The University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) organised a virtual orientation programme for the freshers of Fall 2021 on Thursday (Oct 21) at 10:00am on the Zoom platform.
In his speech, the chief guest, Zaved Akhtar, Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director of Unilever Bangladesh Ltd, said, “You really realise that collectively as a team cheer up each other and push each other, and that’s when best comes out and don’t let the other person fall behind.”
ULAB’s Acting Vice-Chancellor Professor Shamsad Mortuza welcomed the freshers and gave an overview of ULAB. He urged the new students to always seek knowledge and to present a united front as members of the ULAB community.
He also encouraged the newcomers to join clubs to achieve leadership qualities.
Special advisor to the ULAB Board of Trustees, Professor Imran Rahman, said to the freshers, "You come here as a dependent young man or woman, but it is our job to make sure that you get ready for the real world."
He cites online classes as an opportunity, because degrees can be taken from various famous universities of the world using online platforms.
The programme was coordinated by ULAB's Student Affairs office.
