Speaking as the chief guest, Prof Sayema urged the students to maintain healthy relationships with peers and faculty members. She encouraged them to remain open and communicative throughout their academic journey.

"University life is the best time to explore and connect with others, including friends and teachers. Good relationships ease our lives. There will be ups and downs. Ups and downs are inevitable, but we must not let them discourage us. This is the time to focus on developing our skills and enhancing our personal and academic growth," she added.
