A total of 538 graduates from various health professions took the oath. The oath participants came from various professions, including midwives, radiographers, medical laboratory technologists, anesthesiologists, and nurses.

Profession Oath

Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences (FIKES) UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Dewi Rokhanawati, MPH, in her speech said that this event was the first milestone for the graduates to enter the world of health professions. “After today’s event, you will all face the challenge of implementing the knowledge and skills you have acquired. UNISA through the Career Development Center (CDC) has prepared the graduates to face the world of work through alumni briefing,” she said.

Dr. Dewi also emphasized the importance of adaptation to change and the ability of graduates to contribute to society, maintain the good name of the alma mater, and uphold integrity and noble character in carrying out the profession. “You must be able to innovate, compete globally, and always adhere to the values of professionalism,” she added.

Muhammadiyah

Muhammadiyah

In an effort to realize equal and inclusive education, the Muhammadiyah Central Leadership’s Civilization and Human Resources Assembly (MPKSDI), together with Suara Muhammadiyah and ‘Aisyiyah University (UNISA) Yogyakarta, held a book review “Measuring Educational Rights for Women with Disabilities: Religion, Gender, and Policy”. The event, which took place on October 4, 2024, highlighted the double discrimination experienced by women with disabilities in accessing education.

The book by Dr. Islamiyatur Rokhmah, S.Ag., M.S.I., who is a lecturer at UNISA Yogyakarta, thoroughly explores the complex challenges faced by women with disabilities. In addition to facing stigma and physical barriers, they are also often marginalized due to the intersection between gender, disability and poverty. This makes it difficult for them to gain access to proper education.

A Holistic Approach

Uniquely, this book not only highlights the problem from a social and policy perspective, but also integrates Islamic, gender and disability perspectives. Using an intersectionality approach, the book reveals how various forms of discrimination are interrelated and exacerbate the situation of women with disabilities.

“This intersectionality approach is very important to understand the complexity of the problems faced by women with disabilities,” said Dr. Bachtiar Dwi Kurniawan, Chairman of MPKSDI PP Muhammadiyah.

“By understanding the root of the problem, we can design more comprehensive solutions,” he added.

Real Action for Inclusive Education

The book review was not only an academic discussion, but also a momentum to encourage real action. The participants, consisting of academics, activists and policy makers, agreed that there needs to be a concerted effort to realize inclusive education. “We need to change our paradigm on disability,” said Dr. Apt. Salmah Orbayinah, Chairperson of the Central Leadership of ‘Aisyiyah. “Disability is not a shortcoming, but a diversity that we must accommodate in our education system.”

Hari Guru

In a special moment of the 21st Graduation Ceremony of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta, held at the Convention Hall of Walidah Dahlan Mosque, Chairperson of Aisyiyah Central Leadership, Dr. Apt. Salmah Orbayinah, M.Kes., also celebrated International Teachers’ Day, which falls on October 5, 2024. Not only did she deliver an inspiring speech, she also invited the audience to commemorate the services of teachers by singing the “Teacher’s Hymn” together.

Teacher’s Day

In her speech, Dr. Salmah Orbayinah expressed her deep appreciation to teachers who have made tremendous contributions in shaping the nation’s generation. “Today, in the midst of this graduation celebration, we also commemorate World Teachers’ Day, a tribute to those who devotedly educate us to reach this point. Teachers are instrumental in creating future leaders, including the graduates before us today.”

Salmah Orbayinah said that currently UNISA Yogyakarta is one of 172 PTMAs that have received superior accreditation. As a PTMA, it should have three functions, among others

(1) Educational function, which means that all Aisyiyah business charities in the field of education must be able to become a center of knowledge that is able to dissect modern technology to overcome the problems of the people and the nation

(2) Da’wah function, because Aisyiyah is a center for da’wah in accordance with the spirit of da’wah Muhammadiyah & Aisyiyah,

(3) the function of a cadre institution, namely to continue the relay of the nation’s leadership.

“This function is realized through the cooperation of the entire academic community,” he said. He also advised the graduates to develop their knowledge and potential, making a superior and qualified generation and capable of global competitiveness. As a young generation, of course, inheriting the spirit of da’wah of the Muhammadiyah Aisyiyah struggle, with the provision of knowledge that has been owned can take part in society, answering various challenges and problems of the nation. “Let’s realize Muslim scholars who are noble, confident, capable and qualified,” he said.

The graduation ceremony attended by 900 graduates became more solemn with the strains of the “Teacher’s Hymn,” which was sung by all attendees as a form of respect for educators. Dr. Salmah Orbayinah hoped that the spirit of service of the teachers will continue to inspire the younger generation to continue learning, innovating, and contributing to the nation and state. This procession also affirmed the commitment of UNISA Yogyakarta and the Central Leadership of Aisyiyah in supporting quality education, producing outstanding graduates, and appreciating the great role of teachers around the world.

Umkm

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.
