Universitas ‘Aisyiyah (UNISA) Yogyakarta once again reached out to high school students through the Dosen Goes to School program. The event was held at the Wijasena Sports Hall of SMA Negeri 1 Sedayu on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.

The “Dosen Goes to School” program itself is a form of collaboration between UNISA Yogyakarta and its partner schools. The special theme addressed at SMA Negeri 1 Sedayu, “Recognizing One’s Potential for Academic and Career Development,” is intended to help students understand their strengths and interests as a foundation for career development and academic choices at the next level.

On this occasion, midwife Intan Mutiara Putri, who is also an alumnus of Sedayu 1 Public High School, shared her inspiring experiences with the students. She said that her active participation in school during high school had helped her recognize her potential and interests, which are now important assets in her current job. “Being active in school allowed me to recognize my achievements and potential since high school, which has become a great support for my current job,” she said.

Meanwhile, Dr. Komarudin encouraged the students to begin recognizing their potential and exploring their unique qualities. He emphasized that understanding oneself is the first step in determining the right direction for future studies and careers.

The Principal of Sedayu State High School 1, Suwarsono, S.Pd., M.Sc., M.A., welcomed this initiative and noted that collaboration with universities like UNISA Yogyakarta offers significant benefits for students in planning their futures more effectively.
