It’s Not Just About Anesthesia: UNISA Yogyakarta Anesthesia Students Learn Personal Branding and Digital Money Literacy

,

There is something different happening at the ‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta campus. While third-semester students in the Anesthesiology Nursing Study Program are usually busy with their Entrepreneurship course, this time they have been given time off for an equally important event.

Instead, the Student Affairs and Alumni Office (BKA) of UNISA Yogyakarta organized a seminar titled “Unlocking Your Future: Building Your Personal Branding and Financial Management for Career Success” at the Siti Moendjijah Building on Thursday (October 2, 2025).

The Head of BKA UNISA Yogyakarta, Yekti Satriyandari, S.ST., M.Kes., emphasized that this event was not merely a substitute for regular classes. Its purpose was to provide new insights into personal development and, equally crucially, financial management in the digital age.

“We want to equip students with new insights related to self-development and digital financial management as preparation for their future,” said Yekti when met at the location.

Without hesitation, two expert speakers were invited. The first session was presented by Kinan Himawati, who discussed the topic of Building Personal Branding. The 200 students in attendance were encouraged to understand the importance of building a positive self-image as a key asset in their careers, including effective strategies for leveraging personal strengths to promote themselves and create opportunities.

The second session was no less exciting. Cintya Auricalsita, representing blu by BCA Digital, thoroughly discussed Digital Cash Stuffing. This is a modern method of managing money that utilizes fintech. Students were taught modern and wiser ways to manage income and expenses so they don’t go broke. The seminar was closed with a very interactive question and answer session.

Unisa Yogyakarta Emphasizes the Importance of Early Issue Identification in Crisis Management

,

The Head of the Protocol and Public Relations Bureau at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta, Sinta Maharani, emphasized the importance of sensitivity to issues before a crisis occurs within an institution. According to her, crises can arise quickly, especially in the era of social media, where everything goes viral.

“Before a crisis, there are always issues that must be identified. Sometimes not everyone realizes this, considering it to be just rumors. However, if we are not sensitive and ignore it, it can become a crisis,” said Sinta during a visit by the Communication Studies Program of Muhammadiyah University Klaten to Unisa Yogyakarta on Tuesday (10/21/2025).

Sinta explained that issue and crisis management at Unisa involves both internal and external stakeholders. One of the steps taken is a public hearing with students, which serves as a platform to directly hear the aspirations and expectations of the academic community.

“Gen Z characters respond quickly to stimuli, so we must be smart in identifying them. During public hearings, we invite campus leaders to show our focus on addressing issues early on,” he explained.

Additionally, Unisa Yogyakarta utilizes various digital channels to gather public feedback, ranging from the ‘Help Us Improve’ feature via QR codes located around campus, social media channels like Instagram, to the feedback and suggestion section on the official website. Every month, the Public Relations team collaborates with relevant units to follow up on the feedback received.

“If an issue is not identified, it could become a runaway problem. Therefore, we ensure there is communication and follow-up with technical units. There is a deadline for this,” added Sinta.

On this occasion, Sinta also shared a number of real experiences in dealing with crises that Unisa Yogyakarta had experienced. In several crises faced, Unisa Yogyakarta went through three stages. First, Pre-Crisis, which is planning and preparation in case of a crisis, including training and simulations. Then, during the crisis, which is crisis management and evaluation. After the crisis, one of the things done is monitoring.

Dani Kurniawan, Head of the Communication Studies Program at Muhammadiyah University of Klaten, stated that this activity provides students with hands-on experience in understanding public relations practices in the real world.

“Our course includes crisis management. In the CPMK program, there is a section on how to manage a crisis within an institution. We conducted this PR visit because we observed that Unisa Yogyakarta has faced several crises and recovered quickly,” explained Dani.

The ambition to have an international standard laboratory continues to be pursued by Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta. Without hesitation, the campus gathered its entire laboratory team to attend ISO 17025:2017 Training at the Siti Walidah Building on Saturday (18/10).

This initiative was joined by various units and programs, including the Radiology Program, Integrated Laboratory, Quality Assurance Agency, Medical Laboratory Technology (TLM) Program, Biotechnology Program, and Halal Center.

Sukamta thoroughly analyzed the ins and outs of the ISO 17025:2017 standard, including the application of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and the Plan-Do-Check-Action (PDCA) principle.

The Vice Rector I of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Sulistyaningsih, S.KM., M.HKes., emphasized the importance of this activity in many ways. According to her, this is preparation for Excellent accreditation.

“This activity is an important part of the preparation for ISO 17025:2017 accreditation, so that the laboratories at UNISA Yogyakarta not only meet national standards but are also recognized globally,” said Sulis.

Sukamta also emphasized that international standards do not allow for compromise. “Every Laboratory must ensure that all testing activities are carried out in accordance with procedures. The word ‘must’ in ISO standards means that procedures must be established and implemented consistently,” he explained.

As a follow-up, all participants will immediately begin drafting accreditation documents in a workshop. This step is expected to accelerate the recognition process from the National Accreditation Committee (KAN), making all UNISA Yogyakarta laboratories excellent, credible, and internationally competitive.
