Keysha Almira, Tourism Undergraduate Student 2023, Pursues Her Passion as a Drill and Display Coach at Marching Band UGM

AcademicNews ReleaseSDGs 4: Quality Education Monday, 16 June 2025

Yogyakarta, 14/06/2025 – As a student, maintaining a balance between academic and non-academic activities is essential. Keysha Almira, a 2023 undergraduate student in Tourism, has exemplified this well. After performing as a Color Guard in the Marching Band UGM concert titled “Pangupajiwa: Marta Sang Mahapatih Gadjah Mada” in November 2024, she has now shifted her focus to becoming a Drill and Display coach of Marching Band UGM.

Keysha’s daily routine mirrors that of many students. From morning to afternoon, she focuses on her academic responsibilities, while her evenings are devoted to coaching fellow members of the Marching Band UGM. Her commitment reflects strong time management skills, which she considers crucial for balancing academic and extracurricular pursuits. To maintain this balance, Keysha organizes her schedule by creating daily to-do lists and using Google Calendar. This method helps her avoid scheduling conflicts and ensures she can allocate time for both her studies and her passion in the marching band.

According to Keysha, balancing academic and non-academic activities is very important. “You can’t just study in class all the time. As students, it’s also important to develop our passions outside of academics,” she said. Her perspective highlights the importance of holistic student development, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which emphasize quality education.

Keysha encourages her peers not to hesitate in exploring activities beyond their academic curriculum. “Don’t be afraid to explore things outside of academics. As long as your time management is structured, everything will be fine,” she advised. This mindset not only supports personal growth but also contributes to a well-rounded campus life.

Marching Band UGM has long served as a platform for students to express their creativity through music and teamwork. With the routines she’s building, the band is expected to enhance its performance quality, especially in the Drill and Display segment. Keysha’s role as a coach stands as proof that students can develop their potential through non-academic activities as well.

Through her journey as both a student and coach, Keysha aims to inspire others to pursue their passions while remaining committed to their academic responsibilities. Her story serves as a reminder that with proper planning and dedication, students can achieve a fulfilling and balanced university experience.

In conclusion, Keysha Almira’s journey reflects the importance of structured development in both academic and non-academic fields. Her proactive approach to time management and her passion for the arts contribute meaningfully to her personal growth at Universitas Gadjah Mada.

Overcoming Challenges and Bringing Home the Trophy: Korean Language and Culture UGM Students Excel at National Korean Debate Competition

AcademicSDG 4 (Quality Education)SDGs 4: Quality EducationSustainable Development Goals Wednesday, 11 June 2025

Jakarta, 23/5/2025 – Two students from the Korean Language and Culture Study Program, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), successfully secured 2nd Place at the National Korean Debate Competition for Indonesian University Students. The competition was held at Auditorium 1, CGV FX Sudirman, Jakarta, on Friday, May 23, 2025. This semifinal-final round was participated by selected students from various universities, including two representatives from UGM’s Korean Language and Culture Study Program.

Unlike typical debate formats, participants in this competition were not informed of the motion or their teammates until the day of the event, as all team assignments and debate positions were determined randomly on-site. In the semifinal round, teams were divided into 3 vs 3 format with the motion, “학생의 편리를 위해 대학교 도서관이 24시간 운영을 해야 된다” (“For the convenience of students, university libraries should operate 24 hours a day”). The two UGM representatives, Adzini and Melinda, were randomly placed on the same team and successfully advanced to the final round. Once again, in the final round, they found themselves on the same team. The final round continued with the motion, “소셜미디어 상에서의 익명성은 긍정적인 영향보다는 부정적인 영향을 더 많이 초래한다” (“Anonymity on social media brings more negative impacts than positive ones”).

The competition concluded with comments from the judges, a dance cover performance, and an awarding session. In this event, Adzini Nurul Fatima Juliani and Ferdinanda Melinda Suryaningrum from the Korean Language and Culture Study Program successfully won 2nd Place in the team category.

In a separate interview, Melinda shared her experience, “Before the competition started, so many thoughts ran through my mind, especially because we were carrying the name of UGM and our study program, which had supported our journey to Jakarta. However, by the grace of God, we managed to deliver a result by winning 2nd place. Although it was not the best result, it was achieved through our utmost efforts. This competition has become an unforgettable part of my life.”

Meanwhile, Adzini also shared her story and the challenges she faced during the competition. “I used to be someone who was afraid to speak up, even just to express my opinion. But now, being able to participate in a debate competition and win 2nd place is a proud achievement for me. I believe that the biggest challenge in a competition doesn’t come from your opponents, but from within yourself. During this competition, I doubted myself many times — could I really do this? Especially when carrying the name of my university and study program. But amidst the doubt, I remembered words from a sunbae: ‘Winning is a bonus. What matters is that we finish what we’ve started.’ Whatever the result, I’m grateful because this is the outcome of my best efforts. Eventually, through this experience, I’ve been able to grow again. And finally, I would like to thank everyone who has helped me to stand here. All of this is thanks to everyone’s support~!!”

