Opening New Doors of Possibilities โ€” New Computer Lab Inaugurated ๐Ÿ’ปโœจ
With the aim of providing students with modern technology-driven education, hands-on learning opportunities, and a broader scope for research, our university has inaugurated a new Computer Lab.
In todayโ€™s rapidly evolving technological world, theoretical knowledge alone is not enough. Students also need practical skills, opportunities to apply technology, and hands-on learning experiences. With this goal in mind, the new lab will provide students with a modern and effective learning environment.

Sysnova Information Systems Limited has extended its valuable support to our university by providing the complete setup required for establishing this Computer Lab. On behalf of the university, we sincerely express our gratitude and appreciation for their generous contribution toward creating a modern and technology-enriched learning environment for our students.
The special occasion was graced by the presence of Mr. Kazi Zeeshan Hasan and Mr. Kazi Zahin Hasan, Directors of Kazi Farms Limited; Kazi Zahedul Hasan, Chairperson, Board of Trustees, CWU; Dr. Perween Hasan, Vice Chancellor, CWU and Mr. Elias Ahmed, Registrar, Central Womenโ€™s University (CWU).

The event was also attended by the Chairpersons of all our respected Departments, all the Faculty Members and dear students of the CSE department. Their enthusiastic presence and participation made the occasion even more vibrant, joyful, and memorable.

We believe that this new Computer Lab is more than just a laboratoryโ€”it is a new opportunity for our students to learn, practice, conduct research, innovate, and shape their future. Through this lab, students will be able to connect their theoretical classroom knowledge with practical experience and further develop their technical skills.
Here, students will have the opportunity to enhance their skills through programming, networking, server management, system administration, research, and various technology-based practical activities.
Such collaboration between the education and industry sectors will inspire our students to become more skilled, confident, and better prepared for the future.
May this new Computer Lab become a new hub for technological learning, creativity, research, and limitless possibilities for our students. ๐Ÿš€

From 24โ€“25 July, Central Women's University (CWU) and GIZ came together for a two-day Faculty Development Training Programme on "AI in Teaching and Research," under the Digital Skills to Succeed in Asia (DS2S) project. The project, financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), aims to enhance digital skills among young university students, particularly those in non-technical disciplines and women in Bangladesh, India, and Vietnam, to better prepare them for success in the job market.

Since joining the regional initiative in 2023, CWU has focused on strengthening digital competencies and academic capacity to accelerate digital transformation in higher education. This latest training took that a step further, equipping faculty with practical strategies to integrate AI into curriculum development, classroom engagement, assessment, research design, data analysis, and scholarly writing, always with an emphasis on responsible and effective use.

Vice-Chancellor Dr. Perween Hasan captured the spirit of the programme, thanking trainers and participants and reaffirming CWU's commitment to continued collaboration with GIZ. Perhaps most meaningfully, the training didn't end with theory. Participants left with personal action plans to bring these new AI skills directly into their classrooms next semester, turning learning into practice.

This is what digital transformation in education looks like: preparing graduates with the knowledge, skills, and adaptability essential to thrive in the twenty-first-century workforce. For more details, check out this news- https://lnkd.in/g8jDUDdG
