“God willing, everything will be held in 2020,” he explained.
Meanwhile, the speech from the Head of the Management Study Program, Yusuf Iskandar, highlighted the implementation of the Nusa Putra Trilogy and the organizational values of management students, namely Global Outlook, Simply Attitude, Ethics, Cooperation, and Togetherness (GSECT).
Yusuf explained that organizational values and the Nusa Putra Trilogy concept need to be brought into higher education tri dharma activities so that campus life can be alive, both while still a student and after becoming an alumni.
“Just being present in class during lecture hours is not enough as a student,” said Yusuf.
According to Yusuf, students now have to be more proactive, able to build a wide network, then actively look for opportunities to increase their capacity, then actively take part in competitions and participate in social movements. “I want management students to be able to know themselves and be themselves,” said Yusuf.
