Two Lcturers From UNISA Yogyakarta Take Part In Community Service In Malaysia

,

he Association of Communication Science Education of Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah Universities (APIK PTMA) organized an international community service activity in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Wednesday (30/4/2025). This activity was attended by around 20 PTMA lecturers from various campuses in Indonesia.

Two lecturers from Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta took part in this community service, namely Hari Akbar Sugiantoro and Alfian Muhazir. This activity aims to strengthen the branding of educational institutions managed by Indonesian communities abroad, with the event title ‘Branding Berkemajuan to Build a Positive Image of Educational Institutions in Malaysia’.

The event involved strategic partners, namely teachers and managers of Indonesian schools Kuala Lumpur and learning centers totaling 25 people. Dr. Tria Patrianti as the resource person explored discussions from the participants to formulate the right branding strategy to build the school’s image and reputation.

Tria, who is also the Head of the Master of Communication Studies Program at Muhammadiyah University Jakarta, explained that branding is not just about building a positive image. More than that, it also builds a consistent experience to the public. According to her, this must be supported by effective communication that is constantly carried out to maintain a harmonious relationship between the school and the surrounding community.

Sulton from Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL) also shared his experience about the branding elements that have been formed since the school’s inception in 1969.

“Since the beginning, we have always built national values, patriotism, and always collaborated with partners, but indeed the branding strategy has not been carried out in a sustainable manner,” said Sulton.

Chairman of APIK PTMA, Choirul Fajri emphasized that this kind of service activity is a real form of university responsibility in making a direct contribution to solving social problems in society, especially in the field of education. “Universities should not only produce academically qualified graduates but also be able to contribute significantly in helping the development of society,” explained Fajri.

Fajri also expressed his hope that schools managed by Indonesians abroad, especially in Kuala Lumpur, can grow and make a real contribution in strengthening relations between Indonesian communities. As well as introducing Indonesian culture and education more widely.

Muhajir, one of the participants as well as a school manager, expressed his high appreciation for the implementation of this activity. According to him, this event has important benefits in helping to develop school promotion strategies. “Although there are different characteristics between schools in Indonesia and in Malaysia, we gained new insights into effective branding strategies,” said Muhajir.

Muhajir also added that the various ideas and insights gained during this activity provided new enthusiasm to improve the quality of school branding. He hopes that similar activities can continue to be held regularly so that school managers can get updated information and insights on an ongoing basis.

In addition to the delivery of material by experts, this activity was also equipped with Focus Group Discussion (FGD) sessions aimed at designing practical and applicable branding strategies. In this FGD, participants were divided into several groups to discuss and design strategic ideas related to improving the image of the educational institutions they manage.

Before the activity took place, the group of international service participants visited the Secretariat of the Muhammadiyah Special Branch Management (PCIM) and Aisyiyah Special Branch Management (PCIA) in Kampung Bharu, Malaysia. The group was received by the Deputy Chair of PCIM Malaysia, Darsun Safwan and the Chair of PCIA Malaysia, Nuriyatun Nafiah.

UNISA Yogyakarta Officially Launches Professional Certification Institute, Increasing Graduate Emphasization

,

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, in order to improve the quality and competitiveness of its graduates, launched the Professional Certification Agency (LSP) UNISA Yogyakarta. The inauguration ceremony took place in Baroroh Baried hall on Saturday (03/05), attended by hundreds of students and representatives from various study programs, bureaus and units in UNISA Yogyakarta.

The establishment of LSP UNISA Yogyakarta is a follow-up to the success of UNISA Yogyakarta in obtaining an official license from the National Professional Certification Agency (BNSP) some time ago. This license is a proof of recognition of UNISA Yogyakarta’s competence as a trusted provider of professional certification in accordance with national standards.

Head of LSP UNISA Yogyakarta, Endang Koni Suryaningsih, S.ST., MSc., N-M., Ph.D, in her speech conveyed the vision and mission of the institution she leads.

“Our vision is to become a Professional Certification Institute that excels in producing graduates who are competent in the field of health, broad-minded, the first choice, and based on progressive Islamic values,” she said.

Furthermore, he explained that the mission of LSP UNISA Yogyakarta is to organize competency certification for UNISA Yogyakarta students in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.

Currently, LSP UNISA Yogyakarta has three certification schemes ready to serve students. “For the initial stage, we are serving the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Officer Scheme for students from the Midwifery, Biotechnology, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Technology (TLM), and Radiology study programs. We hope that other study programs at UNISA Yogyakarta can soon follow suit with relevant certification schemes,” Koni added.

Director of LSP Muhammadiyah, Dr. Filosa Gita Sukmono, S.I.Kom., M.A, was also present and gave a speech. He emphasized the importance of professional certification for students in facing competition in the job market, both at the regional, national, and international levels.

“The ownership of professional certification provides significant added value for students in the eyes of companies or clients. This certification is concrete evidence that their competence has been recognized by an independent third party,” said Filosa.

Vice Rector I of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Sulistyaningsih, S.KM., MH.Kes, expressed her high appreciation for the team’s hard work in realizing the LSP UNISA Yogyakarta.

