Farewell 2021
|

There are some endings which bring in a burst of happiness and a sense of fulfillment. Watching our students graduate into young professionals and march out into the world was one such beautiful occasion for Brainware University. On July 10, 2021 the various departments bid adieu to the graduating students with a heart brimming with the hope that they will remember all that they have learnt to create a happy career in the future. This virtual farewell was a moment to come together as members of the Brainware family and celebrate the journey that led us all here.
The farewell ceremony began with the Head of Departments’ message for students, wishing them luck for all their future endeavors. This was followed up by a series of cultural performances put on by the junior batches where through all the songs, poetry, and dances we remembered the happy times spent in the campus. The pandemic did distance us physically but even on the virtual platform it felt as if we all were connected by the love that we share for the university.
The final part of the event consisted of students sharing advice and messages for their juniors. They also shared their favourite university memories with us. Though this was a goodbye we know we shall meet again. We are proud to have such accomplished students as part of our alumni. Brainware University wishes all our outgoing students heartfelt congratulations on their success and we hope to witness you scaling new heights in your career.
