In July 2004, a great historic moment in the history of King Edward Medical College was made when it was granted a University status. The demand to upgrade KEMC as University was first voiced during the 125th Year Celebrations of the KEMC when Professor Khawaja Sadiq Hussain was the principal. Later on successive Principals tried their best to prevail upon the provincial government but without any success. Over recent years Professor Mumtaz Hassan kept his pressure and due to his dedication and efforts this dream for the KEMC has come true. The Principal, faculty members of the KEMCA and its Board of Management deserve to be congratulated. We are also thankful to President General Pervez Musharraf and Chaudhry Pervez Ellahi, Chief Minister Punjab in taking a special interest in making it happen. Let all Kemcolians work with more devotion and dedication to see this new University makes impact felt in the academic institutions all over the world.

The annual Social Get-Together for this year was held on 11September 2005, at the Rosebowl, Southampton.  It was attended by over 100 Kemcolians along with their families.
