UNS— To commemorate the 77th Cooperative Day, the Republic of Indonesian Employees’ Cooperative (KPRI) of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta organized a healthy walk event. This event, attended by all KPRI UNS members, started and finished at the KPRI UNS Office Courtyard on Friday (26/7/2024).
Before the walk commenced, the Acting Rector of UNS, Dr. Chatarina Muliana Girsang, S.H., S.E., M.H., led the participants in a group exercise at the KPRI UNS Office Courtyard. Dr. Chatarina was accompanied by vice rectors, directors, and deans from various faculties within UNS. She emphasized the crucial role cooperatives play in the Indonesian economy. For 77 years, cooperatives have actively contributed to the welfare of society, particularly for their members. Within the university context, cooperatives play an equally important role in supporting the welfare of UNS lecturers and staff.
The healthy walk event is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to supporting the cooperative movement and raising awareness about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. In addition to fostering camaraderie, this event aims to strengthen the sense of togetherness and solidarity among the entire UNS academic community.
“I appreciate the initiative of KPRI UNS in organizing this event. I hope activities like this can continue to be held annually, involving more participation from the entire UNS academic community. This will undoubtedly strengthen the sense of family among UNS campus members,” Dr. Chatarina said.
On this 77th Cooperative Day, she called on everyone to continue supporting and developing cooperatives within UNS. Dr. Chatarina is confident that with strong cooperation and commitment, we can create better and more competitive cooperatives. Let cooperatives not only enhance collective welfare but also serve as a means to achieve UNS’s vision and mission of being a superior and high-quality university.
“In conclusion, I wish everyone a pleasant healthy walk. May this event run smoothly and successfully, providing maximum benefits to all of us. Let’s maintain our health, togetherness, and family spirit within UNS,” she added.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of KPRI UNS, Dr. Hidajat Hendarsjah, S.Si., M.M., expressed his gratitude to the advisors, supervisors, administrators, and members of KPRI UNS who participated in the healthy walk to enliven the 77th National Cooperative Day. He also thanked all parties who supported the successful organization of the KPRI UNS healthy walk.
