Depok, February 9, 2026 — The Faculty of Public Health (FPH) at Universitas Indonesia welcomed an educational visit from SMA Labschool Ciracas held at the Doctoral Promotion Room of FPH UI. The activity was part of a university introduction program aimed at providing students with insights into higher education, particularly in the field of public health.
The visit was received by the Manager of Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Internationalization, and Alumni of FPH UI, Dr. Laila Fitria, S.K.M., M.K.M., along with the Secretary of the Undergraduate Environmental Health Study Program, Dr. Ema Hermawati, S.Si., M.K.M.
In her welcoming remarks, Dr. Laila Fitria expressed her appreciation for the visit from the students and accompanying teachers to FPH UI. She emphasized the importance of recognizing one’s interests and potential from an early stage before deciding on a study program.
“Choosing a major is not merely about following trends, but about understanding your passion and the kind of contribution you want to make to society. Public health is a very broad field and plays a strategic role in national development,” said Dr. Laila.

In addition to the presentation session, the activity also featured a sharing session with students facilitated by the Student Executive Board (BEM) of FPH UI. The university students shared their experiences regarding campus life, student organizations, and tips for adapting as new university students.
