The Unika Atma Jaya Scholarship Office
together with the Management Committee of the Student Grantees successfully
held the Bonding Day (Hakrab) and Internal Seminar 2023. The event was held for
two days one night on Saturday, September 16, 2023 to Sunday, September 17 2023
in Campus III BSD Unika Atma Jaya. The event involved all the student grantees
with a total number of around 300 students, along with former scholarship
grantees and the invited speakers. The event featured the theme “Get Solidarity
with Chemistry,” which aimed to cultivate the understanding about the
importance of strong relations and networking among the student grantees as
well as the alumni in supporting their study at Unika Atma Jaya and their
post-study activities afterwards.
The presentations and sharing sessions related to the theme “Get Solidarity with Chemistry” were the highlights of the first day of the event. The presentations were delivered by Mr. Dominikus David Biondi Situmorang and Ms. Chrestali Yohana as the former scholarship grantees of Unika Atma Jaya who had excellent experience and track records in their careers as educators and industry professionals, respectively. The interesting presentations by the speakers received positive reactions from the attendees, as shown by the myriads of questions given to the speakers. After the seminar ended, all of the participants were divided into groups and given challenges to test their solidarity and chemistry. Each group also needed to prepare their best group chants and performances to be shown in the evening.
On the second day, all participants were
involved in group activities, including team sports, games, and presentations
given by the Unika Atma Jaya Scholarship Office concerning the regulations for
the student grantees to follow at Unika Atma Jaya throughout their study. The
activities during the Bonding Day and Internal Seminar 2023 (Hakrab) were hoped
to provide a venue for the student grantees and the alumni to foster a good
relation between each other. Through the Hakrab event, all participants are
expected to have better understanding and motivation to develop their
competence, particularly in how they build up solidarity and good team-work
skills.
