8th Year Anniversary

Eight years ago, volunteers from Mid-Main Community Health Centre in Vancouver started their collaboration with the College of Nursing at IUBAT. In February 2004, the Registrar of the Bangladesh Nursing Council (RN Hosne Ara Begum) inaugurated the nursing program as part of a function held at the IUBAT campus with a large number of senior members of the BNC present. This photo from that occasion shows IUBAT Vice-Chancellor, Dr. M. Alimullah Miyan (centre), National Professor Dr. M. R. Khan, as well as Bangladesh Health Project Director, RN Alex Berland. Eight years later we can claim 22 graduates who have been praised by national and international nurses and doctors for their excellent practice!

On-going collaboration between IUBAT and U Vermont

Each year BScN students from University of Vermont visit IUBAT College of Nursing with their instructor Dr. Rycki Maltby. In this photo students from UVm and IUBAT work together at the Centre for Woman and Child Health, our clinical teaching partner. (In case you are wondering about the winter head gear, January can be chilly even in Bangladesh!)

Nursing students at IUBAT Convocation

Previous visiting faculty can share the pride of these students and their families.  This was the third formal Convocation for the University and the first Convocation for the College of Nursing.  Twenty-two BScN graduates had their Certificates of Graduation confirmed by the Government of Bangladesh. In the first picture, they are shown with Pro-Vice-Chancellor Prof. Mahmuda Khanum and Chair, Health Sciences, Dr. Karen Lund. The other photo shows some of the graduates with IUBAT Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Alimullah Miyan as well as Chief Guest Prof Dr Gerald Reisinger, President of Upper Austria University of Applied Sciences.
