For the second consecutive year, a student from the University of Liberal Arts Bangladesh (ULAB) has won the prestigious Global Student of the Year Award at the Global Alliance World Public Relations and Communication Awards, continuing the university’s record of excellence on the global stage.
This year’s recipient is Ryan Morshed Talukder, an undergraduate student of ULAB Business School majoring in Accounting with a minor in Media Studies and Journalism, reads a press release.
He received the recognition for his outstanding leadership, communication initiatives, and impactful work in promoting health and well-being.
Last year, Anica Hossain, a student of ULAB pursuing a Master’s degree in Communication, won the same Global Student of the Year Award at the World Public Relations Forum (WPRF) held in Bali, Indonesia.
The Global Alliance World Public Relations and Communication Awards is a highly competitive international platform that recognises outstanding national and international public relations and communication management programmes and case studies.
This year, the competition received more than 89 entries from 19 countries, with awards presented across 24 categories.
Reflecting on his achievement, Ryan said his work in public health advocacy played a central role in earning the recognition.
“Growing up, I witnessed how malnutrition and poor health hold people back in Bangladesh. That inspired me to work with SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being to help ensure healthier lives for all. My plan was simple, to uplift others and help them live healthier and stronger lives,” he said.
The formal presentation of trophies will take place at the Global Alliance World Public Relations Forum 2026, scheduled to be held from 15 to 21 November 2026 in Abuja, Nigeria.
