He is exceptionally well-connected, resourceful, and possesses a remarkable ability to navigate complex networks across the globe. His outstanding people skills enable him to build meaningful relationships and foster collaboration effortlessly. I deeply value Raihan as both a trusted colleague and a dear friend, and I look forward to partnering with him on future endeavors.

So far, Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam has been a tenacious, persistent, hard worker, and full of motivation, and always provides motivation to young people to continue working and creating. "The spirit to always participate in international activities is very active and responsible in work," He is very polite and kind. I have known him for more than 15 years (2010-2025).

I had the privilege of working with Mr. Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam, the Deputy Director of International Affairs and Alumni Affairs at Daffodil International University, Bangladesh. His unwavering support and dedication made my experience as an international visitor truly exceptional. Mr. Raihan-Ul-Islam’s leadership and understanding of the challenges faced by visitors ensured that we felt welcomed and well-supported. His proactive approach, empathy, and commitment to fostering an inclusive learning environment left a lasting impact. I’m grateful for his efforts and the positive difference he made during my time at DIU.

I have known Daffodil International University (DIU) since 2015 through the Erasmus Mundus LEADER Project. Mr. Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam, a key member of DIU's International Affairs, showed great leadership and organizational skills during the SQUARES project’s Full Consortium Meeting 2025 in Bangladesh. His creativity, strategic mindset, and global perspective make him an excellent project manager.

Mr. Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam has been a valued Senior Member of Children's Film Society Bangladesh (CFSBD) since 2011. I first recognized his talent in 2010 as a young and rising filmmaker who created several short films, and I was particularly impressed by his film, ‘Point of View’. He has also played a key role in co-organizing our flagship event, International Children’s Film Festival Bangladesh, as a venue coordinator. We have screened many films made by him at our festival for several years. His creativity, storytelling, and ability to bring ideas to life on screen are truly remarkable.

I first met Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam in 2019 when I attended the 8th Convocation of Daffodil International University as a Convocation Speaker. Our discussions on HEIs, opportunities, and internationalization spanned the entire visit—almost airport to airport. His dedication to DIU’s global presence as a proud alumnus was truly remarkable. Over the years, we’ve met at ASEF, EAIE, AUAP, etc., and I’ve witnessed his strong networking, growth mindset, and commitment to global collaboration. Wishing him continued success as a true global citizen.

Raihan is not only an incredibly intelligent and professional individual but also a warm and loving person who has treated me like family from the very start. His kindness, generosity, and care have made me feel like I belong to his world, and I consider him a brother. His friendship is a true gift, and I am deeply grateful for the way he has embraced me as part of his life. Raihan's genuine love and respect are qualities that make him not just a colleague, but a lifelong friend and a true brother in spirit.

I believe true networking is not just about exchanging contacts, but about building friendships that inspire growth, collaboration, and lasting impact. I met Mr. Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam during my visit to Daffodil International University in Bangladesh. We had several productive meetings and discussions, exchanging ideas on higher education, prospects, and mutual program development, as well as reconnecting at the EAIE Conference. As a young leader at DIU, he has been instrumental in fostering international partnerships with universities worldwide. I look forward to continuing to support him and his team in achieving even greater success.

Greetings from HEC Montreal, Canada! I have known Mr. Syed Raihan-Ul-Islam for eight years, since he and his team first organized the International Social Business Summer Program (ISBSP) in 2018 at DIU in Bangladesh, where I participated as a Resource Speaker. It was the first program of its kind in Bangladesh. Since then, we have collaborated over the years on the Social Business Creation (SBC) competition, where he and his team have significantly contributed to the growth, participation, and management of regional events. Under Mr. Syed’s leadership, our collaborations have always been successful. He is hardworking, strategic, and consistently fosters strong partnerships.
