“The strength of a nation derives from the integrity of the home.” — Confucius

At Chittagong University Model United Nations Association (CUMUNA), we believe that every confident delegate, every successful conference and every remarkable achievement is rooted in the unconditional support of family. With this belief at heart, the CUMUNA 12th Anniversary & Family Day 2026, held on 8th May 2026, stood as a heartfelt celebration dedicated to the families who continue to inspire and support our journey.

The esteemed Proctor of the University of Chittagong, Professor Dr. Hossain Shaid Shohorowardy, graced the occasion with his presence. Alongside him were our proud parents, members, alumni, Trustee Board Member Mr. Ishfaqul Kabir Asif and well-wishers, all gathered in an atmosphere filled with appreciation, nostalgia and joy.

Parents witnessed the dedication, discipline and passion that define CUMUNA while applauding the remarkable efforts behind our Model United Nations conferences and year-long activities. Through heartfelt speeches and thoughtful reflections, they shared their experiences, encouragement and aspirations, making the evening deeply meaningful for everyone present.

With visible pride and emotion, parents honoured and celebrated their children, transforming individual accomplishments into a collective celebration of excellence. Beyond the formalities, the evening flourished with laughter, reunions and cherished memories as members and their parents came together to reconnect and relive unforgettable moments with CUMUNA.

As reflections steeped in nostalgia intertwined with aspirations for the future, the event beautifully embodied the profound camaraderie and enduring legacy of the CUMUNA fraternity.

Here’s to many more years of nurturing excellence, strengthening lifelong bonds and flourishing together as one indomitable CUMUNA family.

She sat on a hospital floor, holding nothing.
Her six month old daughter was gone, taken by a disease a single vaccine could have stopped.

Over 300 children have died in Bangladesh's measles outbreak this year. Millions of other mothers stood in queues in the heat, held out their children's arms, and said: not mine. Not today. 16 million children vaccinated in weeks. That is a mother's love.

A mother does not arrive at love gradually. She is thrown into it without a rehearsal or a map. But she finds her way every single time. In the sleepless nights when no one witnessed, in the fears she swallowed so you could sleep peacefully, in every sickness, where she quietly sat beside with food she was there. She has always been there. Long before you had the words to thank her, and long after you forgot to.

Today, Chittagong University Model United Nations Association pauses in deep gratitude for the women who hold the world together without ever asking to be acknowledged for it. To every mother who gave without measure, loved without condition, and stayed without question this day belongs to you.

Happy Mother's Day.

The wait is over!

"All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." Martin Luther King Jr.
International Labor Day, also known as May Day, stands as a solemn as well as powerful remembrance of the hands that shape the fabric of society. The Day has its roots in the late 19th century's labor movement, when workers protested in the pursuit of dignity, improved working conditions and fair wages. In 1886, a massive uprising in Chicago in the clamor for eight hours of labor each day led to the defining moment of 'The Haymarket Affair.' Later, championed by some socialist groups in Europe, May 1 was proclaimed as the International Workers' Day.
International Labor Day serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing struggle for workers’ rights and the need for solidarity among all those who labor. It is a day to commemorate the value of labor, the determination and unity of artists, whose efforts, like a fabled magician's wand, ignite ability and convert the abstract ideas of genius into enduring reality.
Let’s pay some tribute to the people whose efforts and resilience light up the world. May we build a future where no worker has to sacrifice their body to earn their bread, and where every hand that builds the world is valued, protected, and honored, for it is through labor that nature answers and every gift finds its true purpose.

We are proud to announce the outstanding achievements of a delegation from CUMUNA, who recently participated in the Rajshahi University Model United Nations 2026. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to the award recipients:
‎
‎বাংলাদেশ বিষয়ক বিশেষায়িত কমিটি (SCBA):
‎Sheikh Sami Hasan- Special Mention
‎
‎Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC):
‎Mahir Shahriar- Special Mention
‎
‎North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO):
‎Tawfique Islam Omar- Special Mention

‎We also extend our appreciation to our members who served on the Executive Board, bringing their expertise to the conference, our President, Hammad Bin Akbar, served as the Vice Chairperson of APEC and our General Secretary, Mubarrat Ahbab, served as the Deputy Secretary General of NATO.
‎
‎Celebrating their dedication and excellence at RUMUN 2026, we take pride in our awardees and participants and look forward to seeing them achieve even greater milestones in the future.

