Indulge Yourself
The first session of the Mind to Mind programme was successfully concluded on the 7th of February 2023 with the participation of Prof. Athula Gnanapala, Dean, FMS, and senior and junior lecturers of the faculty at the faculty premises. The Mind to Mind programme is a series of sessions themed on “open your mind, strive for excellence” aiming to provide a platform for the faculty members to accumulate knowledge, gain and share insights from our experts for further career development and strengthen the research culture.
The speaker of the first session of the Mind to Mind programme was Dr. Dinesh Fernando. Dr. Dinesh Ferenando is a senior lecturer attached to the Accountancy & Finance Department of FMS. He recently completed his PhD in International Relations at the International University of Japan, Niigata, Japan. Dr. Dinesh shared his audacious PhD journey on the topic “Indulge Yourself” reminding us to pursue what we want with passion and love. Accordingly, he shared his knowledge and experiences from what he has achieved within the three years of his PhD journey which was very interesting, insightful and motivating especially for the academics who are willing to pursue their PhD in the near future. The programme is scheduled to conduct on the first Tuesday of each month. A heartfelt thanks is extended to Prof. Athula Gnanapala, Dean, FMS for his immense support and commitment towards initiating and making this programme a sterling reality for the use of future generations in our faculty. Further, a special thanks go to Prof. Jayantha Dewasiri for his excellent role in advising this concept and the organizing committee for the effort put forward to ensure that the programme proceeds smoothly and meets the expectations of the fraternity. The concerted efforts from all the parties are highly appreciated.
