Prateekshit Pandey, who got the position of assistant professor at UC Santa Barbara, drafted a unique poster styled like an Indian political campaign.
An assistant professor in Maharashtra has sparked laughter online and impressed the internet with his creativity after he announced his new job in the most unique way. Instead of a simple write-up, Prateekshit 'Kanu' Pandey, who got the position of assistant professor at the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara, drafted a poster styled like a congratulatory banner used in Indian political campaigns. Happy to officially announce that I am joining the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara @CommUcsb as an Assistant Professor, starting January 2024. आइ वडिलांच्या आशीर्वाद आहेत भारी. https://t.co/BmGve47WYGpic.twitter.com/MiG4Y5v670
''Am happy to officially announce that I am joining the Department of Communication at UC Santa Barbara @CommUcsb as an Assistant Professor, starting January 2024. The blessings of my elders are pouring in),'' he wrote on X, along with the quirky poster.
In the poster, he is dressed as a typical Indian politician, striking a 'victory' pose with garlands draped around his neck. The poster also carried images of other university dignitaries and supporters, along with congratulatory messages. Notably, he had used the same style back in 2022 when he invited people to join him on Zoom for his dissertation defense presentation.
