Team Imperial March Makes Waves at DoE 2.0 Imrul Chowdhury Journalist Business competitions have become an integral area of interest for many university students as they allow them to apply the theoretical knowledge they learnt during their academic coursework and utilise it to solve real life business cases.

“From the very first round of DoE 2.0, it was really a great experience for us with new challenging cases at every round and competitors from all around the country,” said Naheen when asked about his experience. “We were excited about getting to the finale but also quite frightened, given it was only the second and biggest national final for our team till then.

BracU secures second place in Moot Court Competition Fardin Alam Journalist “2nd Professor Shah Alam Constitutional Law Virtual Moot Court Competition 2021”, organised by Empowerment through Law of the Common People (ELCOP) was held virtually from June 24th till June 27th, where 26 law schools submitted their memorials, and 16 were chosen for the oral counter. Although the virtual moot court differs in many ways from the physical moot court, ECLOP successfully organised the tournament without a hitch. After an intense battle among these sixteen law schools, Brac University became the runner-up. The team consisted of Tarazi Mohammed Sheikh (Freshman, LLB) and Nafisa Tabassum ( Junior, LLB) as the “Mooters,” Pinak Sarkar ( Junior, LLB) as the Researcher, and Md. Saimum Reza Talukder, Senior Lecturer, School of Law, as the team coach.

Tarazi became the best mooter among all

contestants and Nafisa secured the third position. Unlike Nafisa and Pinak, this was Tarazi’s second time participating in this competition. “I would say the overall experience was thrilling,” stated Tarazi when asked about her experiences.

“I had to manage new teammates ten days before the submission date. They did not have any experience in such competitions, so my coach and I both had to push them to the edge which helped me learn the importance of not giving up and staying intransigent, no matter how hard it gets,” she further added.

She also added, “Bookish knowledge alone will not help anyone to go further, but the precise command of applying them in both writing and speaking will. Furthermore, there is no second chance especially when you are a student of BracU’s School of Law - it is always a now or never situation”.

Consequently, they had

Sadman Farabi (Sophomore, BBS), a member of One Piece, expressed how captivating the first round was when they were tasked with the footwear industry. This massive opportunity helped them to survey the market deeply and collect insights thoroughly. They faced challenges - one being the time constraint, another being bombarded with ideas from various thought processes, and having to keep jotting them down and inevitably discard a lot of them.

Through teamwork and discussions, they managed to chalk out something unique which could satisfy the target market, and evidently, the judges, resulting in them being catapulted to the semifinals.

The road to the semis was not easy; their opponents were formidable. Teams from reputed institutions like Dhaka University IBA, Bangladesh University of Professionals, Jahangir University IBA, etc., took part in the competition as well. “The overall journey was amazing,” expressed Sadman when asked about the experience. “Without any hesitation I can say that the competition was really challenging but at the same time exciting. Moreover, we learned a lot which will definitely help us in the future,” he further added.

OPINIONS & ACADEMICS

Grading: where the old is new again

Priyong Sabastini Journalist Last year, with the unexpected arrival of the pandemic, the university chose to revise its grading policy to alleviate some of the enormous stress the students were facing. In removing all the minus grades, the students had a greater probability of attaining higher grades. However, as of the Summer 2021 semester, the university is reverting back to the original system.

Many students have shown dissent in regards to this decision, claiming how it still is difficult maintaining grades online. However, it is important to remember that this change was always temporary. At the outset of the pandemic, it was necessary. Online classes were alien and difficult. Now, nearly a year later we have come to better adapt. It may not be perfect, but we have come a long way. One student stated, “Honestly, I like having the grade A start from 85, but in reality, if we continued to give A grades as such, then the international value of our grades would regress.”

While this decision may not be the most convenient for some, the change in grading itself was an allowance for students to ease into this new online territory. Moving forward, it is important that relevant results and better-trained individuals are produced. Keeping the grading system as such would make it difficult to accurately identify the exact calibre of students. Regardless, a 10% leeway for error is not much. Both students and teachers need to find a midpoint to navigate forward as we are all still embedded in the still-alien online system.

In the grand scheme of things, reverting back was always the end goal, but the question was when. Realistically, there was never going to be a right time, but this is a necessary step for the university to maintain its academic standard on an international scale.

Missing out the Ambience: A Silent Tale of BRACU Campus Library

Post-pandemic friendship: is it a lost cause?

