“Regarding the narcotics issue, we welcome them well because we also don’t want our students to be exposed to it.

Later we expect that the campus can evaluate and include them in the curriculum of each faculty. The second is for community service from our students which we can be optimized. Likewise, we also hope that there will be students that write a thesis or dissertation surrounding the issue of narcotic drugs. ” Explained the Police Commissioner General Drs. Heru Winarko, S.H.
