UNS — A total of 10,409 new students of Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta were officially inaugurated. The inaugurated students consisted of 2,034 Diploma program students and 8,375 Undergraduate (Bachelor) program students. The new students’ inauguration ceremony was led by the Rector of UNS, Prof. Jamal Wiwoho, on Saturday (13/8/2022) at UNS Stadium.
In his remark, Prof. Jamal expressed his admiration for the arrival of the best candidate for the Indonesian successor in UNS as Pioneer Campus and Fort Pancasila.
“As of today, you have become the official members of the UNS campus and will soon face new college experiences. However, you must remember that college is not only to get high academic scores, but also to master various soft skills, nurturing good manners and attitudes, communication skills, social intelligence, and so on,” he explained.
Prof. Jamal said that the support provided by UNS in providing a conducive academic atmosphere and autonomous university governance would encourage rapid progress in preparing competitive human resources. “Having a bachelor’s degree allows you to have a greater chance of getting a decent job. Although not all degrees offer a direct route to a suitable job according to one’s field of study. Therefore, make the best use of learning opportunities and start planning to create a beneficial masterpiece for the community,” said Prof. Jamal.
Meanwhile, UNS Vice-Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Ahmad Yunus, said that in 2022, prospective UNS students are coming from 34 provinces.
“Aside from this number, UNS also inaugurates 24 new students from the College Affirmation Scholarship or ADik Scholarship program of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology, and 54 new foreign students through UNS Scholarship, Partial UNS Scholarship, and independent funding program,” he explained.
After this ceremony, all new students will participate in a series of Introduction to New Student Campus Life (PKKMB) activities for the next few days. Humas UNS