Sarah Nazia Chowdhury Journalist

Tahsin Farjana Journalist While the confinement of online classes and online semesters is clumping up the minds of BracU students, the library and the study hall on the campus remains somewhat forgotten. Almost two years have passed since the pandemic started, senior students are slowly starting to forget what it was like to spend time reading, studying, having subtle laughs between friends while group studying, or simply taking a nap in between class periods in the safe haven of the library and the study hall.

Additionally, for a fresher, there is no memory to forget in the first place, unfortunately. The library, however, never stopped from being the friend in need: e-books, articles and journals from any renowned sources can still be accessed via the BRACU library website, and a book circulation service has also been available during the pandemic. The functionality of the library is thus running uncompromisingly.

Nevertheless, as group studying and peer learning with faceless faces are never the same, the ambience of the library room and study hall is always missed by the BracU students. At least, for those that remember them.

Is genuine connection possible in the online world?

The coronavirus pandemic has profoundly impeded every semblance of normalcy in our lives. These unprecedented times have undoubtedly been grueling, but for a student the transition of an entire year without palpable social interaction is detrimental in uncountable ways. Throughout this period, a plethora of students initiated their university lives online, without even getting a glimpse of the campus. For a vast majority of them, one of the most arduous aspects of doing courses online for such a prolonged period is the inability to make good friends.

Iqra Ahmed (LLB, Sophomore) when asked about his personal feelings regarding his own experience shared that he had only gotten acquainted with a handful of people online. “It is really difficult to know the person when there is no tangible interaction,” he expressed. Adding to this, Ahmed laments for lost time and reveals, “I was from RS 53. I never knew back then that would be the last bit of an actual campus life”. Rusana Rubain (BBA, Sophomore) shares similar sentiments and feels that missing tarc has affected her entire university experience. “I am in my second year now, and yet I cannot say I have a solid friend circle, and I know this would not have been the case if I could have gone to tarc or at least spent more time on campus”.

Overall, irrespective of campus experience prior to the pandemic, the vast majority of the students were not very successful when it came to making friends online.

NextGen Leadership Program: a transformative opportunity for future leaders Nowshin Islam Journalist Over the past 50 years, the Ramon Magsaysay Award Foundation (RMAF) has been helping individuals narrow the gap in society through leadership. In essence, their Transformative Leadership Institute (RMTLI), recently launched a pioneering project in hope to harness such leadership potential through the NextGen Leadership Program. The program ran from June 15 to 25, and provided virtual mentorship opportunities for budding young leaders, between the ages of 18 to 25 years.

Nafisa Ali (Graduate, BBS) who is currently a Research Associate in the Research and Professional Development Centers (RPDCs) of Brac Business School was chosen to join this prestigious program.

She is the only person chosen from Bangladesh to partake in this opportunity.

Through the initiative, Nafisa along with her co-participants, were able to interact directly with several Ramon Magsaysay Awardees, who are renowned as Asia’s most transformative leaders.

The leaders taught them how to create designated platforms for impactful social innovations in their respective communities. The training was designed to inspire participants to harness their creative energies and address contemporary global challenges.

On April 22nd, the debating forum of International University of Business Agriculture and Technology (IUBAT) organised a public speaking competition titled “ELOQUENT 1.0” to honor talented student public speakers nationwide. The competition amassed students from various schools, colleges, and universities across the country to participate in two segments: English and Bengali speaking. Mohaimenul Solaiman Nicholas (Sophomore, ESS) from Brac University secured third place in the English segment of the competition.

In order to participate, contestants had to register by submitting a video of themselves giving a 3 to 4-minute speech on a predetermined topic. After the initial phase, selected students had to compete in three rounds. Before each round, Nicholas particularly used a basic approach of practicing a few sample speeches in front of the mirror. While this strategy was beneficial, he faced several challenging obstacles in his journey. “I knew I had to distinguish myself” said Nicholas. Eventually, his determination and passion allowed him to showcase his exceptional caliber to the judges.

“Precisely discrete” is a work ethic that inspires Nicholas to strive for excellence. When asked about how to develop competency in public speaking, he advises: “Believe that you know yourself better than any judge. Have faith in your abilities and enjoy what you are doing.”

On February 9th, BRAC James P Grant School of Public Health ( JPGSPH) and the Urban Programmes of World Vision Bangladesh (WVP) jointly organised a virtual innovation challenge titled “Urban Health Innovation Challenge 2021: Healthy, Safe and Inclusive Cities.” The competition aimed to promote healthy and safer cities by addressing the difficulties young people from urban slums face in accessing sexual and reproductive health services (SRHS).

