convention of the National Communication Association (NCA). This prestigious event gathers communication scholars, practitioners, and educators from around the globe to engage in scholarly discourse, share research findings, and foster collaborations.

In addition to my volunteer responsibilities, I am also thrilled to attend the convention as a co-author of a paper that has been accepted for presentation. This recognition is a testament to the rigorous research and dedication that went into crafting our paper, and I am eager to share our findings with fellow attendees and experts in the field.

Being a part of the NCA convention, both as a volunteer and a presenter, offers a unique opportunity to immerse myself in the latest trends, theories, and practices in communication. I look forward to contributing to the success of the event, networking with peers and mentors, and gaining invaluable insights that will further my academic and professional journey in the realm of communication.

As part of my academic pursuits at Western Illinois University, I had the unique opportunity to undertake a week-long job shadowing at the WIU Foundation Office. This endeavor was aligned with a class project, wherein my primary objective was to observe and analyze the organizational communication system within the office.

Throughout the week, I was deeply immersed in the Foundation Office's operations, gaining firsthand insights into their communication strategies and practices. A significant aspect of my observation revolved around understanding how the office effectively communicates with alumni members and orchestrates fundraising initiatives. The experience was enlightening, shedding light on the intricacies of organizational communication in a real-world setting.

The entire experience was immensely rewarding, providing me with a blend of theoretical knowledge and practical application. I am grateful to the WIU Foundation Office for their openness to collaboration and for the invaluable insights I gained during my time with them. 

In 2018, in response to the pressing needs of the Rohingya community, we embarked on a significant humanitarian project in Ukhiya, Chittagong, Bangladesh. Our mission was clear: to provide immediate shelter and sustenance to those displaced by the crisis.

With the generous funding from Orbit iTech Ltd and G10 Printing and Press, Birmingham, England, we successfully established a village designed to accommodate 20 families, which translates to approximately 100 individuals. This initiative saw the construction of 20 permanent tents, ensuring that each family had a safe and secure place to call home.

Beyond shelter, our efforts also encompassed providing essential food supplies, ensuring that the nutritional needs of the community were met. The entire project was organized under the diligent guidance of the Tourist Club SUST, whose dedication and commitment were instrumental in bringing this vision to fruition.

We would be remiss not to express our profound gratitude to the Bangladesh Army. Their unwavering support, both logistically and on the ground, was pivotal in ensuring the smooth execution of the project. Their involvement underscored the collaborative spirit of this endeavor, bringing together various entities for a common humanitarian cause.

The Rohingya Rehabilitation Project 2018 stands as a testament to what can be achieved when compassion meets action. We remain deeply committed to our ongoing efforts in supporting the Rohingya community and are immensely thankful to all our partners and supporters who made this initiative possible.
