After the vice rector 4 read the report followed by the vice rector 3, then Rector of Unisma put on alma mater coats on the two new students symbolically, and then followed by all new students that are joining New Student Orientation both offline and online.
This current event was also enlivened by performing dances and beautiful song performed by new students, which made the New Student Orientation even more active and dynamic. Undoubtedly, this event will be very memorable for the new students in the future.
The rector of UNISMA, Prof. Dr. H. Maskuri, M.Si. in his speech said: “ Unisma is indeed an Islamic university because it is indeed the Nahdlatul Ulama Campus which was founded by Ulama as a superior campus because Unisma is included in the category of superior campus and a multicultural campus because the students come from various countries, cultures, and ethnicities”.
He also advised that the future is not achieved by people who like to sit idly by and are not eager to study. The future is for those who are willing to study hard and are able to face various obstacles of the times and have an entrepreneurial spirit, he added.
The New Student Orientation is hoped to be able to motivate new students to study hard and be able to adapt to campus life well, so that they can finally go home with honorary degrees and be beneficial to the surrounding community, Amen ya Rabbal Alamiin.