The prize giving ceremony took place at the BRAC Centre Inn Auditorium on June 9th with Dr Sabina Faiz Rashid, the Dean and Professor of BRAC JPGSPH, Suresh Bartlett, the National Director at WVB, Bachera Aktar, Assistant Director, JPGSPH, Monju Maria Palma, Brigadier General Dr Md Sharif Ahmed, and Dr Jaynal Haque from the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare attending the event.

Among the 42 teams that participated in the challenge, six teams were from urban slums with one team consisting of participants from a gender diverse population. The winning team, Team Biroti, proposed the idea of providing young women in urban slums with an app that will create awareness and provide information about long-acting reversible contraceptive (LARC) methods. In addition to providing information about nearby healthcare facilities, the app would also consist of an inbuilt reminder system to notify users about upcoming dates for their next dose.

WVB and JPGSPH have expressed intentions to carry out practical applications of the ideas proposed by the winning teams. Further research will be conducted in order to construct these ideas into scalable urban health programmes.

RS Football Tournaments – A trip down the memory lane

Tahmeed Mahmud Samin Mahmud Khan Syed Mohammed Mostaque Billah Journalists To Brac University students who love football, Duranta has to be one of their favourite places in this world. The football tournaments that were held in this beautiful field still retain a special place in the hearts of the players that played on it and the spectators that viewed from a distance alike. BRACU Express had the opportunity to speak with three players from different Residential Semester (RS) batches to reminisce about their time playing in these tournaments.

A glimpse of the tournmanet from Spring 2016

The best memories for Md. Abu Naser Rajo (Senior, BBS) during his time at BracU are those related to RS, and a majority of them revolve around the RS League football tournaments. According to Rajo from RS44, the tournament provides a wonderful opportunity for former RS students to return to the Savar campus and play with their old friends. This also serves as an opportunity for students from various RS batches to develop bonds.

“Every day around 3:30, I used to sprint my way to Duranta, the field where we used to play football and played till Maghreb. When we had to leave TARC, Duranta made all of us extremely emotional. Being able to return to the field and stay on that campus for a day or two and see those familiar faces are some things that make RS tournaments so meaningful for me,” he said with a beaming smile.

Former Football Club BRAC University (FCBU) president and goalie, Nasik Ali Khan (Graduate,

CSE) of RS46, shared how they went the extra mile by organising not one, but three, consecutive tournaments with the first one being a futsal competition that received vast participation.

According to Nasik, playing football in RS as much as possible was fiercely exciting. Football players from Summer’17 and Spring’17 attended RS together in Fall’17 at their time, making each match highly competitive. The player’s auction was organised on stage in Anandapur amongst a large crowd and he still recalls the exciting ambiance of that day, along with memories of the days before the final match where he witnessed a fanbase grow around his team. He eventually led his team to win the first tournament. He misses his comrades and RS but the memories still bring joy to him.

Md. Anwarul Zahid Shuvro from RS41 (Graduate, BBS), reminisces his memory of the RS football tournament by mentioning one of the best goals from this tournament. Before the tournament, his team had already won at BRAC University Football League (BUFL) as a freshman, representing BRAC University Cultural Club (BUCC) and this led him to participate in the RS football tournament as an “item player”.

He remarked that his friends’ excitement watching the game inspired him to play. Lastly, he talked about the goal which came from a long pass from

his teammate, Mehrab. He ranked this goal as one of the best goals he ever scored in all his tournaments.

Shuvro said, “I miss my time at RS a lot, I might play football anywhere but nothing comes close to the RS tournament. The cheering from friends and sheer excitement cannot be matched.”

Reminiscing RS League Days, 2016

Among all other memories to be cherished in RS, many would agree that playing football tournaments were moments worth reliving. The tournaments witnessed victories, heartbreaks, pain, sweat and gifted thousands with everlasting memories. BE hopes that all future students of RS will get this opportunity to create their own memories.

ChessUni WCLeague Team Battle Saniya Ahmed Journalist The ChessUni WCLeague Team Battle is an international Chess tournament that took place on July 4th. This was the first time in which all continents participated in the tournament, according to its organisers, with a confirmed total of 415 participants hailing from 38 different universities from all over the world. This competition lasted for 1 hour and 40 minutes. Only 2 teams from Bangladesh were invited - including one sent in by the BRAC University Chess Club (BUCHC). BUCHC sent a 12-person team, consisting of students starting from freshmen to alumni. This team went on a hot streak in the competition by scoring a total 207 points, securing the seventh position worldwide and the first position amongst all Asian universities that participated.

