The Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta, Prof. Drs. Djoko Suhardjanto, M.Com. (Hons), Ph.D., Ak. Inaugurates the administrator for the Student Executive Board (BEM), Student Supervisory Board (DEMA), and Student Organizations (ORMAWA) for 2021. The ceremony took place on Thursday, 25 February 2021 in FEB UNS Auditorium (Building 3).

The ceremony was attended by the Vice-Dean, Head of Partnership Unit, and FEB UNS Administrative Leaders, where a signatory of Minutes of Management Handover also took place. The signatory was represented by the Chair of BEM and DEMA FEB UNS, which symbolizes the transfer of responsibility from the Administrator for the previous period (2020) to the new Administrator in 2021.

The Dean of FEB UNS in his opening remarks congratulate the elected new administrator and thanking the previous administrator for their service and devotion. Prof. Djoko also requested that the previous leader will assist the new leader to accomplish even greater achievements. Further, regarding the shift of UNS status from a Public Service Agency (BLU) into a State University as Legal Entity (PTN BH), there are many adjustments, both in terms of organizational structure and working pattern, there must be a great leap. UNS is required to accomplish a target set by the government to enter the top 500 global universities.

Prof. Djoko also encourages the students, especially the administrators for BEM, DEMA, and ORMAWA to actively engage, organize, and joining international events. The FEB UNS will assist the students to reach international achievements. “The designation of UNS as PTNBH, students’ activities both in academic and non-academic sector lead to international achievements. University, faculty, and study programs will support students’ activities. If there is any difficulty, we will solve it together. We must collaborate to reach the target,” he stressed while motivating the students.

Concluding the event, the Dean delivers a message for the students that even though they are actively participating in the organization, they must maintain their academic achievement. (Humas FEB).
