English Language Centre Introduction The English Language Centre (ELC) was established in 2019. The vision was to bring all English Language Instructors serving as language experts in 8 different faculties of UCP at one centralized platform to enhance English Language Teaching (ELT) practices. The ELC uses the blended approach through Skill based Language Teaching in the courses being offered in both on campus and online mode. The ELC catered to 13,332 students across 8 Faculties during the Academic Year 2020-2021 and this number is continuously growing. The Centre aims to enhance students' language and critical thinking skills to enable them to competently cope with the course material in English, across disciplines. Our courses comprised English 1, 2, and 3 and those were what emerged as the departments within the Centre. Two Team Leads were placed in charge of each department. English 1 constituted Functional English Courses, Reading and Comprehension, and Basic English Writing, later (Fall 2020) it also included Basic Writing Skills. English 2 initially started off with the Communication Skills Course and Business Communication and Report Writing was added in Fall 2020. English 3, Technical Writing and Presentation Skills was initially offered according to discipline specific needs to 4 faculties FOMS, FOIT, FLS, & FOL. In Spring 2020 FOS, SAF, FADP and FMCS courses were added and now we are also teaching this course in FOE. Strengthening teachers' pedagogy is imperative to the success of any programme. To address this area on ongoing basis a mentoring team was developed of the seasoned teachers with a programme with relevant tools to observe teachers and provide constructive feedback for continuous improvement. Strong language skills are imperative to both academic and professional success. To ensure that our students would get the required support to meet this goal, a Language Skills Centre was piloted in Fall 2019. This was based on the Common European Framework for References for Languages (CEFR) levels, an international system with global recognition. Both of these are innovations that set apart the services offered through ELC at UCP from other institutions.

This is certainly the most important course that you'll study during your time at university and probably, one that you'll have a fun time studying. ELC Success Stories Areesha Arif: (semester 5) This is Areesha Arif, a student of BS-Media and communication Studies at FMCS. Right after I joined UCP, I became president of a NGO -Wall of hope (UCP chapter 2019-2021). After studying courses like mass communication and speak well, my public speaking has gotten even better. I also got selected as Goodwill Ambassador for Youth, Peace, Climate Change, and Women Empowerment in an international event "World Youth Summit for Peace”. I'm currently selected for a US student exchange program scholarship (UGRAD- FALL 2022) and I believe that my selection has a lot to do with what I learned from my university and teachers helping us analyze situations and being consistent. Hisham Talib Qureshi My name is Hisham Talib Qureshi from the batch of Fall '16 and I graduated as an Electrical Engineer. UCP had been a period of growth for me. Other than the technical mumbo jumbo of engineering, UCP helped me develop additional skills which complement my profile. The English courses outlined in my degree roadmap had 3 main components - Basic Applied English, Technical Writing, Communication Skills. They set up the basic foundation you needed to be good at English. It is the third course which brings it all together. Communication Skills is less about English and more about how to communicate effectively. It taught me how to empathize with people by being open in my communication and active in my listening. It taught me how to prepare for interviews and what the hiring party looks for within a candidate other than technical skills. It is a course I enjoyed studying and one which really rounded me off as being literate.

In compliance with National Command & Operations Centre (NCOC) and Higher Education Commission (HEC), UCP management took vaccination of students as a priority of highest importance. We wanted to ensure our students face no issues during the vaccination process, are vaccinated timely and no compromise is made on their safety therefore, with the help of Primary & Secondary Healthcare Department, Government of Punjab, a COVID-19 Vaccination Camp was setup inside UCP for 20 days. Other than UCP, only Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) and University of the Punjab were extended this favor by the Punjab Government. 4 month Vaccination Campaign 16,500+ Students Vaccinated 4900+ Student Vaccinated On-Campus On the last day of the vaccination camp, a closing ceremony was arranged where Punjab Health Minister, Dr. Yasmin Rashid, addressed the audience.

