The ceremony was held on the heels of the historic 2013 Aga Khan University Convocation which was graced by the presence of the Chancellor of AKU His-Highness the Aga Khan.

The chief guest of the ceremony was Dr Javed Butler, a graduate of the AKU Medical College currently working as a professor of medicine at Emory University, Atlanta, USA.
