UGM’s Arabic Study Program Welcomes the 2025/2026 Academic Year with Academic Supervisor Meeting

Yogyakarta, August 19, 2025 – The Arabic Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), opened the 2025/2026 academic year with a warm and meaningful gathering between Academic Supervisors and their students. This event served not only as an academic briefing but also as a space to strengthen personal connections, ensuring students have a clearer roadmap for their journey at Arabic Study Program UGM.

The Academic Supervisors personally greeted their mentees, fostering closer communication and interaction. The session continued with a review of students’ credit achievements (SKS) and a reminder of the academic credit system, encouraging students to design effective learning strategies for the semesters ahead. In addition, the supervisors introduced students to the projection of their final projects, giving them an early picture of the possible paths they could take in preparing for their culminating academic work.

Beyond academics, students were reminded of the importance of building a professional digital footprint during their time at UGM. They were encouraged to utilize platforms such as LinkedIn to record achievements, experiences, and personal growth. This simple yet strategic step is expected to lay a strong foundation for future careers while supporting the university’s Key Performance Indicators (IKU).

In line with this, the meeting also highlighted opportunities offered by the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, which enables students to strengthen both hard skills and soft skills through experiential learning beyond the classroom.

The session concluded with an emphasis on nurturing student achievement. The Arabic Study Program reaffirmed its commitment to fully supporting students in developing their potential—both academic and non-academic—so that they may grow into graduates who are excellent, competitive, and ready to contribute meaningfully to society.

UGM KKN-PPM Students Introduce Mangrove Tourism Through Multilingual Signboards

West Java, July 29, 2025 – Students from the Arabic Literature Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), have installed multilingual tourism signboards at Batu Nunggul Beach as part of their 2025 KKN-PPM (Community Service Program). The initiative aims to serve both as directional guidance and educational outreach by incorporating three languages: Indonesian, Arabic, and English.

This effort seeks to raise public awareness about the untapped tourism potential of the local mangrove ecosystem, particularly in areas that remain under-visited due to a lack of accessible information.

Signboards bearing the words “Mangrove” and “Pantai Batu Nunggul Beach” were placed along the coastal paths leading to the mangrove area, guiding visitors to the site. Beyond functioning as navigational aids, the signs also act as educational tools, promoting environmental preservation and spotlighting lesser-known tourist destinations.

The project aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4: Quality Education and SDG 15: Life on Land, reinforcing commitments to inclusive education and terrestrial ecosystem protection.

UGM KKN-PPM Students Educate Getrakmoyan Residents on Turning Plastic Waste into Eco-Friendly Paving Blocks

UGM KKN-PPM Students Educate Getrakmoyan Residents on Turning Plastic Waste into Eco-Friendly Paving Blocks

Cirebon, July 27, 2025 – As part of their community engagement initiative, students from Universitas Gadjah Mada’s Community Service and Empowerment Learning Program (KKN-PPM) carried out a waste management program in Getrakmoyan Village, Pangenan District, Cirebon Regency, West Java. The program, titled “Eco Paving Education for a Sustainable Environment,” aims to address plastic pollution through practical, community-based solutions.

This interdisciplinary initiative brought together Anisah A’bidah, a student from the Arabic Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences (Social Sciences track), and Sandhi Vardhana Rally, a student from the Civil Engineering Program, Faculty of Engineering (Science and Technology track). Conducted on July 19 and 26, 2025, the program empowered local communities through a hands-on workshop on producing environmentally friendly paving blocks made from recycled plastic waste. The main beneficiaries were the village government and the local Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), identified as key partners for ensuring the program’s sustainability.

The project began with a survey to map the potential and volume of plastic waste in the area, providing a foundation for developing technical training materials and implementation strategies. The team then collaborated with local leaders and BUMDes representatives to finalize the execution plan. All necessary tools and materials — including used drums, firewood, and plastic waste — were sourced independently by the team, while the paving molds were purchased by the students to support the production process.

The program received a warm welcome from Getrakmoyan Village Head, Mr. Junandi, who praised the initiative as both innovative and unprecedented in the village. “We greatly appreciate this activity, which offers practical benefits and could become a long-term solution to our plastic waste problem. We hope the results can not only be used for public facilities but also be developed further by the village or BUMDes as a viable economic product,” he stated.

With strong community involvement and institutional support from the village government, the project is expected to serve as a sustainable waste management model at the local level. Furthermore, this initiative contributes directly to the realization of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities, SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.

Through collaboration, education, and innovation, UGM students are helping communities turn waste into opportunity — creating not only paving blocks, but also pathways toward a more sustainable future.