To make it more convenient for the candidates, the online payment method has been introduced in the admission application. Now the applicants have 3 different modes (Designated Banks, On Campus & Online) through which they can pay the application processing fee/Semester fee and they can choose the method according to their convenience. Online documents verification has also been introduced at the backend so candidates can get their fee challan online after selection and applicants can pay the fee online without visiting the campus. Due to COVID-19, we made sure to conduct our admission test online for undergraduate and graduate programs. The special URL was created for this purpose to make it convenient for candidates to appear in the test without any difficulty. Impact of the above-mentioned Changes • • • An online admission application including online document verification, online admission test, online application processing fee challan issuance and payment, online semester fee challan issuance and payment after the selection made it easy for the applicants to complete their application process without any difficulty and without visiting the campus. We can see this impact of these changes in the increase of our number of applications each term as with everything available online, candidates do not need to commute for anything and it is easier for them to apply for admissions Availability of offering 3 preferences at the time of admissions has a huge impact on our number of applications. We do not charge extra money for that and when an applicant is applying, they are usually confused among options and at UCP they can apply for 3 programs of their own choice and change their preferences afterwards. It is a facility which is giving them a sense of trust that they can change their program at any time once they are selected in the merit list Due to the above-mentioned changes, we have seen an increase in our admission application number in past three years. 14,575 Fall 2019 Total No. of Applicants 16,939 Fall 2020 2,018 Spring 2019 2,452 Spring 2020 17,303 Fall 2021 2,940 Spring 2021 Virtual Learning Environment In wake of COVID 19 outbreak, Pakistan government issued strict directives to close down all the educational institutions.

A policy has been made to govern the procedure for smooth conduct of these visits. Industry and business are all about applied knowledge. The purpose of industry visits by students is to familiarize them well with processes and procedures being used by their program relevant industry, in order to relate their theoretical knowledge with what is being taught in their classrooms. Establishing Industrial Advisory Board (IAB) across all the Faculties The importance of Industry Academia needs no emphasis. Universities are therefore increasingly reaching out to industry to further their role and create societal impact. In this regard, Universities are establishing Industry Advisory Boards (IABS) across their various academic departments / faculties and UCP is no exception. This policy document obligates each Faculty at UCP to establish IABS in their respective faculties. The main role of the IAB is to assist and advise the faculty in its efforts to achieve excellence in all the programs being offered under its umbrella. The IAB comprises external representatives from key organizations / industries who can provide a strategic input to the faculty on academics, research, placements etc. from industry's standpoint. 108 Annual Report 2021#58Student Discounts & Scholarships In line with UCP's vision and aligning with UN SDG goals of 'Education for all' and 'Access to Quality Education' UCP has a very comprehensive discount and scholarship policy with more than 7 percentage of our student receiving 100 percent scholarships.

One would not find a proper, well-recruited, well-reputed, well-defined and well-organized department for the promotion of community service at any university in Pakistan and most probably in South Asia. Volunteers in Service (VIS) Department encompasses many-fold activities, all of which are directly focused at providing social benefit to the community and sensitizing our youth to step up to the occasion, to work as volunteers, and to do something for those who find it hard to help themselves. VIS department not only facilitates students in volunteering through different Partner Organizations-POs, including national and international organizations but also plans and executes some field activities termed as “Campaigns". These are designed according to the need of the society or at the time of some natural calamity. Some of the campaigns that the VIS department has planned, organized, and executed are as follows: P/ Punjab Volunteer Network (PVN) Provincial Network for Promotion and Advocacy of Voluteering 111 Annual Report 2021 • Plantation Drives Covid Prevention / SOP Awareness Campaign • Clothes Collection and Awareness Campaigns Deewar-e-Aagehi (Wall of Awareness, Spreading Awareness on Social Issues) • Dengue Preventive Spray and Free Test • Flood Relief and Rehabilitation Activities 112 Annual Report 2021#60• Fund-Raising for IDP (in support of Government of Pakistan) • International Day for Disabled Persons (with Punjab Welfare Trust for Disabled) • Deewar-e-Meharbani (Wall of Kindness for clothing the deserving) International Memberships In last few years, UCP-VIS has got the various international memberships and National Representations.

This network is meant to not only promote volunteerism among youths but also to advocate it to Government as well. Punjab Volunteer Network has placed University of Central Punjab (UCP) in the front seat as a leader in promotion of volunteerism. UNV has recognized the role of UCP in social development and promotion of volunteerism and hence joined hands with UCP-VIS to form PVN. 113 Annual Report 2021 Global Volunteering Initiative (UCP-GVI) Deputy Director VIS Muhammad Hammad Ur Rehman, during his participation in 16th International Volunteer Conference 2019 held at Bangkok, Thailand had some side meetings with organizations from around the world and 4 different organizations came to consensus with UCP- VIS to join hands for a global volunteer exchange program.
