Leaving behind the familiar world of cotton, yarn and colours, students and faculty members of the Department of Textile Engineering at Northern University Bangladesh (NUB) embarked on a memorable tour to Cox’s Bazar, enjoying the natural beauty of the world’s longest unbroken natural sandy sea beach.
Organized by the Textile Society of Northern University Bangladesh on 14 November 2026, the tour aimed to provide students with a refreshing break from their regular academic activities while strengthening friendship, mutual understanding and relationships between faculty members and students.
The tour was attended by G. M. Faysal, Head of the Department and Associate Professor. Also present were Associate Professor Mazaharul Islam, Assistant Professor and Coordinator Nazmul Islam, and Assistant Professor Russell Hawlader. Their participation added warmth and enthusiasm to the entire journey.
During the tour, students explored some of Cox’s Bazar’s most popular destinations, including Laboni, Sugandha and Kolatoli sea beaches, Himchari, Inani Sea Beach and the scenic Marine Drive. The breathtaking views of the sea, waves, hills and sandy coastline created an enjoyable atmosphere. Students spent memorable moments through group activities, photography, music, conversations and lively gatherings.
Beyond recreation, the tour served as an opportunity to strengthen the bond between teachers and students. Such extracurricular activities play an important role in developing teamwork, leadership, communication skills and mutual understanding among students. They also provide mental refreshment and encourage students to return to their academic activities with renewed enthusiasm.