“It was an outstanding experience to play against the chess minds of different universities around the world” said one of the players, Sarowar Hossain (Graduate, CSE). The most notable individual performances came from Anata (Sophomore, MNS) who ranked thirteenth among all the players, Shihab (Graduate, BBS) who came fifty-fifth, Muhit ( Junior, BBS) who came sixty-sixth, Mishkat (Alumni, CSE) who ranked sixty-ninth and Sadaath (Senior, CSE) who

secured the seventy-third position among all the participants.

The BracU team spent rigorous hours in prepping for the tournament, as exemplified by Sadaath, who felt that the best part of the entire experience for him was all the late-night preparation sessions he had with his team.

Though Chess is a rather individualistic sport, it is during the preparation when having teammates to bounce ideas off really shows its merit. This tournament was challenging for the players of BracU, as they were up against renowned international players, but they faced it without reservations and came out with heads held high.

The club president, Shabbir Hossain (Graduate, BBS) stated that a lot of labour went into ensuring their results and they had to keep an eye out for the time, the scores of their own and of other teams as well as looking out for their own gameplay. The efforts taken by the team in their preparation definitely bore fruit, as their stellar results indicate, and their dedication has highlighted both their and BracU’s name on the international stage.

The Father: The cruelty of time

See you live, space cowboy Priyong Sabastini Journalist

Khwaja Zohura Zanzabil Journalist

The main crew of Cowboy Bebop

Ever since the rhythmic notes of the now iconic song Tank! first graced television in 1998, Cowboy Bebop had already left its mark on the world. By cleverly blending different story genres and styles of music into one melting pot, Bebop was not only revolutionary for its time, but is so even today.

At its core, Cowboy Bebop is an extremely character-driven emotional roller-coaster ride that is subtle yet pervasive, hitting its full stride towards the end. Although some of its episodic plot points may be repetitive, the show is more than just action-packed bounty hunting. In fact, it is in the way Bebop is rooted in emotion that allows for it to shine. While its plot may be fairly simple, juxtaposed with its complex characters, Bebop expertly portrays the realness of each of their individual journeys of leaving their pasts, and liberating themselves. It is through its characters struggling towards a tomorrow, the show enmeshes itself in a bittersweet realness that is unlike any other.

The show does not overindulge in its seriousness however, and it is precisely this precise balance of humour and complexity, coupled with its unique soundtrack that has continued Bebop’s tour of influence in pop-culture, over 20 years down the line. The upcoming live-action adaptation itself is a testament to this fact, as we all eagerly await to see the once familiar space-cowboys yet again.

Based on the French play La Pѐre (2012), The Father (2020) is a drama film co-written by the French playwright Florian Zeller and Christopher Hampton. Starring Hollywood giants such as Sir Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman, the film follows the journey of an old man suffering from increasingly progressive dementia.

Hopkins plays the role of a troubled father in adamant denial of his worsening neurological condition. As with all of his characters, Hopkins provides the audience with alternating forms of endearing, frightening and helpless versions of his character with extraordinary brilliance.

Colman is equally on par with him in playing the role of a struggling, exasperated daughter torn between filial duty and practicality. What results is a heart wrenching rendition of human endurance, vulnerability, sacrifice and loss.

Each frame of the movie is shot with astounding ingenuity, with the plot being revealed in layers using dialogue and imagery. The soundtrack of the movie follows a classical, orchestral base and is used in perfect sync to invoke the targeted emotions in the audience.

With brilliant dialogue, clever cinematography, and extraordinary acting, The Father is one of those rare, exceptional movies that will Father (2020) remain on your mind for days to come.

Netflix adds a second part to Lucifer, season 5 Tanzila Kaokab Journalist After its extraordinary build up, Netflix has finally released the highly anticipated second part of season 5 of the critically acclaimed series Lucifer on May 28th — consisting of 8 new episodes. The series stars Tom Ellis as the fallen angel who rebelled against God and became the ruler of Hell. As he grew weary of ruling, he went on a vacation in Los Angeles where he became the owner of a nightclub and a consultant of a renowned law enforcement agency. Throughout his journey, he was accompanied by angels, demons, detectives, the police force and eventually, God Himself.

Lucifer is an amalgamation of multiple genres including fantasy, mystery, comedy-drama, and horror. The first part of season 5 premiered on Netflix last year in August. It dealt with the aftermath of Lucifer going back to rule the kingdom of Hell and how it affected the lives of his loved ones on earth. The first part ended with an epic battle among the angels, the devil and a demon, ending in a shocking cliffhanger. The second part picked up right where it left off, packed with drama, comedy, and thrill — having a beautiful portrayal of love and sorrow; all of which kept the viewers at the edge of their seats. With a brilliant screenplay and extraordinary acting, this show has won the hearts of many.
