Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta held its 21st Graduation Ceremony for Master, Bachelor, Applied Bachelor, and Diploma Programs for the 2023/2024 Academic Year at the Convention Hall of Walidah Dahlan Mosque, Saturday (5/10). A total of 930 graduates attended the solemn and meaningful procession, with a theme that is very relevant among students, namely “Mental Health.”

Graduates

Not just a graduation ceremony, this graduation brings an important message that is different from previous years. Through the theme “Mental Health,” UNISA Yogyakarta wants to emphasize the importance of mental health awareness among students. Rampant phenomena, such as bullying, depression, and suicide, became the focus of attention in the campaign that was inserted in the middle of the graduation procession.

In a series of events, UNISA Yogyakarta invited the graduates to care and strengthen each other. One of the special moments in this campaign was when all graduates simultaneously wrote positive and motivational words on their cell phone screens, which were then displayed to support each other. This step symbolizes UNISA’s commitment to creating a safe campus environment that supports mental well-being.

Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat., during the campaign, delivered an evocative message, “All of us here, not only celebrate our academic achievements, but also celebrate our strengths as individuals who care for one another. Mental health is not something that can be ignored. Through this campaign, we want to remind you that each of us has a role to play in creating a better, more supportive and caring environment. Let’s encourage each other, speak kindly, and always remember that each of us is valuable and strong.”

The graduation ceremony with the theme “Mental Health” received appreciation from the graduates and invited guests, while emphasizing UNISA Yogyakarta’s role as a campus that not only focuses on academic achievement, but also on the mental well-being of its students.

Estu SAE, a producer of health drinks made from local ingredients, is now more successful. Thanks to collaboration with the community service team from Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta, this MSME has managed to improve production quality and expand market reach, Saturday (21/09).

The community service program that focuses on improving production quality and digital marketing has had a significant impact on Estu SAE MSMEs. Through intensive assistance from experts in the fields of biotechnology and information technology, UNISA empowered this MSME to make an amazing transformation.

Empowering MSMEs

One of the main focuses of this program is to improve the quality of Estu SAE’s health drink production. The service team provided training on modern production techniques, selection of quality raw materials, and more attractive and hygienic product packaging.

“By applying the knowledge we gained from the training, our products now have better quality and a more professional appearance,” said Nurrohmah Dwi Mahesti, owner of Estu SAE MSMEs

Go Digital, Go Global

In addition to improving product quality, this program also empowers Estu SAE MSMEs to utilize digital technology in marketing. Intensive digital marketing training has equipped these MSMEs with knowledge on how to optimize social media, such as Instagram and Facebook, as well as e-commerce platforms, such as Tokopedia and Shopee.

“We used to rely solely on offline sales. Now, we can reach a wider audience through digital platforms,” Nurrohmah added.

Positive Impact for Local MSMEs

This collaboration between academics and MSME players proves that strong synergy can produce positive changes. Estu SAE MSMEs are now not only able to compete in the local market, but also have the potential to penetrate national and even international markets.

“We hope that the success of Estu SAE MSMEs can inspire other MSMEs to continue to innovate and utilize digital technology,” said Nosa Septiana Anindita, head of the program team.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta held a gathering event between the Daily Board of Trustees (BPH) and the leadership of UNISA Yogyakarta, Monday (30/9) which was attended by the BPH leadership and all university structural leaders. This event is an important moment to strengthen synergy in an effort to advance and develop UNISA in a better direction.

UNGGUL

In his speech, the Secretary of BPH, Adam Jerussalem, S.T., S.H., M.T., Ph.D said that in 2024 UNISA Yogyakarta received an extraordinary gift by successfully achieving Superior University Accreditation (APT). This achievement opens opportunities for UNISA to open the Faculty of Medicine (FK) and inaugurate the Medical Laboratory Management and Technology (TLM) study program which also received superior accreditation.

“This success must be responded to by increasing work ethic, strengthening institutions, and togetherness in achieving the vision ahead. Snowball management is key in facing this growth,” said Adam Jerussalem. He emphasized that UNISA must continue to show the best performance, so that it can become a barometer not only in Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah Universities (PTMA), but also in other universities in Indonesia.

In addition, Warsiti also said that UNISA continues to encourage internationalization by increasing the percentage of overseas students, as well as strengthening practitioner lecturers and doctoral lecturer qualifications which are currently still less than 40% of the total number of lecturers. Challenges in the field of research, lecturer publications in international journals, and empowerment of graduates at the global level are also a major concern.

UNISA continues to add excellent study programs, including plans to open professional programs in Nutrition, Architecture, as well as Master of Physiotherapy, Master of Nursing, and Doctor of Midwifery programs.

Meanwhile, Chairperson of BPH UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Noordjannah Djohantini, M.M., M.Si in her direction emphasized that the superior title achieved by UNISA must be maintained with hard work and higher enthusiasm. “We must take care of this excellent title together. UNISA must become a symbol of the international Muslim women’s movement through Aisyiyah,” she said. Noordjannah also reminded the importance of strengthening the institutional system and internal evaluation so that UNISA can continue to grow and develop according to the needs of the times.

With the spirit of togetherness and dedication, all leaders and academicians of UNISA Yogyakarta are expected to realize the big vision of becoming a center of excellence and driving force in creating positive changes at the national and international levels.