“বজ্রশিখায় আঁধার ফুঁড়ে আসুক নব আলোক ধেয়ে—
ভয় কী তোমার? বিজয়রথ আসছে ওই জগৎ ছেয়ে।”

বিশ্বজুড়ে যখন বিশৃঙ্খলা আর অনিশ্চয়তার ঘনঘটা, তখন আরও একটি নতুন বছর ঘুরে আমাদের মাঝে ফিরে এলো বাংলা নববর্ষ। অন্ধকার কাটিয়ে সম্মুখপানে তাকানোর, ঐক্যের প্রার্থনা করার এবং নতুন আশা ও স্বপ্নে উদ্ভাসিত হওয়ার এক অনন্য সুযোগ এটি।

পহেলা বৈশাখ কেবল একটি পঞ্জিকার আবর্তন নয়; এটি আমাদের হাজার বছরের অজেয় অস্তিত্বের এক জীবন্ত ইশতেহার।বাঙালির শাশ্বত জীবনধারার এক প্রাণবন্ত প্রতিচ্ছবি ফুটে ওঠে এই উৎসবে। এক থালা নতুন চালের ভাত যেন সমৃদ্ধ বাংলার প্রতীক; ঐতিহ্যবাহী পোশাক জানান দেয় আমাদের লোকজ শিল্পের কথা; বৈশাখী মেলা বয়ে আনে বাংলার চিরচেনা উৎসবমুখর পরিবেশ। লোকজ আর ধ্রুপদী সংগীতের সুরম্য মূর্ছনা আমাদের সাংস্কৃতিক ঋদ্ধতাকে তুলে ধরে, আর পড়ন্ত বিকেলে বাংলার গ্রামীণ খেলাধুলা প্রমাণ দেয় বাঙালির চিরকালীন সৌহার্দ্যপূর্ণ স্বভাবের। নববর্ষের প্রতিটি উদযাপন আমাদের মনে করিয়ে দেয় যে— এটি কেবল একটি বছরের শুরু নয়, বরং শেকড়ের দিকে ফিরে তাকানোর এক সুযোগ। অতীতের প্রজ্ঞা, বর্তমানের শক্তি আর ভবিষ্যতের প্রত্যাশা নিয়ে এগিয়ে যাওয়ার এক নতুন অঙ্গীকার।

নববর্ষের এই চিরসবুজ শপথকে পুনরায় ধারণ করে এবং একটি সুন্দর আগামীর প্রত্যাশায়— চট্টগ্রাম বিশ্ববিদ্যালয় প্রতীকী জাতিসংঘ সংস্থার পক্ষ থেকে সকলকে বাংলা নববর্ষ - ১৪৩৩। বাংলার এই অজেয় চেতনা চিরকাল বিরাজমান থাকুক।

The 10th Annual General Meeting of the Chittagong University Model United Nations Association (CUMUNA) was held on 10 April 2026, marking another significant milestone in our journey of growth, leadership and excellence.

This AGM stood as a proud reflection of the dedication, hard work, and vision that have continuously shaped CUMUNA over the years. As the Governing Board 2025–26 officially completed its tenure, the occasion became both a celebration of its contributions and a moment of transition toward a new chapter.

Throughout the event, we looked back on a year filled with commitment, progress and meaningful achievements that strengthened the spirit of our association. The AGM also served as a platform to honor the efforts of the outgoing board, whose leadership, perseverance and service have left a lasting impact on CUMUNA.

The presence of our members, alumni and Trustee Board Member Mr. Ishfaqul Kabir Asif added great value to the event and made the AGM even more successful. Their support, encouragement and continued connection to CUMUNA reflected the strong bond that unites our community across generations.

At the same time, with great hope and enthusiasm, we welcomed the newly elected Governing Board for the 2026–27 tenure:

President: Hammad Bin Akbar
General Secretary: Mubarrat Ahbab
Organising Secretary: Md. Ishraq Parves Ifty

We are also immensely proud to share that Anika Tahsin Sami, President of the Governing Board 2025–26, has been appointed as a member of the Trustee Board of CUMUNA. Her appointment reflects both her remarkable contribution to the organization and CUMUNA’s continued commitment to institutional continuity and long-term development.

As we bid farewell to Governing Board 2025-26 and warmly welcome Governing Board 2026-27, we remain confident that the new leadership will continue to carry forward the standard of excellence that defines our association.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the outgoing board for their service and wish the new board every success in the days ahead.
