On May 4, 2026, the Petroleum and Mining Engineering Department at Tishk International University organized an engaging student breakfast gathering off-campus. Mr. Omar Azad, the academic advisor for second-grade students, arranged this special event to foster stronger connections between students and staff outside the traditional university environment.
This student breakfast gathering served as a relaxed platform for meaningful interaction. By stepping away from the classroom, the department successfully created a welcoming atmosphere. Furthermore, this initiative helps to build trust and professional relationships between lecturers and students, which is essential for a supportive academic culture.
In addition to the students, several faculty members participated, enjoying the refreshing change of pace. The student breakfast gathering facilitated deep conversations that are often difficult to squeeze into a busy lecture schedule. Consequently, students felt more comfortable sharing their thoughts, challenges, and aspirations with their instructors.
Moreover, the group discussed various critical topics regarding university life. Students and lecturers engaged in dialogue about specific engineering courses, effective study strategies, and navigating their daily academic workload. Importantly, the conversation also shifted toward future career prospects. Students gained valuable insights into the engineering job market and the industry skills they need to develop before graduation.

Ultimately, this initiative played a vital role in enhancing student morale and departmental unity. The department consistently strives to build a nurturing academic community that goes beyond textbooks. This activity directly supports SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 3 (Good Health and Well-being) by promoting student mentorship, mental well-being, and a highly supportive learning environment. By investing time in these personal connections, the department ensures that students feel valued and prepared for their future engineering careers.
