A mood of excitement and festivity

CONVOCATION, as we all know is a solemn as well as a happy occasion that acknowledges the success of students for their sincere and dedicated hard work throughout their programme of studies. It is a proud moment which calls for celebration not only for the graduates but also their parents, the faculty and the staff of the university, who all contribute in making the institution a vibrant one.

The occasion was the fourth convocation of BRAC University where I was a student of English. The day was Thursday, February 5. The venue this year was BRAC's majestic complex at Rajendrapur. It is popularly known as BCDM which comprises a cluster of auditoriums, halls built around well manicured lawns with water sprouting out of fountains from artificially built lakes.

A mood of excitement and festivity prevailed throughout the occasion. Students expressed their feelings by saying that it was a great thing to be a graduate, but at the same time, they felt that they would miss their campus where they had spent four precious years of their lives and had made so many memories and several close friends. The experience they gained would linger in their minds for as long as they live.
