What a milestone achieved! After years of sleepless nights, running within the university premises, and staying up to make final touches, a story started when those who were infants, being pushed to kindergarten, to find a place in the dynamic world would come a season finale. Smiles, like flickers of joy, sparked not only in the eyes of the students but also on the faces of their parents, guardians, relatives, and well-wishers symbolizing success. A class of 502, from different disciplines: IT, Business, Engineering, Multimedia, and Health Science, it was.
The graduates warmed the seats of the mighty Hotel in celebration of hard work, dedication, and excellence as they welcomed speeches from top-domain academicians. It was such a privilege for them to share a room with an inspirational Dr. John Chrysostom Muyingo, Honorable Minister of Higher Education, and the esteemed Vice Chancellor KM Mathew and Chairman of the Board, Varghese Mundamattam. These joined in to applaud their journey and witness the beginning of countless inspiring stories.
It was not just an ordinary one. A masterpiece, to act as a guiding light for inspiring scholars, offering practical tips, motivation, and wisdom was launched. "Elevate: Navigating the PhD Journey with Purpose and Passion", an inspiring and insightful book authored by none other than DR. Giju Paul, Registrar of ISBAT University.
The roots of education are sweet yet its fruits sour, they
say. But it is a tale that can only be told when the celebrants put the books and
gowns aside and step into the land where failure is only a lesson. Crossing the
finish line only means a new race is set to begin. But the question is, are
their laces tied?
These are all questions that have been answered a thousand times,
with statistics from credible sources. That is why among the graduates was the
Managing Director, UBC, Winston Agaba who secured a master's degree in Business
Administration. This not only proved age only a number but also stamped ISBAT University
as the place where dreams have been molded from clay to glass houses.
