The next stage is the final selection, consisting of presentations and interviews, which will take place on May 11–13, 2026. Each team will present its proposed program before a national evaluation panel.
Grace Alice Tiantya Putri from the FEB UNDIP Student Executive Board (BEM FEB UNDIP) stated that advancing to the presentation stage was a highly meaningful first step for her team. She explained that the proposal preparation process was challenging, involving numerous stages from conceptual design to repeated revisions that demanded considerable time, energy, and thought.
Nevertheless, the team’s enthusiasm to directly contribute to and benefit the community, especially in Bejaten Village, became the main driving force behind their continued improvement and best efforts. According to her, this opportunity is not merely about achievement, but also about creating real impact through community service activities.
