Prof. Irwan Trinugroho, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., is the 19th Professor in the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) and 245th Professor in UNS. The inauguration ceremony was held in a hybrid event from G.P.H. Haryo Mataram Auditorium UNS and online through the Zoom Meeting application and live streaming at UNS YouTube channel.
In his remark, the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, stated that he is proud of the special end-year gift.
“We are proud because, at the end of 2021, UNS received a special gift with the new professor. This proved UNS commitment and focused on meeting the ideal number of professors (in the university),” Prof. Jamal stated.
The Rector added that he hoped UNS Professors have activities with impacts on the community. “It will be very beautiful if UNS professors have the activities to explore knowledge based on the local wisdom, not only studying phenomenon based on western perspectives and theories. Moreover, being a professor is not only about meeting administrative requirements, but also productivity, capacity, authority, and impact for their profession and the community,” Prof. Jamal stated.
Currently, UNS has 207 active professors, 1,855 faculty members, 1,921 academic staff, and 44,000 students; all are components that could contribute to advancing UNS and building the nation.
