A new chapter begins. π
Summer 2026 is here, and so is a fresh batch of students who just walked through the doors of the Department of Economics at North South University. Watching the orientation come together β the energy, the curiosity, the nervous excitement β reminded all of us why we love what we do.
This semester's incoming cohort spans our BS in Economics, MS in Economics, and Master's in Development Studies programs, and honestly? This group has something special about them.
The session was opened by Dr. Sakib Bin Amin, Professor of Economics and Director of our Accreditation Project Team, whose words struck just the right chord β hopeful, grounded, and full of genuine belief in what these students are capable of. Joining him were some of the sharpest minds in our department:
βΈ Dr. Ahmed Tazmeen β Associate Professor & Registrar, NSU
βΈ Dr. A. K. M. Waresu l Karim β Professor of Accounting & Finance and Dean, NSU School of Business & Economics
βΈ Dr. A. K. M. Atiqur Rahman β Professor of Economics & Director, Economic Research Platform
βΈ Dr. Gour Gobinda Goswami β Professor of Economics
βΈ Dr. Nazrul Islam β Professor of Economics & Director, Agribusiness Centre of Excellence
βΈ Dr. Ismail Hossain β Professor of Economics
The Young Economists' Forum (YEF) brought the energy up a notch with a presentation that had students genuinely excited about life beyond the lecture hall β clubs, events, research opportunities, the works.
One moment that stood out: incoming graduate student Misha Mahjabeen took the floor to share her story β what brought her here and what she hopes to build. It was a quiet, sincere moment that set a really beautiful tone for the semester ahead.
To every student who joined us this week β you chose something meaningful. This department has a long tradition of pushing students to think harder, ask better questions, and care about the world they're studying. We're proud you're here, and we're even more excited to see where you go.
Welcome to the NSU Economics family. This is only the beginning. π
