The MBA Association at University of Chittagong (MAUC) successfully organised "Leadership Catalyst Program (LCP): Empowering Future Change-Makers", an initiative designed to foster professional growth, enhance leadership capabilities, and build lasting networks among students, club executives, and alumni. The programme took place at the auditorium of the Faculty of Business Administration at University of Chittagong recently.
The event commenced with an inspiring opening speech by Mohammed Mayeen Uddin, organising secretary of the MAUC. Guests included ANM Wazed Ali, general manager of Abul Khair Group, and general secretary of MAUC along with other distinguished life members of the association.
