GCIT’s Foundation Day celebration this year was made even more special and memorable by the gracious presence of Her Majesty Gyalyum Sangay Choden Wangchuck. As we celebrate 9 years of growth, innovation and achievements, Her Majesty’s presence was a great source of inspiration for the entire GCIT family. We remain deeply grateful for Her Majesty’s time, blessings and continued encouragement, which made the occasion truly meaningful for our school, staff and students.

During the event, Madam President, in her address expressed gratitude to Her Majesty and highlighted GCIT’s milestones since its establishment in 2017. She reflected on how far the college has progressed with our School of Future Computing and School of Interactive Design and Development, including the establishment of the Centre of Excellence for remote development work and the Research Centre of Excellence, with a strong focus on developing Pi-Shaped graduates equipped with multidisciplinary skills and competencies.

Madam President also shared, “To further aspire for global excellence in Pi-shaped multidisciplinary programmes, we augment our students with real-world projects and ventures through our labs and agencies, from FinTech Lab, Studio K in immersive media and design, and cybernetics in Crypto Chrome 4 Lab.”

Adding vibrancy to the celebration was a fierce and closely contested Boedra competition, where students from different blocks showcased their talent and appreciation for Bhutanese culture under the theme ‘Rooted in Tradition, Driven by Technology, Shaping the Future’. The performances beautifully reflected the students' connection to their cultural roots and their enthusiasm for keeping both Bhutan’s values and Tech interrelated.

Congratulations to all the winners!
