit his studies and take a full time role as the president of union offices.
In over 800 years of Cambridge’s history, this is the first time that a Pakistani student has been elected as the president of the Graduate Union. Arsalan did his bachelors from the National Textile University, Faisalabad and completed his masters in Belgium. He is doing his PhD in manufacturing policy from Cambridge.
