“Don’t chase money, chase making a difference.” Zscaler founder and CEO Jay Chaudhry said this to the graduating students of Banaras Hindu University (BHU) as he delivered the 104th Convocation address. Chaudhry, who’s an alumnus of IIT-BHU, shared his journey from a humble background to becoming a global technology icon. He recalled how his parents, who were small-scale farmers, struggled to make sure that their children got a good education. “Adversity makes you figure things out, what to do and how to do,” said Chaudhry while mentioning how adversities in his childhood helped him develop his work ethic. Chaudhry advised the students to embrace resilience and learn continuously as they step into their futures. Reflecting on his own experiences at BHU, Chaudhry spoke about his fond memories of the campus, walks along the ghats, and strolls in the Lanka area. Crediting BHU for his success, the 1980 pass-out inspired students to work hard, be diligent and honest, and strive with a positive outlook in life to achieve excellence. Noting the technological advancements made by India in the recent decades, Chaudhary said students were future leaders and would be taking the on-going journey forward. “There will be ups and downs, but there are tons of opportunities that will come along. Those of you who grab them, work on them, figure out, will do extremely well,” he said. The Zscaler founder acknowledged that more female students were conferred gold medals, mentioning that India needed to realize the power of women. In his address, vice-chancellor Prof. Sudhir Kumar Jain spoke about the significant progress made by the university for its growth by hiring and nurturing talent, deployment of resources and building culture and governance. He listed the university’s initiatives for holistic development of students, empowering faculty members, infrastructure development and promoting excellence in education and research. The vice-chancellor mentioned the progress made by the university in strengthening its alumni engagement and informed that it now had a database of nearly 62,000 alumni. A total of 34 medals were conferred on 30 students during the convocation ceremony that took place at Swatantrata Bhawan. A total of 14,072 degrees were awarded. Out of them, 867 were Ph.D., 21 M.Phil., 5,074 postgraduate and 8,110 undergraduate degrees. Arts wing to confer degrees today BHU’s Faculty of Arts, also called the “mother faculty” of BHU, will be conferring over 4,300 degrees upon its graduating students on Sunday.

The Miami Hurricanes, who once appeared to be a near-lock for the College Football Playoff, are not playing for a national title. Instead, they will play in the Pop-Tarts Bowl in Orlando. That bowl berth against Iowa State is a let-down for fans with dreams of a sixth national title in their minds, as well as players hoping to compete for a championship. However, Miami’s trip to Orlando and the lead-up to it are still crucial periods for the Hurricanes for multiple reasons. First, it’s a chance for the program to achieve something it has not done in more than two decades: win 11 games. Although the 11th win won’t get them closer to a championship, it is a good sign of the program’s progress over Mario Cristobal’s tenure. It would also end UM’s five-game losing streak in bowls. “We’re not satisfied,” Cristobal said. “We want to win every single game. We won 10. We were close on the other two, but close isn’t good enough. We want progress. We’re hungry and driven to get better, and so that’s what our focus is on: to improving as a football program, to getting better, to moving into the postseason with an opportunity against a great football team like this and putting our best on the field.” There are signs the Hurricanes will show up at close to full strength for the bowl game. Running back Damien Martinez announced he was going to play, and star quarterback Cam Ward said in a video call posted on social media that he intends to play, as well. “We’re trying to win our first bowl game in 20 years,” Ward said in the video, mistaking the length of UM’s long bowl losing streak. “We’re going hard.” Playing in the bowl game also provides the opportunity for the Hurricanes to get in several practices between now and the game. That means Miami can develop its young players and prepare them for next season during both the practices and the bowl game itself. “It’s extremely valuable,” Cristobal said. “You really don’t have many opportunities throughout the course of the year — time is limited more and more each season with your student-athletes. I want to state this and be very clear: it’s very important, it’s ultra-important for the University of Miami to continue to develop and grow and progress by stressing the importance of offseason opportunities ... You learn a lot about your team and learn a lot about your people and your program when you head to the postseason.” Of course, there are potential negatives. Players can get hurt; Mark Fletcher Jr. suffered a foot injury in the Pinstripe Bowl last year that cost him all of spring practice. A poor performance can also potentially set the tone for next season, like how Florida State, fresh off a playoff snub last year, suffered a devastating loss against Georgia in the Orange Bowl and went on to a dismal 2-10 season this year. “This is the ending of ’24 and the beginning of ’25,” Cristobal said. “This is the last opportunity to be on the field and carry some momentum into the offseason. So it is, in essence, it is the most important game because it’s the next game. “There’s a lot of excitement in the form of opportunity for our guys. Our guys love to play football. The chance to play one more time with this special group — this is a special group of guys now. They’ve worked hard to really change the trajectory of the University of Miami, and they want to continue to elevate the status and the culture at the University of Miami. So certainly a ton to play for.” ____ Get local news delivered to your inbox!
