---

 

The Scholarship Office of Atma Jaya Catholic University of Indonesia held the event of Matriculation for New Student Grantees (MABASA) in 2022, with the main theme “Diversity Drives Innovation.” This event was held on September 3 2022 in Hall D, Semanggi Campus. MABASA is one of the orientation events for new students that can help them get acquainted with each other as student grantees and adapt to the new learning methods and environment. The new student grantees were also introduced to the staff of the Scholarship Office as well as their counsellors, which will ensure a smooth communication among them throughout their study. The information regarding their responsibilities as student grantees was also shared in order that they did not encounter any significant academic and administrative issues and they could focus on their self-development as student grantees.

 

This event featured some interesting sessions, including a campus tour, sharing sessions, and games, which were aimed at fostering the camaraderie among the participants and enhancing their knowledge regarding the life at campus. One of the sessions called “Love Notes” managed to keep the student grantees excited as they could write their feelings and ideas assertively and share them to others.

 

The new student grantees were also introduced to their seniors who were also student grantees in small groups divided based on each faculty. In this session, the seniors shared their experience studying at the university, completing their tasks and achieving well in their study. Through this session, the student grantees got to know each other better, which could serve as means of support for these new students in their adaptation to the new environment and motivate them to stay committed and responsible as student grantees. Moreover, these students will be continuously assisted so that they can finish their study with flying colors.

 

The new student grantees were very excited to take part in the event until the end, and it is hoped that this event can be beneficial for the new student grantees in that it can help support their academic activities so that they can achieve their dreams and seize a better future.
