Convocation for UAP, like any other university in Bangladesh, is a formal event celebrating the graduation of the students with a ceremony to hand over the certificates to the recipient by the Chancellor himself. It is a memorable day for the deserving students and a proud one for both parents and the teachers. The convocations follow the rituals of convocation gowns, processions, conferment of the degrees, degree celebrations, and speeches by distinguished speakers. Convocation key-note speech is also a major focus point among the speeches delivered. The events are generally day-long programs, often followed by a convocation dinner and a cultural program. These additional events are perfect opportunities to share jaunty moments with students, parents, faculty members, and have a chat in lighter tones about the future paths of the fresh graduates.
