UNS — Association for Excellent Students (Imapres) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta held a roadshow on Excellent Student Selection (Pilmapres) UNS 2022 in 11 faculties and one vocational school from Monday (21/2/2022) to Friday (25/2/2022).
The event coordinator and Excellent Student of the Faculty of Medical Science (FK) 2021, Namira Putri Imani, stated that the program was held due to the lack of preparation for students participating in Pilmapres. Many students have limited information on Pilmapres. Thus, they lacked preparation and seemed to give suboptimum efforts. “There is also low competent students’ participation in Pilmapres, because the lack of and sudden information on Pilmapres they (competent students) did not participate (in Pilmapres),” she explained to uns.ac.id on Wednesday (23/2/2022).
Namira hoped that the roadshow could provide a new perspective for students that achieving excellence is exciting and everyone could achieve such excellence. In the roadshow at the Faculty of Engineering (FT) UNS on Wednesday (23/2/2022), three excellent students (Mawapres) were invited as speakers; Pradana Ricardo (Mawapres 3 UNS), M. Fuadi Hakimi (Mawapres FT), and Tara Nabila (Mawapres FT).
