Eddy Soeryanto Soegoto, M.T., as Chairperson of APTISI West Java, who carries the spirit of “advancing together and succeeding together,” so that UNIKOM is always open and ready to share experiences for the common good.
Meanwhile, Dr. Jan Horas V. Purba, Ir., M.Si., expressed his appreciation for UNIKOM’s openness in sharing institutional knowledge and experience. He considered that UNIKOM’s reputation as a leading university, including its national award in public relations from the Directorate General of Higher Education, was a strong motivation for IBI Kesatuan Bogor to conduct a direct comparative study. He said that the various inputs obtained would be immediately followed up and implemented at IBI Kesatuan Bogor.
The activity continued with an interactive discussion that took place dynamically and constructively. The discussion was the core of the comparative study activity, discussing a number of strategic points that were of concern to both institutions. The topics discussed included academic system and curriculum management, student management and development, public relations and protocol management, implementation of cooperation through MoU and MoA schemes, and strengthening the Career Center in providing career guidance services for students and alumni.
Through this discussion, both institutions exchanged experiences, policies, and best practices that have been implemented in their respective fields. The forum was also used to explore opportunities for joint program development oriented towards improving the quality of academic and non-academic services, with the hope of establishing sustainable institutional cooperation between UNIKOM and IBI Kesatuan Bogor to improve the quality and competitiveness of higher education at the national level.
