As one of the universities that nurtured from the Pancasila values and devoted all of its capabilities to the greater community welfare, Universitas Sebelas Maret plays an active role in learning activities that involve all stakeholders in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Program (MBKM).

In this MBKM program, UNS must shape the noble and virtuous character of the nation’s young generation and assist students in developing their abilities. This assistance should cover both the hard skills and soft skills through the eight types of MBKM activities. Doing so will ensure that UNS will not become an ivory tower in the education sector but also plays an active role in the community by devoting its energy through scientific contribution and charitable knowledge. This statement was delivered by the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Prof. Drs. Djoko Suhardjanto, M.Com (Hons), Ph.D., Ak., in the virtual Morning Briefing attended by all UNS academic members, Monday, August 30, 2021.

Further, he explains that evaluation and budget implementation for the second half of the semester aims to improve education quality both in human resource development, teaching and learning facilities, including international-class laboratories, and various supporting facilities to encourage superior accreditation at both national and international levels.

In terms of the achievement of the second semester in 2021 Key Performance Indicators (KPI), Prof. Djoko states that UNS has made various efforts to achieve the target KPI in the previous semester. All UNS academic members, including the faculty members in collaboration with lecturers, students, and academic support staff, are working hard to achieve the KPI target and even exceed it and continue to strengthen UNS position in the first cluster of Indonesia’s universities ranking. However, all these strenuous efforts must be implemented continuously to achieve UNS’ ultimate objective as a world-class university, both at the Asian University Ranking and the World University Ranking.

These three main points were conveyed by Prof. Djoko Suhardjanto in the Morning Briefing welcoming the last week of August. Many are expected that UNS will be more successful both in the national and international spheres.

The Morning Briefing is a routine held by UNS on Mondays, where the party responsible for the briefing is selected from, in turn, from the 16 Work Units at UNS. As of August 30, 2021, FEB is fully responsible for the Morning Briefing implementation.

Other than Prof. Djoko, other officers who served in the Morning Briefing are the Head of the Management Study Program, Dr. Atmaji, who led the tribute to Country Flag and National Anthem.
