It is an immense pleasure for me to know that the 2nd Volume (1st Issue) of the journal from the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) of Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP) titled ‘FASS INQUEST’ is going to be published. I really appreciate the effort and endeavours of all who have contributed to the process of sharing knowledge, ingenuity and scholarly insights through this journal.
Ever since the dawn of civilization, humans have been inclined towards knowledge and the quest for the truths that govern the way of our societies and world. This journey that we have embarked on this ever-changing world wouldn't be possible without research, its findings and proper documentation. I believe it is now up to us, the educators, practitioners and students to continue this expansion of knowledge through innovative research and documentation.
Within a short period, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences has been able to make a mark in the realms of education and research. I am quite sanguine that the ‘FASS INQUEST’ will surely add a new dimension to the growth of the faculty and the university.
BUP has been persistent in upholding its motto “EXCELLENCE THROUGH KNOWLEDGE” with unwavering efforts for augmentation of knowledge, development of resources, and enhancement of expertise. This university has emerged as a role model through its phenomenal execution of virtual teaching and learning strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Even in the midst of the pandemic, BUP continued to promote knowledge sharing through different initiatives including arranging webinars, virtual conferences, and publishing scholarly journals. This has generated much hope and zeal to push BUP to a greater height.
I sincerely appreciate the editorial board of the ‘FASS INQUEST’ for their commendable effort in making the issue a success. I also hope that this publication would continue to be published in the future days to come. I appreciate and congratulate all contributors/authors who have conducted quality research and published their work in this journal.
