UNS — Positive news came from the Faculty of Engineering (FT) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta after a student of Chemical Engineering Program, Dhita Ayu Pramesthi, won 2nd place in Duta Humas Pandu Citraloka, a competition held by Central Java Scout Regional Quarter (Kwarda).
The competition invited 80 participants from various scout branch quarters in Central Java. Dhita explained that the selection process selected 37 participants from 24 branch quarters. The selection involved digital assets bookkeeping on schools and lower-level quarters in each region, preparing articles and vlog. “We also need to act promptly in Jogo Timeline, retweet and repost because we act as the agent to share information to the community,” Dhita explained to uns.ac.id on Tuesday (26/10/2021).
Participants were asked to fill the digital platforms with positive information and news for a month before five finalists were selected for the next competition stage in Semarang. “We were provided an opportunity to visit Suara Merdeka, Jateng Pos, and other tourism sectors,” the 3rd-semester student explained.
Dhita was the representative from the Branch Quarter of Klaten. She was also the youngest participant in the competition. The Chemical Engineering Program student admitted that she was happy and touched when she was announced as the 2nd Champion in the Malam Puncak Anugerah.
“I felt happy and sad because I feel that I am nobody without my family and friends who supported me. I am a young girl among the winners. Thank you for all the experiences and supports,” Dhita stated.
Concluding the interview, Dhita mentioned that she wished to introduce Scouting as an exciting activity. “Let’s take a role. Scout is flexible. Scout is not just clapping hands. I hope not only me or one or two people who know Scouting, but we need to open our insights, we could become a part of the agents to change behavior. Scout does not know full service or alumni, as long as we have scout within us,” Dhita concluded. Humas UNS
