BUBT Professional Meetup

Let’s start the journey with my story

I graduated from BUBT, not BUET.

If I dig into my whole student life, all I can recall— I was a very bright student, but when the exam results came, I ended up getting beaten by my dad.

So you see, my intelligence was getting beaten by my dad.

My dad always told me that plowing land is not possible with a goat. It took me a while to understand that I had to become a cow. I had to take on the responsibility of my family.

With that experience of being beaten and telling everyone— I love you, I ended up entering the professional world through a tiny gap.

Year 2016

It rained. Sitting at my workstation, thinking about my university days. It’s been almost 3 years since I graduated. Miss my university days and everyone around me.

Later, I made some calls, trying to connect with some of my classmates over the phone. After talking for a few minutes, I decided to organize a meetup.

Why professionals meetup?

Like me, many students have graduated and stepped into professional life, each facing their own struggles or finding their place. But now, we’ve lost touch with each other.

Here, I’ll try to reconnect with each other, providing an opportunity for current students to meet real-life professionals and learn from their success or failure stories.

I hope that we, as BUBT Professionals, can build a strong community for BUBT, for ourselves.

Web design

I design and develop websites. Today, having an online presence is key. So, I quickly landing page with Jekyll and host it on GitHub.

Let’s Make Some Noise

After the website goes live, I reach out to some of my classmates and juniors, asking for their help. From now on, we’ll share stories about former BUBTians on social media using the hashtag #BUBTAwesome

The response from social media was incredible. Everyone was eager to join the event. However, seats were limited. We closed registration with 62 participants and 6 guests. It was a huge success!

Tee Design and Creation

The tee design concept is straightforward. The front part of the tee has a blank space. Everyone will write their name on that space using a permanent marker.

This way, you’ll know everyone’s name without having to ask. It helps break the ice and encourages people to step forward and start conversations.

I love making tees. My friend owns a garment factory, so I got his help. I even visited the factory to check the fabric quality for our yellow tees. I love the color and fabric.

The end

Just look at the pictures. No need to tell anything.
