Thursday, January 18, 2024 – The Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (FIB UGM) received a school visitation from SMA Negeri 16 Surabaya at the Soegondo Auditorium on the 7th floor of the Soegondo Building, from 9:00 – 11:00 Western Indonesian Time (GMT+7). The visit was aimed as to provide insights for the high school students of SMA Negeri 16 Surabaya about various universities located outside of Surabaya.
The visit was opened with a short welcome speech by Swety Firmanti, representing the FIB’s Public Relations and Cooperation Unit, followed by a presentation of the visitation vision and mission by the SMA Negeri 16 Surabaya chaperone. After the presentation, they were shown two videos featuring profiles of UGM and the FIB, which increased their curiosity about the university brand known as “Blue Campus.” This was evidenced by more than 10 students asking questions about the university, ranging from courses, job prospects, to alumni records. The event then ended with a photo session and a souvenir handover by SMA Negeri 16 Surabaya to the FIB UGM.
The existence of these visiting activities that various secondary schools often carry out is expected to open the minds of students to the various choices of study programs available at the FIB UGM, so that they can choose a study program or major that is in line with their interests and talents.
