Through student activities, students are encouraged not only to excel in competitions, but also to develop character, leadership, teamwork, creativity, and social awareness.
With full support from university leaders, the UNDIP contingents are expected to perform at their best, uphold sportsmanship, expand networks among students and universities, and gain valuable experience throughout the competitions.
