Abstract
Sultana Nahar of the Department of Astronomy has been involved for the last 20 years in enhancement of educational excellence and research in STEM areas in Bangladesh. She gives lectures, collaborates, provides books and journal articles, and establishes recognition for excellence in teaching, research, and academic performances. Such work facilitates OSU to write proposals and in engaging in programs under its globalization objective. One example of it is the STEM faculty training program under Obama-Singh Knowledge Initiative award.
