Understanding the devotion and passion for arts in FCC, Folio (English) organized an open art competition and exhibition on 20^th and 21^st of April, 2011 at Science block (S-008).  Ever glowing minds of Folio members thought of confessing their utter love for art through a wonderful event.  The task came up as a challenge to the team however the commendable handwork of Asma, Sana Saba and Salma (Event managers & Reps)  paid off completely when over hundred participants committed to take part into the competition and exhibition in which brilliant theme designing of Arman Ahmed (Art Editor) played an enormous role. In all three categories of Competition, Exhibition and Photography students showed great amount of interest.

On 20^th April event started with a boom and it seemed that rainbow of thousand different colors started spreading on the horizons. The event theme was quite informal and students had all the time in world to use their imagination and bring the best out of themselves.

Philosophy comes to FCCU!!!

The department of Philosophy at Forman Christian College was reinstated last spring. It was a historic moment that brought delight to the entire community at FCC. To celebrate the event, the Philosophy Department in collaboration with FOLIO organized an event called “Philosophy Comes to FCC” on Monday, 31 January in the Armacost Science Building Auditorium.

Chairperson of the Philosophy Department, Dr Myron M Miller introduced the new academic programs and courses offered by the department. Guest speaker, Dr Ghazala Irfan from LUMS, spoke about the importance of “Philosophy in the life of Pakistan”. Dr Grace Clark, another guest speaker gave a short presentation on “Philosophy and the Structure of Society”. Dr Waseem Anwer (Dean of Humanities, FCC) expressed his well wishes for the new department.

Students also participated in the event and asked interesting questions from the panel. A skit was performed by three students depicting the key areas of the subject.
The FOLIO team organized the event and took active participation to make it a success.

FOLIO at FCC Open House 2011

FOLIO team set up a stall at FCC Open House 2011on January, 2011 and introduced the magazine to the prospecting students and their parents. Dr. Peter H. Armacost also visited the FOLIO stall and shared his old memories with the FOLIO team.

FCC Open House 2011is a great event to attract the students and spread the awareness among parents regarding different educational programs of FCC. But unfortunately, despite of all the organization and preparation the number of students and parents who turned out for the event was considerably low. We feel that a little more effort towards marketing in different schools and colleges would be helpful to bring students and parents for the next Open House.
