BANDUNG, UNIKOM – ASPIKOM (Communication Science Education Association) is an organization that accommodates Communication Science study programs in universities throughout Indonesia. Established to improve the quality of education, research, and community service in the field of communication, ASPIKOM also acts as a forum for cooperation between institutions and stakeholders in the field of communication. For this reason, to strengthen collaboration and update the development of communication, ASPIKOM held a halal bi halal (halbil) event at the Bandung West Java Regional Office on Thursday, May 1, 2025.
The event was attended by Aspikom Jabar Board of Experts Prof. Dr. Asep Saiful Muhtadi, Aspikom Jabar Board of Trustees Prof. Atwar Bajari, ISKI Jabar Chairperson Athalia Praratya, Prof. Dian Wardiana Suchro, Dr. Sutrisno, and Aspikom Jabar Chairperson Dr. Ani Yuningsih, as well as Heads of Department, deans, and Aspikom Jabar administrators.
At the opening ceremony, the chief executive, Dr. Ir. Yuni Dahlia Mogot, M.Si., a lecturer of communication studies at UNIKOM, acted as the coordinator of the ASPIKOM organization as well as the chief executive of the halal bi halal activity. She said that the participants who attended this activity were 80 people from 24 universities representing the Faculty and Communication Science study program in West Java, while the Chairperson of ASPIKOM Jabar, Dr. Ani Yuningsih, in her remarks, said that she was very happy for the support and presence of the Faculty leaders from PT Jabar.
Furthermore, Dr. Ani also emphasized that “we must always maintain the cohesiveness of the brotherhood that has been established to be able to continue to be improved, and we must be proud that ASPIKOM Jabar is the best ASPIKOM in Indonesia” she said.
While the Board of Trustees of Aspikom Jabar Prof. Atwar Bajari said, improving the Communication Science Study Program is no longer negotiable because it has become part of the accreditation instrument. In ASPIKOM, all study programs can improve their respective accreditation so that their performance can be better. “I see, this West Java ASPIKOM seems ordinary, but it turns out that its activities have gone to Thailand, Japan, and there are also many internal coaching activities. So let’s keep improving together even though we are in an era of extraordinary efficiency,” he said.
Also present at the event were Dr. Desayu Eka Surya, S.Sos., M.Si., CICS, as the Head of the Master of Communication Studies Program at the UNIKOM Postgraduate Faculty as well as the ASPIKOM management in the field of cooperation, Dr. Manap Solihat, M.Si., Head of the UNIKOM FISIP Communication Science Undergraduate Study Program, and Dr. Ir. Yuni Dahlia Mogot, M.Si., who is a UNIKOM Communication Science lecturer. He acted as the Coordinator of the ASPIKOM Organization as well as the Chief Executive of the Halal Bi Halal activity. Dr. Ir. Desayu as the Chairperson of the newly established Master of Communication Science Study Program at UNIKOM, said that she was very grateful to be able to attend the HBH and FGD held by ASPIKOM Jabar, so as to get information about the accreditation of the Communication Science Study Program at the Bachelor, Master and Doctoral levels starting January 2025 carried out under the assessment of the Self-Accreditation Institute for Social, Political, Administrative Sciences and Communication LAMSPAK, and Communication LAMSPAK.
The presence of UNIKOM Communication Science Lecturers in the ASPIKOM Forum symbolizes the importance of UNIKOM’s role in encouraging synergy across communication education institutions at the national level and reflects the commitment of Communication Science study programs ranging from doctoral, masters and bachelor at the undergraduate level to continue to strengthen academic networks and improve the quality of communication education in Indonesia, especially in West Java.
