In his welcoming remarks, Prof. Yunus extended his greetings to the delegation from UC TATI Malaysia for their visit to UNS. “Thank you for the presence of the team from UC TATI Malaysia, the Dean, lecturers, and also the Student Senate who are here at UNS. Welcome to Indonesia, and specifically to UNS,” Prof. Yunus said.
During the occasion, Prof. Yunus presented an overview of UNS and its profile. “An interesting fact about UNS is that it serves as a stronghold and pioneer of Pancasila, which is the state ideology of Indonesia. We have a place of worship for six recognized religions in Indonesia, including a mosque, a Christian church, a Catholic church, a vihara, a pura, and a klentheng. Additionally, UNS is currently among the top 10 universities in Indonesia in terms of achievements,” Prof. Yunus explained.
Prof. Yunus expressed his hope that this visit would lead to further collaboration between UNS and UC TUTI Malaysia. “This collaboration could involve student exchanges, faculty exchanges, or opportunities for further study at UNS. UNS has students not only from Indonesia but also from many countries. Collaborative research is another avenue we can explore, offering many opportunities for cooperation,” Prof. Yunus said.
Meanwhile, Haji Syahrul ‘Alim Bin Baharuddin, the Dean of Student Affairs and Alumni of UC TATI Malaysia, expressed gratitude to UNS for warmly welcoming the delegation from UC TATI Malaysia. “Our purpose of our visit to UNS is to provide experiences to the UC TATI Student Senate and engage in benchmarking.
