Welcome to Fall 2015!

Today is the first day of classes for Fall 2015. I would like to welcome all of you to this new semester. Please feel free to browse through my blog. Please visit this blog from time to time for important course updates and notifications of general academic/extra-curricular events. 

In addition to the blog, I would maintain Google Classroom from this semester. All the resources, such as, powerpoint slides, project guidelines/files, practice problems, etc. would be available in the Google Classroom. To access Google Classroom you need to get/activate NSU email address which is by default NSUID@northsouth.edu. You must use your northsouth email to get access to the Google Classroom. You would need to use a CODE (which I will share in class) to enrol into your Google Classroom setup. So, you are all requested to get/activate your northsouth.edu email address as soon as possible. Please email me if you face any problem.

Hope you would have a wonderful semester. Please get hold of the text books as soon as possible and start reading! Best of luck for the semester. Thanks.

ASEF Young Leaders Summit: A Great Opportunity for NSU Students!

It is of great pleasure in informing you about ASEF’s next education project for students of North South University.

In conjunction with the 12^th ASEM Foreign Ministers’ Meeting (ASEM FFM12), ASEF will organise the ASEF Young Leaders Summit(#ASEFYLS) on the topic of “Entrepreneurship and Youth Employment” from 1-5 November 2015 in Luxembourg. Hosted by the University of Luxembourg and the European Investment Bank, ASEFYLS is for young thinkers and doers between the ages of 18-30 from 51 ASEM member countries. The participants will question and explore how the entrepreneurial vein can trigger and nourish job-creation, mobility and social cohesion in Asia and Europe. Constructive dialogue, hands-on skills development and a Call for Action addressed to the ASEM Foreign Ministers are the core elements of this collaborative and highly intercultural Programme. The Summit closes with a joint reception for the ASEM Foreign Ministers, their delegations as well as the Young Leaders Summit participants at the EIB.

ASEF has just launched the Open Call for Application and warmly invites you, the students of NSU, to apply. The deadline for application is 20 September 2015. The organisers will cover accommodation, meals and provide a travel subsidy for the selected participants.

Impotant Update!

I (along with my wife & eldest daughter) was recently diagnosed with Dengue. We are receiving treatment at a local hospital and recovering gradually, however still very weak. I have been instructed to stay away from internet/pc/cellphone as much as possible. So, it will not be a long post! 

I hope you understand it's not practically possible for me to check and reply to every email at this point. Sunday was the first exam day and the first office day of the week, so could not make any alternet arrangement which was possible for Monday exams. Anyway, here is the plan for people who still have unfinished tasks.

FIN440 final exam will be held at 11 am @ NAC514 on Thursday (20th August). For those of you who missed other various exams earlier, please contact Dept. of Acct n Fin  secretary Ms Farzana Sultana by visiting her dept office physically for your makeup exam arrangements. Those of you who still could not submit your reports, do that as soon as possible to her. If you have any especial issues, you may let her know. Please be patient and understanding when you approach her with any request as she is a very busy person serving so many dept faculty members and students.

I am extremely sorry for all the inconveniences you have experienced so far. Please try to forgive me and keep us in your prayers. Thank you.

Final Exam Schedule (Summar 2015)!
