Navigating College: My Semester-by-Semester Journey Starting college was a thrilling adventure, and I made a plan from the 1st to the 8th semester to make the most of it. 1st Semester: Laying the Foundation I focused on adjusting to my new environment by attending orientation, joining clubs, and making friends. I explored introductory courses to understand my interests and strengths. 2nd Semester: Building Momentum Academics were my priority, but I balanced it by joining extracurriculars. Meeting with academic advisors helped me stay on track and make informed decisions. 3rd Semester: Making Decisions This was the time to declare my major. I selected a field that aligned with my interests and strengths. I built relationships with professors and peers while seeking internships for practical experience. 4th Semester: Deepening Knowledge I tackled core courses in my major and developed skills like programming and research. I started planning summer internships to enhance my learning experience. 5th Semester: Professional Development I attended career fairs and workshops to build my professional network. I also focused on specialized courses and research, building a strong resume and online presence. 6th Semester: Gaining Practical Experience This semester was about applying theoretical knowledge through advanced courses, research projects, and professional certifications. I also worked on soft skills and improved my portfolio. 7th Semester: Preparing for the Future My senior thesis or capstone project took center stage. I attended industry events, prepared graduate school applications, and applied for jobs while building my professional network. 8th Semester: Transitioning to the Next Chapter I focused on securing a job or grad school admission while reflecting on my achievements. Maintaining connections with peers and mentors proved essential as I transitioned to post-college life. #HIMATEKTROITS #OKKBKELEKTROITS2024 #LifePlandiITS @Laurensius Duta

Ever since I started my academic journey in the first semester, I have realized how important careful planning is to achieving my long-term goals. It was during that first semester orientation that I became acquainted with college life, adjusted to a new schedule, and developed effective study habits that would be the foundation of my future academic success. My main objective was to fully understand the principles of telecommunications in order to have a strong basis for my future academic aspirations. I will started to widen my horizons in the second semester by participating in a variety of student activity unit. Through these experiences, I was able to better understand and hone my abilities in addition to delving deeper into my hobbies. I started refining my technical abilities and forming deep bonds with teachers and fellow students during this period. I started looking for internships because I knew how important it was to get real-world experience and thought that these would be a great way to supplement what I was learning in class and gain insight into how my studies would be used in the real world. As the third and fourth semesters approached, my academic path grew increasingly narrowly focused and specialized. My schedule started to become dominated by MBKM program research projects and advanced classes, which gave me the opportunity to focus more on my areas of interest. My academic and professional portfolios have greatly benefited from this time, as I have meticulously selected experiences that correspond with my long-term professional objectives. Assisted by my managers and former students who had made a smooth transfer to the industry, I started developing a thorough career plan that would direct my future pursuits. Two of the most important semesters of my undergraduate career were the fifth and sixth. I embraced leadership positions in HIMA, accepting more difficult duties requiring critical thinking and inventive problem-solving. These encounters helped me become a better leader and equipped me to handle the difficult tasks that were ahead. At the same time, I want to internship at a large telecommunications company. The seventh and eighth semesters marked the end of my academic career, and I turned my attention to carrying out the carefully thought-out plans I had created over the years. My undergraduate thesis turned became the main focus of my work, which required commitment and tenacity to finish. In order to get ready for the move into the working world, I actively looked for job openings and went to professional seminars at the same time. After gaining experience and knowledge over the course of eight semesters, I feel better prepared and confident to tackle difficulties outside of the university setting. More than just a degree has been attained during this academic journey, it has been a life-changing experience that has made me a more capable and self-assured person who is prepared to face the future with hope and

During Adib's sophomore year, things seemed to be falling into place. He aced an interview with GE for an internship, and they offered him the position. It felt like a dream come true—until the offer was revoked after they discovered he was an international student. This setback was tough, and it wasn’t just GE. At the job fair, the reality became clear: 90% of the companies weren’t willing to hire international students. As the challenges mounted, doubts began to surface. Adib questioned whether coming to the U.S. had been the right choice and whether he should have followed a more traditional path. However, just when things seemed bleak, he discovered hackathons. These competitions became more than just an opportunity to showcase skills—they offered a way to break through barriers and became a pivotal turning point in his journey. Recognizing that hackathons were nearly non-existent in Bangladesh, Adib saw an opportunity. He knew that bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application was crucial for ambitious Bangladeshis to succeed, without having to leave their homeland. This realization led to the organization of HackCSB, an international hackathon designed to serve the 280 million Bangladeshi diaspora worldwide. The vision was to ignite a much-needed hackathon culture in Bangladesh, fostering innovation and transforming the country’s education sector. We are grateful to: - Tamzid Islam, Seeam Shahid Noor, and Nuzhat Minhaz for sharing their inspiring journeys from Bangladesh to top institutes in the U.S. - Vidyasagar, Noah Orhner, Gaurav, and others for their expertise. A special shoutout to Ravi for going above and beyond. - BUET, IUT, Brac University, and many more for helping us reach a wider audience. - The Financial Express Bangladesh, Dhaka Tribune, The Bangladesh Post, and Short Stories for covering HackCSB. While HackCSB may have kick-started the promotion of international hackathons in Bangladesh, we hope this is just the beginning, with many more to follow!

📈 Rochester Institute of Technology is bucking the trend with almost a quarter more grads employed within 6 months than the national norm. How are they doing this? 🤔 🔎 Put simply, they’re giving graduates more than a degree. They’re giving them experience. 🛠 Experience proves to employers that recent graduates not only understand their specialization, but they know what it means to apply it successfully. 🏫 Of all the universities in the USA, only a handful are doing this. And students are paying the price. 📈 We at Extern know that to set students up for success sooner, more universities need to follow the lead set by RIT. Who will? #workexperience #externships #RIT
