Cultural Harmony and Internationalization, Unisa Yogyakarta Welcomes Thousands of New Students

,

 A warm atmosphere enveloped the morning at ‘Aisyiyah University (Unisa) Yogyakarta as thousands of new students gathered in front of the Siti Walidah Building at Unisa Yogyakarta on Tuesday (September 16, 2025). Thousands of students from various parts of Indonesia and even the world were welcomed by their new Unisa Yogyakarta family.

The university administration, dressed in traditional Javanese attire, entered the courtyard of the Siti Walidah Building by riding a becak, a traditional mode of transportation deeply rooted in the daily life of Yogyakarta’s community. Cheers and enthusiastic greetings accompanied the arrival of the Rector and Vice Rector of Unisa Yogyakarta.

This year, Unisa Yogyakarta accepted 2,508 new students, 18 of whom are international students. Twelve are from Timor Leste, one from Ghana, one from Nigeria, three from Thailand, and one from Sudan.

“New students at Unisa Yogyakarta come from 36 of Indonesia’s 38 provinces. All islands are represented. There are also international students from Timor Leste, Ghana, Nigeria, Thailand, and Sudan. We should be proud to be new students at Unisa Yogyakarta,” said Unisa Yogyakarta Rector Warsiti on Tuesday (September 16, 2025).

The presence of Unisa Yogyakarta as a place of learning for foreign students further strengthens the internationalization efforts of Unisa Yogyakarta. “We are indeed strengthening our internationalization efforts. However, we in Yogyakarta must also introduce Yogyakarta as a city of culture. Earlier, we used becak transportation and wore Javanese costumes. We hope that new students will also uphold cultural values,” said Warsiti.

Warsiti also hopes that new students at Unisa Yogyakarta can become resilient, have integrity, be capable of working and making an impact. “Not only achieving a good GPA, but also having a disciplined, honest, and never-give-up character. Becoming people who provide broader benefits,” said Waristi.

The General Chairperson of the Central Leadership (PP) of ‘Aisyiyah, Salmah Orbayinah, assessed that Unisa Yogyakarta has more advantages than other campuses. Not only campuses under ‘Aisyiyah, but also other campuses outside of it.

Salmah hopes that students can become outstanding scholars with noble character and high moral standards. “Then, not only scholars but also leaders, future leaders of the nation. It is hoped that they will be able to become agents of change for Indonesia for the better,” said Salmah.

One of the international students, Sulaiman A. Majeed, considers Indonesia one of the best countries, with many people wanting to live in Indonesia, especially from Africa. “Then I saw Unisa Yogyakarta and saw its development. I decided to study at Unisa Yogyakarta and I was accepted. I was very happy to hear that,” said the student from Sudan.

Sulaiman chose the Information Technology program at Unisa Yogyakarta. He hopes to follow the lectures well and complete his studies on time.

Pursuing the Target of 0% Stunting, UNISA Yogyakarta Lecturers Collaborate with ‘Aisyiyah Cadres in the Palace

,

The number of families at risk of stunting in Yogyakarta City, which reached 33% in 2022, is a serious concern. In response to this, a team of lecturers from Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta collaborated with the Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah Branch Leadership (PCNA) Kraton to reactivate the Nasyiatul ‘Aisyiyah Millennial Youth Health Post (PasmiNA).

This step was taken because the most effective prevention of stunting begins long before pregnancy, namely during adolescence. The Community Partnership Program (PKM) team from UNISA Yogyakarta provided intensive training to new PasmiNA cadres.

The head of the PKM team, Bdn. Esitra Herfanda, S.ST., M.Keb., explained that the cadres were equipped with various skills. These include understanding reproductive health, adolescent nutrition, anthropometric measurement techniques (weight and height), and early detection of anemia through hemoglobin (Hb) testing.

“The trained cadres will conduct health examinations and provide counseling for their peers,” Esitra stated in her remarks.

After the training, the cadres immediately began providing health services. The teenagers who were examined said they were happy to be able to find out their nutritional status and health condition, something they rarely had access to before.

Funded by the Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture, the program does not stop there. The UNISA Yogyakarta lecturer team will continue to monitor the implementation of health services and has established cooperation with the Kraton Community Health Center to ensure the program’s sustainability.

From Campus to Village, Thousands of New Students at Unisa Yogyakarta Introduce Solutions to Waste Management

,

Thousands of new students at Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (Unisa) Yogyakarta are tackling the issue of waste, starting from around the campus. New students (Maba) at Unisa Yogyakarta introduced Losida, or kitchen waste bins, as a solution for processing organic waste in the Nogotirto, Gamping, Sleman area on Monday (September 15, 2025).

This social action stems from concerns about waste issues. Unisa Yogyakarta, as a health-oriented campus, is committed to contributing to solving this waste problem.

“Actually, we have previously implemented a plastic waste management program, and today we are also starting organic waste management. So, Losida is a simple innovation that functions as a medium for decomposing organic waste into fertilizer,” explained Unisa Yogyakarta Rector Warsiti after opening the Sapa Warga agenda.

In addition to benefiting environmental cleanliness, Warsiti hopes that Losida can also have economic value. “If it can be done continuously and sustainably, I am sure it will have an impact,” said Warsiti.

Warsiti hopes that through this Sapa Warga agenda, new students coming from various regions can live side by side with the residents. Students can also be expected to set a good example. “Our new students will certainly live with them (the residents), and we hope they can become pioneers of behavioral change in caring for the environment,” said Warsiti.

The head of Cambahan Hamlet, Solihin Nurcahyo, admitted that the issue of waste is still a big problem for the community. His side also welcomed the Losida program.

“Even though there are already officers who collect (waste), the Losida program also provides education. This means that the community can create their own solutions to deal with waste, especially kitchen waste,” said Solihin.

Solihin stated that the initiative from Unisa Yogyakarta will be developed by the community. In the initial phase, at least one Losida will be established in three households. “This serves as a model, which is important for education, so that the community can manage waste,” said Solihin.

Meanwhile, two new students at Unisa Yogyakarta, Muhammad Ilham and Nayla Nabila, admitted that this waste management activity was their first. They were also happy to be able to help the surrounding community.

“We ourselves have learned that organic waste can be processed into useful fertilizer. We are happy to be able to help the community around the campus to plant and utilize Losida,” they said.
