Aspire! Award for Self-Understanding and Integrity
Published:
I am humbled to share that I received the Aspire! Award for my pursuit of building common ground through creative, thoughtful, and impactful projects in service to the community at Virginia Tech. In a breakfast banquet in honor of all Aspire winners, Chris Wise, Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs, introduced me to the audience by sharing my work on celebrating cultural richness with International Mother Language Day, innovating new ways to make international students’ lives easier in the early days, and supporting the community of Bangladeshi students in Virginia Tech with my skills, experiences, and leadership. The Aspire! Awards honor students, faculty, and staff who embody the Student Affairs’ Aspirations for Student Learning.
