The Chittagong University Alumni Association Australia Inc. (CUAAA) hosted a vibrant reunion and harbour cruise event, “CUAAA Harbour Cruise 2026,” on Sydney Harbour, bringing together former students of University of Chittagong, their families, and invited guests in a festive atmosphere.
Held on 8 November, the event attracted 167 participants, including alumni from various graduating batches, family members, and community guests. The cruise became a memorable gathering filled with friendship, nostalgia, and community spirit.
The reunion provided alumni with an opportunity to reconnect with longtime friends, reminisce about university life, strengthen family ties, and introduce younger generations of graduates to the growing alumni network. The event created a lively and enjoyable environment throughout the day.
The programme began with a recitation from the Holy Quran, followed by a special segment acknowledging and paying respect to the traditional custodians of Australia’s Indigenous lands and heritage.
During the association’s Annual General Meeting, General Secretary Masud Chowdhury presented a report outlining the organisation’s achievements and activities over the past two years, along with its future plans and strategic goals.
He highlighted key milestones, including the formal registration of the association, the development of its constitution, efforts to strengthen the organisational structure, and the successful implementation of various social and cultural programmes such as Family Day events and community picnics.
In his address, President Sattar Khaza emphasized the importance of unity, cooperation among members, and the continued expansion of the association’s activities.
“CUAAA is not just an organisation; it is a bridge of friendship, tradition, and lifelong connections among Chittagong University alumni living in Australia,” he said.
The event also recognised senior alumni, prominent community figures, and individuals who have made significant contributions to the association by presenting them with honorary crests and awards.
