On Saturday, January 20, 2024, they showcased their talents at the Multipurpose Hall of the university’s permanent campus in Uttara. The event was headlined 22 Campus Culture and featured diverse larger-than-life designs crafted from both national and international influences. The students presented 18 unique lines. The glitz and glamor of their designs set the runway on fire. Vice Chancellor, Prof. Dr. Eaysmin Ara Lekha and Pro VC, Prof. Dr. Gour Gobindo Goswami were the chief and special guests at the event, respectively.

Dr. Eaysmin Ara, in her keynote address as the chief guest, expressed her appreciation for the contributions of the department in creating skilled manpower for the garment sector.