Faculty of Cultural Sciences Holds Sacrificial Event: A Manifestation of Care and Solidarity within the Academic Community

AcademicSDGs 1: No povertySDGs 2: Zero HungerSDGs 3: Good health and well-being Wednesday, 11 June 2025

Yogyakarta, 8/6/2025 – The Faculty of Cultural Sciences (FIB) at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) held a sacrificial animal slaughter event on 8 June 2025 as part of its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly those related to ending poverty and hunger. The event began at 08:00 AM and continued until all activities were completed.

This year, the faculty sacrificed three healthy and well-sized cows, ensuring that the meat could benefit as many underprivileged families as possible. Beyond fulfilling a religious obligation, the sacrificial event also served as a social initiative aimed at alleviating hunger and supporting vulnerable communities.

The event opened with a prayer led by Mr. Jawat, which reminded participants of the spiritual importance of sharing and caring for others. The atmosphere encouraged reflection on the values of togetherness and compassion that lie at the heart of the sacrificial tradition.

The Dean of FIB UGM delivered a speech affirming the faculty’s role in upholding social responsibility. The event was viewed not only as a religious tradition but also as a meaningful contribution to addressing social issues such as poverty and food security, in alignment with the SDGs.

Following the Dean’s remarks, Mr. Musadad, Chairman of the Takmir, expressed his appreciation for the active participation of faculty members and students. He emphasized the importance of collective efforts and the spirit of solidarity in supporting those in need.

The meat from the sacrificed animals will be distributed to various local communities with the goal of reaching as many families as possible and ensuring their access to nutritious food. This initiative directly supports the SDGs’ mission to end hunger and promote food security for all.

Through the implementation of this sacrificial event, the Faculty of Cultural Sciences demonstrates its ongoing commitment to social responsibility and sets an example for other institutions in fostering compassion and driving positive change in society.

Inauguration of Prof. Dr. Atik Triratnawati, M.A. as Professor of Health Anthropology at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences

AcademicNews ReleaseSDGs 3: Good health and well-being Tuesday, 10 June 2025

Yogyakarta, June/10/2025 – The UGM Senate Hall was filled with a sense of anticipation as members of the academic community gathered to witness the inauguration of Prof. Dr. Atik Triratnawati, M.A., a prominent figure in the field of Health Anthropology at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). The event, held from 09:00 to 10:00 WIB, featured an inspiring inaugural speech titled “Masuk Angin as a Cultural Phenomenon.”

In her address, Prof. Atik emphasized that three cultural dimensions—systems of ideas, cultural behavior, and cultural artifacts (Spradley, 1972)—can be used to understand the concept of masuk angin. She explained that masuk angin as a system of ideas reflects cultural conceptions of health, illness, and traditional healing philosophies.

As cultural behavior, masuk angin is evident in how the Javanese people choose various healing methods. Prof. Atik highlighted traditional practices such as using ancient coins for kerokan (a traditional scraping therapy), along with balms, oils, and spices—whether in drink form or packaged in sachets—as important components of the healing process (Triratnawati, 2012).

She also pointed out that the term masuk angin has evolved beyond its original health-related context and is now used metaphorically in political and economic discourse. This shift illustrates the dynamic nature of cultural expressions and their relevance in multiple aspects of daily life.

Prof. Atik’s research aligns with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in promoting access to affordable medicine and achieving health equity. She stressed that understanding cultural practices surrounding health is key to developing effective and inclusive healthcare strategies.

The event was attended by distinguished guests, including academics, students, and health practitioners, all eager to engage with Prof. Atik’s insights. The atmosphere reflected deep academic interest and enthusiasm, as attendees acknowledged the importance of integrating cultural perspectives into health discourse.

In her closing remarks, Prof. Atik encouraged the audience to appreciate the richness of cultural knowledge and its impact on health and well-being. She called for collective efforts to promote affordable healthcare and to consider cultural contexts when addressing health issues.

The inauguration of Prof. Dr. Atik Triratnawati, M.A. marked a significant milestone in her academic journey and underscored the vital role of anthropology in understanding health practices. Her work serves as a strong reminder of the need for cultural sensitivity in healthcare to help achieve the SDGs.

As the event concluded, participants left with renewed inspiration, motivated by Prof. Atik’s dedication to bridging the worlds of culture and health. The UGM academic community looks forward to her continued contributions to the advancement of Health Anthropology and inclusive healthcare solutions.
