JUST CSE department hosts fresher reception, farewell
Nov 14, 2026 16:27

Aiming to tackle Fourth Industrial Revolution challenges and nurture innovative technology entrepreneurs, a vibrant gathering of incoming and graduating engineers took place at one of the country's premier science and technology universities. According to relevant sources, the Department of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) at Jashore University of Science and Technology (JUST) hosted its fresher reception and farewell ceremony at 10:30 AM on Saturday, November 14. Held at the Professor Mohammad Sharif Hossain Gallery of the National Poet Kazi Nazrul Academic Building, the event featured discussions, floral greetings for freshers, crests and receptions for graduating students, and a cultural program. Additionally, meritorious students of the department who achieved distinction in various national and international competitions were honored at the ceremony.

Presided over by CSE Department Chairman Dr. Md. Kamrul Islam, the event was attended by JUST Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan and Treasurer Professor Dr. Mohammad Faruk Hasan as special guests. Addressing the students, Pro-Vice-Chancellor Professor Sheikh Mahmudul Hasan stated, "The CSE department is the top choice for students across public and private universities in the country, and only the nation's brightest talents get the opportunity to study here. Four years at the university are essentially a period of rigorous training. Assignments and academic pressure from teachers equip students to face future career challenges and achieve professionalism. I believe that through hard work and skill acquisition, you will bring welfare to the country and the nation." He also urged students to become job creators or entrepreneurs through innovative thinking rather than mere job seekers, advising them to utilize government startup funding.

Meanwhile, Treasurer Professor Dr. Mohammad Faruk Hasan stated, "Students should strive to become skilled and the best human beings rather than merely chasing first place in exams. A university is not just for obtaining a certificate or piece of paper; it is an abode of the entire world. One must become the best of human civilization by absorbing the best from their surroundings. This pursuit of excellence must continue for both incoming and graduating students." Also speaking at the event were CSE Professor Dr. Md. Alam Hossain, Lecturer SK. Salauddin Kabir, and students Md. Josim Uddin and Md. Nishat, among others. Attended by faculty and students of the department, the day-long event concluded with a cultural program performed by CSE students in the evening.
