Awards were given to the competition winners and presented at the MTQM closing ceremony on Thursday evening (9/11/2023) at the Samantha Krida Auditorium, Brawijaya University.
With a preparation process of one and a half months, the Undip contingent was able to achieve impressive results. Moreover, many of the Undip contingent are still new students. Taking part in this MTQM competition is an effort to learn. The results achieved this year are the result of the hard work of the participants. In the future, the development of young talents at Undip will be further improved so that it can accommodate the talents of Undip students.
“We hope that this coaching will get better. Hopefully, Undip has something like a UKM (Student Activity Unit) that accommodates creativity or talents from the Qur’an in particular. It would be even better if there were a special UKM that deals with MTQ issues,” said Nur Fauzan Ahmad, S.S., M.A., Chair of the Undip MTQM Committee.