“We really appreciate the long journey of establishing LSP UNISA Yogyakarta, starting from the initiation to finally getting a license from BNSP. We hope that LSP Muhammadiyah will continue to provide guidance and assistance so that other study programs at UNISA Yogyakarta can soon have a new certification scheme,” said Sulis.

The launch event was also filled with sharing sessions and question and answer sessions that were enthusiastically attended by around 180 students. This activity provided a deeper understanding of the benefits and process of professional certification offered by LSP UNISA Yogyakarta.

Prevent Sudden Cardiac Arrest! Muhammadiyah-‘Aisyiyah Train CPR for Gamping Residents

,

Heart disease is still the leading cause of death in the world. According to a World Health Organization (WHO) report, approximately 17.9 million people die each year from cardiovascular disease, representing 32 percent of all global deaths. Of this number, as many as 85 percent are caused by heart attacks and strokes.

In Indonesia, the prevalence of coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest shows an increasing trend, along with changes in lifestyle, unhealthy diet, and lack of physical activity.

Sudden cardiac arrest can happen anytime and anywhere, often without warning. Quick action within the first few minutes is critical to saving lives. Therefore, public understanding of Basic Life Support (BHD), especially Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), is crucial.

As a form of Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah’s real contribution in improving community preparedness for cardiac emergencies, a Community Service activity in the form of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) Training was carried out in Pasekan Lor Hamlet, Balecatur, Gamping on April 15, 2025.

This activity involved participants from Posyandu health cadres and the general public in Pasekan Lor, Balecatur, Gamping. The participants received theoretical and practical training related to the implementation of CPR as part of Basic Life Support.

The training materials were delivered by experienced resource persons, namely:

Dr. dr. Adi Pramono, M.Kes., Sp.An. lecturer from Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY)

Ns. Hamudi Prasestiyo, M.Kep., Sp.Kep.Onk. lecturer from University of ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta

PKU Muhammadiyah Gamping Hospital Health Team

“In this training, participants were given an understanding of the signs of cardiac arrest, the importance of recognizing emergencies early, and effective heart-lung resuscitation techniques. Practical sessions using pantomimes (training dolls) aimed to familiarize participants with performing CPR with the correct technique,” said Hamudi.

Evaluation results showed that there was a significant increase in participants’ knowledge of the basic principles of CPR. In addition, participants were able to practice CPR techniques well in accordance with standard procedures. The enthusiasm of the participants was very high, with many questions and active discussions during the session.

Through this training, it is hoped that health cadres and ordinary people can become first aiders who are alert and skilled in dealing with sudden cardiac arrest cases in their neighborhood. As more people are trained in CPR, the safety rate due to cardiac arrest in the community can increase.

This activity is clear evidence of the importance of collaboration between academics, health workers, and the community in building community resilience against cardiovascular emergencies as a tangible proof of the contribution of Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah in the community.

“Rotate Your Book” Greeted UNISA Yogyakarta Campus: A Fun Way to Increase Reading Interest

,

A neat collaboration was established between the Yogyakarta ‘Aisyiyah University Library (UNISA) and the Yogyakarta City Library by holding an innovative program entitled “Rotate Your Book”. The event, which was held for two days, from Monday (28/4/2025) to Tuesday (29/4/2025) at Siti Moendjijah Building, UNISA Yogyakarta Integrated Campus, was a breath of fresh air for efforts to improve literacy among the academic community.

“Rotate Your Book” itself is not an arbitrary program. This brilliant initiative from the Yogyakarta City Library and Archives Office (DPK) is a top-notch facility for the community, especially this time targeting the campus community. The concept is simple yet effective: providing a golden opportunity for personal book owners who may have outgrown their books or are looking for a new read, to exchange their collections for a variety of interesting books stored neatly in the Yogyakarta City Library’s book bank.

Nunun Zulaikha, S.IP., M.M., Head of Library Management and Culture of Reading Development at DPK Yogyakarta City, expressed her enthusiasm when interviewed on the sidelines of the event. She explained that the “Rotate Your Book” program has so far more often greeted students in junior high schools (SMP) and senior high schools (SMA) throughout Gudeg City. However, this time there is a special touch. Considering that Yogyakarta City Library has a treasure trove of books that are relevant to the world of health and lectures, plus a harmonious collaboration with UNISA Yogyakarta Library, this strategically located campus was chosen as the location for the two-day event.

“So, all UNISA Yogyakarta academicians, ranging from students, lecturers, to education staff, who have a personal book collection and may feel bored reading it, now have a golden opportunity. Through this ‘Rotate Your Book’ program, they can exchange those books with our collection of quality books,” said Zulaikha.

Zulaikha added that this program is expected to provide a wider variety of reading material for the UNISA Yogyakarta academic community.

In line with these expectations, the Head of UNISA Yogyakarta Library, Zeni Istiqomah, SIP, MA, welcomed this collaborative initiative. Zeni said that the presence of the “Rotate Your Book” program in the campus environment is expected to further ignite and increase interest in reading among the UNISA Yogyakarta academic community.

“We hope that with this interesting activity and facilitating access to various book collections, the insights and benefits gained by all members of the UNISA Yogyakarta community will increase,” said Zeni.
