UNS – The Office Administration Education Program (PAP) of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP) at Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta has assigned its lecturers to teach off-campus as part of an academic exchange program. Lecturers from UNS were allowed to teach at the Office Administration Education Program of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) at Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Unesa), marking the realization of a collaborative agreement between the two programs.
This teaching assignment is the first step in a faculty exchange initiative. Two lecturers, Dr. Susantiningrum, S.Pd., SE., M.AB., and Dr. Tutik Susilowati, M.Si., were assigned to teach at Unesa. The official handover took place in the PAP classroom at Unesa on Tuesday (3/9/2024). The event was attended by program leaders, lecturers, and students. Dr. Susantiningrum, S.Pd., SE., M.AB., delivered lectures on the Entrepreneurship course, while Dr. Tutik Susilowati, M.Si., taught Organizational Science.
This lecturer exchange program is designed to share knowledge and experience between the two institutions. Dr. Susantiningrum, who also serves as the Head of PAP UNS, expressed her pride in the successful implementation of the collaboration.
“We are very proud to realize this collaboration. Our presence in Surabaya is a tangible example of our commitment to expanding educational outreach and sharing expertise. We are confident this will greatly benefit academic development on both sides,” Dr. Susantiningrum said.
Brillian Rosy, S.Pd., M.Pd., the Head of the PAP Program at Unesa, warmly welcomed the arrival of the UNS lecturers. She expressed her hope that this exchange would enrich the academic experiences of both the students and lecturer at Unesa, marking an important step in the partnership between the two programs. She also believes that the collaboration will enhance the quality of education in both institutions.
During their assignment, Dr. Susantiningrum and Dr. Tutik will be involved in academic activities such as lectures and group discussions with Unesa’s academic community. Soon, two lecturers from Unesa’s PAP Program, Dr. Farij Ibadil Maula, S.Pd., M.Pd., and Novi Trisnawati, S.Pd., M.Pd., will also be assigned to teach at UNS. This collaboration is part of both institutions’ ongoing efforts to improve the quality of education and expand their academic networks. Through this faculty exchange, students and lecturers from both universities are expected to gain new insights and valuable experiences that will support their academic development.
The involvement of UNS lecturers in off-campus activities is evidence of the university’s success in implementing Key Performance Indicator (IKU) 3. Teaching and education, one of the three pillars of higher education, are guiding principles for the academic community. The participation of UNS lecturers in delivering education at other universities further demonstrates the success of UNS, the “Fortress of Pancasila,” in fulfilling its higher education performance goals.
