Honoring Our Pioneers
A digital memory space dedicated to preserving the stories, voices, and immense sacrifices of MIST students who stood on the side of justice and reform.
Shykh Aashhabul Yamin
Martyr • Computer Science (CSE-21)
Yamin was an incredibly brilliant and energetic student in MIST's Department of Computer Science and Engineering. He was beloved by all classmates for his helpful nature, quick learning abilities, and vibrant spirit. He laid down his life while defending the values of freedom and justice.
Md. Rakibul Hussein
Martyr • Mechanical (ME-11)
Rakib was a charismatic alumnus of MIST batch 2013 (Mechanical Engineering). Despite having graduated and working as a professional engineer, he returned to the student marches, driven by his lifelong commitment to standing beside people in need. He fell hours before victory.
Our Mission & Purpose
Our platform serves as an open space for MISTians to share their poetry, essays, first-hand experiences, and reflections. The student community at MIST has historically been a hub of scientific curiosity and excellence, but during the historic events of July and August 2024, our students proved they also held deep, unshakable courage.
By building this digital memorial, we make sure that our classmates, seniors, and alumni who paid the ultimate price are not reduced to simple names on a wall. We recount their days, their humor, their quick coding skills, their friendly guidance, and their absolute bravery.
