Why PAN and it matters

The idea for the Poly Alumni Network (PAN) was initiated in honor of our beloved brother Tesfahun, whose passing inspired former and current students of Bahir Dar Institute of Technology to establish this association.

PAN fondly remembers Engineer Tesfahun, Tagel, Ephrem, and Kefyalew as founding members, whose vision and dedication laid the foundation for our network.
