Independent University, Bangladesh (IUB) Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) for
Selecting the Award Winners to be Recognized in the Convocation
1. Introduction
The students can be recognized for several accomplishments including their improved academic standing, demonstration of their love of learning, or because they have shown exemplary attitude and behavior. Some students will lead by example while others will be determined to learn, no matter what the obstacles are. IUB takes great pride in discovering numerous ways the students should be recognized.
Research has proven that recognition of one’s efforts is more highly valued than money.
When it comes to academics, it is customary in our society to recognize the highest achievers:
the Valedictorian, the All-rounder, and the best performers in various academic and non- academic activities. It is, therefore, necessary to initiate recognition programs that honor all types of students, especially those who might not normally receive acknowledgment for their efforts.
The purpose of these awards is to select the best of the best students in various fields. We hope this would create meaningful moments of recognition which inspire others and reinforce the behavior that led to the reward.
With that in view, IUB management would recognize its best students in various academic and non-academic categories from the participating students in the Convocation.
2. Purpose of this SOP
The purpose of this Standing Operating Procedure (SOP) is to provide guidelines for selection of the awardees and lay down criteria for selecting the best possible student as award winners of an academic year.
