One of the initiatives is the implementation of Penerapan Sistem Penilaian Aktivitas Kemahasiswaan (SPAK), the Student Activity Assessment System, which was held on Saturday, February 1, 2025. Through this system, students in each study program are assessed based on both academic achievements and non-academic activities, such as extracurricular and soft skills development relevant to the professional world. 

    This event was attended by students and the Heads of Study Programs within FEB, including Assoc. Prof. Dr. Raeni Dwi Santy (Head of Management Study Program), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Sridewi Anggadini (Head of Accounting Study Program), Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wati Aris Astuti (Head of Vocational Accounting), and Dr. Rizky Zulfikar (Head of Vocational Finance and Banking and Vocational Marketing Management), all of whom fully supported the implementation of the system.

    On this occasion, Dr. Andrias Darmayadi, M.Si., Ph.D., Director of Student Affairs of UNIKOM, stated that SPAK is a strategic approach in measuring student participation in extracurricular activities and developing soft skills, which are important in the professional world.

    “SPAK is here to provide appreciation and encouragement for students to be more active in non-academic activities. This is an important step in developing graduates who are adaptive, innovative, and equipped with the competencies needed in the industry,” said Dr. Andrias Darmayadi.

    Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, the Dean of FEB UNIKOM, supports this commitment to improving student quality. She emphasized that the organizational culture within the faculty is strongly influenced by strategic commitments and leadership.

    During the discussion, it was explained that SPAK is a mandatory assessment standard for students before they can take their final project and thesis. This system consists of three aspects, including (1) Reasoning, which includes academic activities, research, and intellectual development; (2) Skills and Interests, which includes participation in organizations, arts, sports, and competitions; and (3) Religion and Social Community, which aims at fostering social awareness and contribution to religious activities. SPAK classifies student activities into “Mandatory” and “Elective” activities, with the requirement that students must achieve a minimum cumulative score. Activity is reported periodically each semester through the SPAK Information System, which requires students to upload evidence such as certificates of their achievements.

    In this event, students also gained practical insight about how SPAK can help them build a better portfolio to increase their competitiveness in the workplace. By implementing SPAK, FEB UNIKOM hopes that students understand the importance of integrating academic achievement and soft skills development. This implementation represents the commitment of FEB UNIKOM to produce graduates who are not only competent in their study fields but also in professional and social aspects.

  • Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    Increase Heart Health Awareness: Unikom Medical Center Holds Free Cholesterol Checkup

    BANDUNG, UNIKOM – Heart disease and stroke are the leading causes of death in the world. One of the main risk factors for these diseases is high cholesterol levels. The good news is that public awareness of the importance of regular cholesterol checks is increasing. Checking cholesterol levels regularly is a positive step in the prevention of heart disease and stroke. With early detection and a healthy lifestyle, we can maintain heart health and live longer. For example, UNIKOM Medical Center routinely carries out a free health examination program every month for all UNIKOM academicians, lecturers, staff, and students.

    UNIKOM Medical Center conducted a cholesterol level check on Thursday, February 5, 2025. Cholesterol examination is a blood test to measure the total amount of fat substances (cholesterol and triglycerides) in the blood. The blood check is useful for knowing whether someone has high cholesterol levels or not. Enthusiasm for today’s cholesterol check is quite high. Individual awareness, both from educators and students, of the importance of health is also high. However, the results showed that many participants had high cholesterol levels. Therefore, the medical team will continue to educate about the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle.

    dr. Rafika Astarina, as the doctor in charge of the program, said that “Many patients who come have high cholesterol. So we try to check regularly because we see the dangers of high cholesterol. We detect early, prevent, and also if there is indeed a high one, we try to educate, and if necessary, we give medicine,” she said. This activity aims to increase the awareness of lecturers, staff, and students of the importance of health. In addition, this activity also aims to provide education about healthy lifestyles, especially diet and regular exercise.

    Furthermore, dr. Rafika advised “Hopefully with this cholesterol check program, the academic community or UNIKOM students can further improve a healthy lifestyle because everything returns to the lifestyle of each individual. Now indeed our food cannot be avoided, but we can choose which one is good and which one is healthy. For UNIKOM’s own steps, it is very good, because it facilitates directly, so it does not only care about education but also health, especially for its employees and students,” she concluded.
    It is expected that free cholesterol examination programs such as those organized by UNIKOM Medical Center can continue to be carried out regularly. Therefore, it is increasing public awareness, especially in the UNIKOM academic community, about the importance of regular health checks. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
