Every year, FPH UI welcomes family members with diverse backgrounds and school origins. Entering the world of lectures is something new and still feels foreign to them. Therefore, we need a forum that facilitates their transition from students to students. OKK IM FPH UI 2023 led by Louise Jannet Devany designed the FPH UI 2023 PSAF (Introduction to Faculty Academic System) activities for new undergraduate students’ class of 2023 as a place to introduce the academic system that will be followed in college life. The PSAF series was held for 2 (two) days in the Hall of Building G FPH UI, namely on August 16 and August 18, 2023, offline and in the form of seminars filled with various speakers from internal to external scope of FPH UI.
This event was attended by Prof. dr. Mondastri Korib Sudaryo, M.S., D.Sc., who advised that apart from being knowledgeable human beings, we are also expected to be able to sharpen our souls with art to achieve intellectual harmony and beauty of the soul. They can get this at FPH UI. New students who attended the PSAF event series also received many encouraging words to gain knowledge at FPH UI. “A public health expert also needs to establish inter-professional communication, especially the profession in the RIK (Health Science Cluster) because in the future we will collaborate together,” added the Deputy Dean for Education, Research and Student Affairs, Dr. Ir. Asih Setiarini, M.Sc. FPH UI Student Affairs Manager, Dien Ashari, S.Sos., M.Sc., Ph.D., also emphasized that lectures should be used as a place to increase self-potential, seek opportunities, and learn to manage time well.
Overall, the series of PSAF events were filled with seminars that introduced the job prospects of FPH UI graduates and the introduction of MBKM, internalization of 9 (Nine) UI values and the introduction of FPH UI which has been named one of the work units with the title Zone of Integrity Free Area from Corruption, as well as access to Faculty Services Unit. Apart from that, there was also a presentation on information about the Academic Unit, Information Technology Unit, and SIAK-NG socialization.
PSAF is also equipped with material from each study program, where new students will be grouped by study program to be introduced to what they will learn in the future.
Through PSAF activities, it is hoped that new students will get to know FPH UI better and be excited to start their journey and explore as much potential as possible here. (PUC)
