“Organization and education are like a needle and thread that cannot be separated. The organization is a container for the practical implementation of the knowledge or theory that we get in the world of education. Therefore, the younger generation should not waste time at a young age, explore many things in college and organization because it will be useful in life after graduation.”
“Undip is not only a place to study but has become a second home for me. I have had many opportunities to take part in various activities outside of lectures, have lecturers who provide a lot of insight into both lecture material and post-campus preparation, convenience in the campus administration system, and supporting facilities during lectures in class and online. Thank you and success for Undip!” concluded Silvi. (Lin/Joshua – Public Relations)
