President's Message
Mr. Md. Zillur Rahman
President
People's Republic of Bangladesh
I am delighted to learn that BRAC University is going to observe its 7th Convocation on 19 February 2012. On this happy occasion, I extend my heartfelt felicitations to all the graduating students, faculties, guardians and the university authority as well.
Convocation, a significant milestone for a university, provides the ample opportunity to confer degree upon the graduating students in befitting manner as well as evaluates the overall activities of the university. In this age of globalization, it should be the priority of any educational institution to make its learners efficient and competent enough to face the challenges of the competitive world. The government of Bangladesh is committed to ensuring quality of education and, therefore has formulated National Education Policy 2010 and enacted Private University Act, 2010 in this regard. I call upon all concerned to come forward in order to materialize the hopes and aspirations of the people. I believe the graduates who are passing out today will excel in their profession and contribute to the progress and prosperity of the nation.
I wish the 7th convocation of BRAC University a success. Khoda Hafez, May Bangladesh Live Forever.

Vice Chancellor's Message
Professor Ainun Nishat
Vice Chancellor
BRAC University
I congratulate the graduating students of the 7th convocation of BRAC University.
With each passing year, the progress and development of BRAC University have taken this institution forward on its march to academic excellence. Our innovative academic curriculum is constantly updated, enabling students to explore new fields of study and provide them with a much wider array of academic interest and pursuits. The last couple of years have witnessed the growing academic interest in the Undergraduate programmes in Pharmacy, Biotechnology, and Microbiology. Our graduates are testimony to the excellence of our academic programmes. Some of them are involved in cutting edge research, both in the social and natural sciences; others are teaching in reputed educational institutions, or creating a niche for themselves in the corporate world. Still others are pursuing higher education in some of the best academic institutions around the world.
I express my sincere gratitude for the guidance and counsel accorded to us by the Board of Trustees, and especially its Chairperson, Sir Fazle Hasan Abed KCMG. I convey my appreciation for the members of the Syndicate and the Academic Council for their continuous help and advice. I am also immensely obliged for the earnest cooperation we have received from our founding organization, BRAC, on a daily basis.
Once again, I convey my warmest congratulation to the graduates of this year. I urge you to march into the world where you will be tested, but also rewarded for your competence and devotion as you confront life's daily challenges. I express my thanks to the parents and guardians for their support and sacrifice. I pray for the success and happiness of the students receiving their degrees in this ceremony, and wish them all the best as they set out on their life's journeys.
