Habib University is a liberal arts and sciences university that offers an interdisciplinary education in an intensely collaborative learning environment while Stanford University, California, is a private research university and one of the world’s leading educational institutions, with the top position in numerous rankings and measures in the USA.
Subsequently, 8 students of Habib University departed for the USA on 17th June 2016 to participate in the SSIHP. The program will give an astonishing opportunity to all the participants to connect with other intellects in the world.
