The awarding of this decree marks a significant milestone in UNIKOM’s academic journey, further demonstrating its commitment to producing quality academics at the national level.

The Professorship Decree handover ceremony was held on Tuesday, January 2, 2025, in the Hall of Building A of the LLDIKTI Region IV. The handover ceremony is part of Region IV of the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI) efforts to provide appreciation and recognition for the dedication and contributions of lecturers in the fields of education and research.

Through the awarding of this decree, LLDIKTI Region IV hopes to motivate other lecturers to continue achieving and innovating, thereby contributing to improving the quality of higher education in Indonesia. Twelve lecturers from various universities received their Professorship Decrees on this occasion.

Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs of UNIKOM Prof. Dr. Hj. Umi Narimawati, Dra., SE., M.Si., M.Pd. who represented the Rector of UNIKOM when asked for information by the UNIKOM Public Relations Team said “As a Leader, a friend, of course I am very happy and proud to be able to accompany our closest people, our lecturers to achieve Professorship. The highest position and the highest achievement in the profession of a lecturer. This shows that UNIKOM consistently encourages its lecturers to continue to develop to achieve their highest careers. Obtaining a Professorship does not only show the personal performance of the Lecturer, for example currently Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, SE., M.Ak., but more broadly the performance of Faculty of Economic and Business and UNIKOM of course.

Prof. Umi also shared her experiences and tips for achieving the title of Professor, according to her, “Achieving the title of Professor is not easy, but it is not difficult either. There are quite a few requirements to be fulfilled: Doctoral education (S3), Concentration on certain expertise, a minimum GPA of 850, producing publications in reputable international journals, being active in academic organizations at the national and international levels, having a good reputation, and no less important is orderly administration related to the required documents according to the provisions of the university or UNIKOM institution, of course, to be submitted to DIKTI.” said Prof. Umi

Prof. Umi also advised, “I always say that if you want to succeed in achieving professorship, you need the ability to manage yourself with the principle of 5K: collaborative work between hard work, smart work, sincere work, and thorough work (Kerja kolaborasi antara Kerja keras, Kerja cerdas, Kerja ikhlas dan Kerja tuntas). With these five K, administrative requirements that have been felt difficult can be completed easily. Publication in reputable international journals will not be a burden. Always be positive and sincerely wait for God’s hand to move. Don’t let us have high expectations, then fail to fall into stress and then get sick,” she said.

Furthermore, Prof. Umi said, “Every lecturer who has a doctorate, is committed to their knowledge, loves their profession, and behaves well already has a ticket to become a Professor. Don’t be discouraged, my dear friends at UNIKOM. You can definitely become a Professor, depending on your intention. You must be sincere and honest. You must be kind to everyone so that prayers continue to flow to you,” she concluded.

Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA. also shared her experience in obtaining the title of Professor. She said, “The process of obtaining a Professorship is a long journey that cannot be entirely attributed to personal effort. This title is the result of a collaborative effort between various supporting elements, including the institution, family environment, colleagues, and the Creator’s destiny. Timing also plays a crucial role in this process, from opportunities that come at the right time to the ability to be patient and continue the process without rushing. Each phase has its own moment, and often the best results emerge at the right time. The institution plays a significant role in providing opportunities for growth, while colleagues, mentors, and friends provide invaluable guidance, motivation, and assistance. Family became a place to lean on when facing challenges, and students are often a source of inspiration that pushes us to give our best. This process also includes technical stages that must be completed, such as collecting and calculating credit points for education, teaching, research, and community service. After that, the files are submitted for verification by the university, the senate, and the University Integrity Team, before finally being evaluated by LLDikti and Dikti,” she explained.

Furthermore, Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA said, “More than just a technical achievement, the title of Professor is a mandate to serve more people with the knowledge that has been trusted. This title teaches humility, that every achievement is the result of the synergy of many parties, not just personal hard work. The challenge in achieving this title is not only about fulfilling the requirements, but also about preparing yourself to bring greater benefits to society and science.” She concluded.

The handover of this decree also demonstrates UNIKOM’s commitment to continuously improving the quality of education within the higher education environment. As an institution that consistently supports human resource development, UNIKOM hopes that more lecturers will follow in the steps of Prof. Dr. Siti Kurnia Rahayu, S.E., M.Ak., Ak., CA., in developing their skills and contributing to the world of education.

Bandung City Government and LLDIKTI Region IV Launch a Waste Handling Program Involving 99 Universities: Unikom is One of the Driving Parents

BANDUNG, UNIKOM – The issue of waste has become a major problem that continues to threaten environmental sustainability in Bandung. In response, the Bandung City Government, in collaboration with Region IV of the Higher Education Service Institution (LLDIKTI), launched the Waste Management Program as a concrete effort to address this issue. The program, involving 99 private universities in Bandung, aims to make a significant contribution to waste management by prioritizing collaboration between academics, government, and the community.

As part of this initiative, the Universitas Komputer Indonesia (UNIKOM) Bandung participated in this major mission. This program is a form of UNIKOM’s dedication to the community, in accordance with the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, which includes teaching, research, and community service. The program ran for a full month, starting in late 2024.

UNIKOM Bandung was given the responsibility to handle waste in an area located on Jalan Ir. H. Djuanda, specifically in RT 05 RW 09, Dago Village, Coblong District, Bandung City. This village has a fairly dense population, divided into 13 neighborhood groups, making it an area that presents significant challenges in waste management.

Field Supervisor Lecturer, Assoc Prof. Dr. Hidayat S.Kom., M.T when interviewed said “I feel proud to be able to accompany UNIKOM students in the waste sorting socialization activity in Dago Village, Bandung City. This activity held by the Region IV of Higher Education Service Institution is a real proof of the students’ contribution in educating the community to support better and more sustainable waste management.” He said

Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hidayat further stated, “The residents’ active participation in this activity demonstrates their concern for environmental cleanliness. I hope this program can continue and inspire students and the community to work together to create Bandung as a clean and environmentally friendly city.” He concluded.

UNIKOM Student Affairs Director Andreas Darmayadi, S.IP., M.Sc., Ph.D. when asked for information said “Alhamdulillah, the Bandung City Waste Management Group from UNIKOM was able to complete all the tasks and mandates from LLDIKTI Region IV. I really appreciate the performance of all Team Members and PIC Lecturers who consistently and enthusiastically help with waste management in neighborhood groups (RT/RW) around the Unikom Campus. We know that Bandung City is currently experiencing a waste emergency situation, hopefully with the contribution of the UNIKOM Waste Management Team, it can help raise public awareness to sort and manage waste properly and wisely.” he said

The solutions and assistance provided by Unikom include: 1. Community training and education, ensuring all activities run according to plan and acting as a communicator between students and the Environmental Management Team (DPL). 2. Improved sorting facilities, divided into two categories: organic waste processed into compost, inorganic waste sorted and sold to recycling collectors, and residual waste made into crafts. 3. Awareness Campaign, with 80% of the public’s awareness of the importance of waste sorting significantly increasing. 4. Collaboration with Related Parties.

This program is expected to encourage all elements of society to work together to create a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment. Through this collaboration, UNIKOM and other universities in Bandung are committed to providing real solutions to the increasingly pressing waste problem. (Directorate of Hms & Pro)
