What we care about
Community
Most of what we do is getting people into one room. You don't need to know anyone to come.
Culture
We mark the days that matter in Bangladesh, like Boshontoboron and Victory Day, and explain them to anyone who asks.
Growth
Students run the club and learn as they go. Members can perform at our cultural events or apply for the exec at any time.
