A Message from Atekelt Abebe Ketema (PhD)

“ I’m Atekelt, A proud Alumna of BIT-BDU. My BDU journey traced back from Peda as a freshman student in September 1998, when BDU had 2 main campuses named Peda & Poly. After one semester of adventures and memorable time at Peda campus, we engineering students were transferred to Poly, later called Engineering Faculty. Succeeding 5 hard and quality years, I graduated with a BSc degree in Civil Engineering in 2003 and continued to serve my own institution as Assistant Lecturer.

Since 1998, the current BIT-BDU, the former Engineering faculty, has been my school, workplace, home, community and remains part of me. I couldn’t imagine myself without poly. Most of my academic, social, spiritual and emotional strengths have been molded from the BIT-BDU community. I’m an ever proud alumna of BIT-BDU and will continue to be passionate about its advancement wherever I’m currently stationed.

I have loyally served BIT-BDU for 16 years at different academic and administrative positions (2003-2019). For the past 3 years I’ve been working as Senior Research Data Scientist at one of the Global Financial institutions abroad. I always wish and committed to contribute toward the outstanding of BIT-BDU in all aspects.

I also would like to commemorate and acknowledge our late BIT-BDU teachers and Colleagues: Mr. Gebeyehu, Mr. Kasaye, Mr. Fasil, Mr. Yibelital, who have changed so many of our lives as mentor/colleague/friend for the better and contributed much for the BIT-BDU brand, though they have gone so fast without getting enough recognition. “
