A reunion and harbour cruise for former students of the University of Chittagong was held at Sydney Harbour in Australia. The event, organised by the Chattogram University Alumni Association Australia Inc (CUAAA), took place on November 8 and was attended by 167 people, including alumni, their families, and invited guests.

Organisational activities and honours

During the annual general meeting held as part of the event, General Secretary Masud Chowdhury presented a report on the organisation's activities over the past two years. In addition, senior alumni and individuals who have made notable contributions to the association were honoured. The entire programme was anchored by Shayla Haque Tanju and Nipon Alam.

A cruise filled with nostalgia

The harbour cruise was enlivened with Chattogram's regional songs, Bengali music, and reminiscences of university life. Organisers believe such gatherings play a vital role in helping the diaspora maintain a connection with their roots.

The journey of CUAAA

The CUAAA was founded with six members on the initiative of Ashiqur Rahman Ash, a councillor of Campbelltown City Council. With the participation of alumni from various batches, the organisation now serves as the primary platform for Chattogram University graduates in Australia.
