Completing the study period and attending the graduation ceremony are two of the moments most eagerly awaited by students. All the joys and sorrows of studying while studying are paid off when a graduate is inaugurated at the graduation ceremony. This feeling was felt by Nurul Azizah Dian Rahmawati, a graduate who graduated with cum laude honors from the Faculty of Medicine, Diponegoro University (FK Undip).
Nurul officially graduated on Wednesday, January 31, 2024, at the Prof. Soedarto SH Building, Undip Tembalang Campus, at Undip’s 173rd Phase 5 Graduation Ceremony Phase 5. Nurul, who is a medical student, graduated with a GPA of 3.72.
In college, Nurul took part in various activities such as organizations, championships and research. “The main focus is, of course, on the academic field. However, there are several activities outside of my study responsibilities that I am involved in. I carry out all these activities continuously by prioritizing responsibility and priorities in their implementation so that nothing is forgotten,” said Nurul.
Nurul has recorded several national achievements, such as 3rd Place in Outstanding Undergraduate Student at Diponegoro University 2023; 2nd Place in the 2023 All Indonesia Pharmaceutical Competition Scientific Essay Competition (KOFEIN) at Universitas Airlangga; Recipient of funding for the Republic of Indonesia Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology Student Creativity Program (PKM-RE) 2023; Finalist Research Competition Indonesian International Medical Olympiad (IIMO) BAPIN ISMKI 2023; 2nd Place in the 2023 Diponegoro University Faculty of Medicine Student Science Week; 2nd Place for Outstanding Student in ISMKI Region 3 2022; 2nd Place in the 2022 Airlangga Medical Journalism Festival (AMJF) Public Poster Competition; 3rd Place in the 2022 Diponegoro Medical Students Competition (DIMSCO) Literature Review Competition; 1st Place in Andalas University Pharmacy Science Essay Competition 2021; and 3rd Place in the 2021 Bali Health Student Meeting in Prevention Issues (BHSMPI) Public Poster Competition.
Apart from that, Nurul also has achievements in international competitions, including the Silver Medal in World Invent Singapore 2023; Thailand Special Award for The Best International Invention and Innovation in World Invent Singapore 2023; Silver Medal in Thailand Inventors Day 2023; Gold Medal in All American Davinci International Innovation and Invention Expo 2022; Gold Medal in Malaysia Technology Expo 2022; Gold Medal in World Young Inventors Exhibition 2022; Special Award From GCC Saudi Arabia in World Young Inventors Exhibition 2022; Gold Medal in Indonesia Inventors Day 2022; and Bronze Medal in Archimedes: Moscow International Salon of Inventions and Innovation Technologies 2022.
Good facilities and policies, of course, support Nurul’s academic and non-academic achievements. “One thing that I am grateful for is that the competition fee reimbursement process that can be submitted has a positive impact on the students’ fighting spirit in competing. Hopefully, in the future, the facilities and appreciation can continue to be added so that the climate of achievement can continue,” he explained.
In her interview with the Undip Public Relations team, Nurul conveyed a message to fellow students to fill their study time by continuing to explore existing potential, build relationships, discover themselves, create dreams, and start the journey to achieve them.
“Face everything and instill in yourself that there will always be a way for every good intention supported by prayer and effort. Tiredness, tears and prayers will be paid off with smiles and pride for ourselves and our loved ones later,” said Nurul.
