The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST) of Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta showed its concern for the environment by holding a Sport and Art Everyweek (SAE) activity entitled “FST Down to Earth”. This activity involved students and educators of UNISA Yogyakarta in a real action to clean up trash in the river around the campus, Saturday (11/23).
Not only cleaning the river, this activity was also combined with technological innovation. The team from the Information Technology Study Program successfully developed a TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) sensor that measures water quality. This sophisticated sensor is then installed in the river to monitor water quality periodically.

“This TDS sensor is the work of our Information Technology laboratory. Hopefully, with this sensor we can monitor water quality in real time and take further action if there are significant changes,” said Dean of FST UNISA Yogyakarta, Tika Ainnunisa Fitria, S.T., M.T., Ph.D.

In addition, to complete the environmental conservation efforts, the activity continued with the sowing of tilapia fish seeds. This step aims to balance the river ecosystem and maintain the sustainability of fish resources.

“This FST Down to Earth activity is an excellent collaboration between the three study programs in FST, namely Architecture, Biotechnology, and Information Technology. Through this activity, we want to show that science is not only theoretically useful, but can also provide real solutions to environmental problems,” added Tika.

The SAE FST Down to Earth activity is expected to be a real example for other campuses in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, especially in the field of community service. In addition, this activity is also a living laboratory for students to apply the knowledge they have learned directly.

The inauguration, which took place in the Siti Moendjijah Building Conference Room, marked the beginning of a new chapter in the Student General Election (PEMIRA) which is more honest, transparent, and has integrity.

The solemn inauguration event also invited competent speakers, namely Bdn. Yekti Satriyandari, S.ST., M.Kes as the Head of the Bureau of Student Affairs and Alumni of UNISA Yogyakarta and Fajrus Shodiq, S.IP., M.KP. as a teacher of Public Administration at UNISA Yogyakarta and also MPM PP Muhammadiyah. Both gave briefings to KPUM and Bawaslu in a public stadium entitled “Creating Future Leaders: Political Education and Student Participation in Campus Democracy”.

Student President of UNISA Yogyakarta, Esa Jongko Budi Angkoso, in his celebration expressed great hope that this inauguration would be the first momentum in producing a new generation of qualified leaders.

“Let us make the momentum of this inauguration as the first step in welcoming the era of democracy and producing new leaders,” said Esa.

Head of the Bureau of Student Affairs and Alumni (BKA) UNISA Yogyakarta, Ms. Bdn. Yekti Satriyandari, S.ST., M.Kes gave appreciation and encouragement to all parties involved in the inauguration process and PEMIRA preparation.

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta through Aisyiyah Center and Center for Women, Family and Disaster Studies (PSPKB) once again hosted an international scientific discussion by holding a Focused Group Discussion (FGD) themed ‘Environmental Ethics in Realizing Global Health: Challenges and Solutions’ in the meeting room of Siti Moendjiyah Building, Tuesday (11/19/2024). Environmental ethics are considered to be an important part of life.
UNISA Yogyakarta’s Vice Rector II for General Affairs and Human Resources, Dr. Yuli Isnaeni, M.Kep., Sp.Kom, who in her speech conveyed the importance of implementing environmental ethics starting from simple things, such as waste management. “Environmental ethics is the foundation for creating sustainable global health. With a value-based approach, we can face future challenges and find the best solutions,” said Yuli.

Prof. Dr. h.c. mult. Christoph Stuckelberger, an ethics expert from the Faculty of Theology who specializes in economic ethics, environmental ethics, political ethics, and development ethics, explained that environmental ethics does not only talk about humans, but also includes human relationships with non-humans, such as plants, animals, air, and water. “Ethics is basically about what is right and wrong, good and bad, and the standardization of a good life. Its branches include bioethics, community ethics, and environmental ethics,” he said.
Stuckelberger also emphasized the importance of clean water and clean air as two main elements in global health. According to him, water has a sacred value in various religions, including Islam, which views water as the main source of health and sustainability.
One solution offered is to integrate technology with religious values in environmental management. For example, using modern technology to clean water while working with various institutions and universities. “Although the world faces great challenges, we must keep trying. Even if the world is going to end, plant a tree. This value is lifted from the teachings of Islam, which instills hope and action,” he added, quoting the Prophet Muhammad’s hadith:

“Even if the Day of Judgment is coming, and one of you still has a date palm seedling in his hand, let him plant it.” (HR Imam Ahmad).

UNISA Yogyakarta is expected to continue contributing to spreading the understanding and practice of environmental ethics, both locally and globally. Collaboration with organizations such as Globethics.net, which has been active for more than 20 years in promoting ethics across fields, is a strategic opportunity to create positive change. This FGD is a concrete step by UNISA Yogyakarta in strengthening its role as an Islamic campus that cares about global issues, especially health and the environment.

Media Gathering 2

Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta strengthened its synergy with the mass media in an event entitled “Media Gathering and Awarding Journalists 2024”, held in the courtroom of Siti Moendjijah building, Wednesday (20/11/2024).

Media Gathering

Rector of UNISA Yogyakarta, Dr. Warsiti, S.Kp., M.Kep., Sp.Mat, said that this activity is a strategic step for UNISA Yogyakarta to bridge the academic world and the wider community.
“We want the results of research and various academic activities at UNISA to benefit the community. The media has a very important role in disseminating this information,” said Warsiti.

Warsiti hopes that through close collaboration with the media, public literacy can be improved. “Universities have the responsibility to educate the public. One way is through the media. Thus, people can obtain accurate and relevant information,” she added.
In this event, UNISA Yogyakarta also gave awards to journalists who have contributed in raising educational and social issues. The journalism competition held earlier became an event to appreciate the best works of journalists.

In addition to the awarding, the media gathering was also filled with a warm discussion session between the leadership of UNISA Yogyakarta and the journalists. This discussion became the right moment to exchange ideas and strengthen good relations between the two parties.
