The Alumni Committee of the Department of Tourism and Hospitality Management at the University of Dhaka was formally inaugurated on Friday, at an iftar gathering held in a warm and cordial atmosphere, marking the official launch of the Alumni Association.

Organised during the holy month of Ramadan, the event brought together former students of the department for an evening of reunion and fellowship. The association begins its journey with a 50-member executive committee, says a press release.

Chandan Das has been elected President, while SM Tareq Sultan will serve as General Secretary. Chandan Das is currently serving as a Deputy Director at Bangladesh Bank, while SM Tareq Sultan is working as Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) in Gopalganj district. The executive committee also includes alumni now employed in various reputable institutions at home and abroad.

The President, General Secretary and other executive members have been actively involved in social welfare and voluntary organisations since their student days.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by the department’s Chairman, senior faculty members, alumni and representatives from different ongoing batches.

The Alumni Association is expected to serve as a common platform for the department. Through this platform, it aims to support students with career planning and counselling, introduce mentoring programmes, organise social and cultural activities, and act as brand ambassadors for the department on a broader scale.
