“One thing that makes Undip special is the people in it. During my four years in college, I met many inspirational figures for whom I became role models. I am grateful that my education at Undip has been my life’s most beautiful and valuable period. I believe Undip has changed me into a new person,” said Alya Azkaa Adawya, a graduate of the Faculty of Medicine who was inaugurated at the 171st Diponegoro University graduation ceremony.

“Making academics a priority is the main thing for a student. But it is necessary to have soft skills because adapting in the real world is no less important. The organization is one of the best choices for trial and error to hone soft skills before entering into the adult world, which is full of surprises,” said the graduate with a GPA of 3.58.
“Through student organizations, I get to know the best people passionate in their fields and achieve many opportunities I have never had before. At organizations, I found a new family to continue to grow together to become the best version. We must always work together to create a supportive and comfortable environment to share experiences and exchange ideas,” she concluded. (LW/Nadella – Public Relations)
