“Alumni, as a source of information about the professional world, are expected to make significant contributions to our graduates who are striving to secure jobs. This will ensure that FMIPA graduates obtain employment opportunities that, in turn, support FMIPA USU’s accreditation,” she explained. Furthermore, FMIPA USU is undergoing internationalization transformation. To achieve this goal, FMIPA USU focuses on its World Class University program, faculty branding, international accreditation preparation, and infrastructure upgrades such as international-standard smart classrooms and other facilities, she added.

These cards will also offer promotions through partnerships with participating merchants.

This year’s Alumni Gathering not only served as a reunion for alumni with their professors and campus environment but also included discussions on strategies and programs to advance FMIPA in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology study programs. These discussions were led by each program’s head, with secretaries acting as moderators.
