University Adventra Embracing adventure through challenges
This winter, BRAC University Adventure Club( BUAC) unveiled the curtains of a fascinating journey of events for adventure enthusiasts: University Adventra: The Legacy Chase 2024. Twenty-two teams, including BRAC University AUST, BUET, DU, NSU, EWU, Chittagong University(CU), Aeronautical Institute of Bangladesh(AIB), and Army Institute of Business Administration (Army IBA) took part in the event. The event featured multiple thrilling, barrier-breaking challenges that started on 20th December with a preliminary round and an online riddle segment—followed by an activity round and treasure hunt on 26th December at the Rainforest Eco-Resort, Gazipur. “Team Short Circuit” from AUST and “Team Unpredictable” from AIB performed best as required by the event’s importance of consistency and calmness in challenges. Hence, they were announced as Champions and Runner-up of the University Adventra 2024, respectively.
The inspiration emerged from the club’s core goal of pushing limits, embracing resilience, and sparking the adventurous spirit. The club hopes to reach a nationwide platform that will unite adventure enthusiasts. University Adventra focused on the thrill and strategically challenged physical endurance, intelligence, and teamwork to stand apart from traditional university events. However, BUAC faced challenges in quickly planning the best way to include other universities.
Vice President Nafisa Rahman (Senior, CSE) of BUAC revealed that such inter-university competitions bring students out of their comfort zones to build teamwork spirit and give critical thinking a chance to build resilience. She says, “ This event was a turning point for the club’s journey, proving the stigma of us only arranging tours untrue.” She hopes future panels will continue events like this on a large scale to unite the adventurous minds. BUAC hopes this event inspires students to reach far out rather than only academics by embracing challenges, fostering unity, and breaking all barriers.
