Greetings from All Across the Country: Greetings for The Freshmen
Serumpun on September 20, 2020 has ended. The new students of the UII Communication Science Department gathered and were welcomed by the Head of the UII Department of Communication Science and the UII Communication staff. When gathering like this, new students from the Department of Communication Science can get to know each other. The hope is that they will become close with their friends, lecturers and staff. Joy is reflected in the faces of new students who are very interested in Communication Science. They feel proud to have entered the UII Department of Communication.
This picture was seen in the online meeting of the orientation period of the FPSB UII Serumpun at the department introduction session. In this session, new students were introduced to several communities in the Communication Science department by the Secretary General of Himakom UII (Communication Science Student Association), M. Diast. He explained several internal communities in this department and what they will get by participating in the activities in it.
After the Secretary General from Himakom gave his explanation and opinion about the various internal organizations, then the staff representative turned to speak. Staff from Communication Science gave an opinion to explain what facilities were obtained after new students entered the Communication Science department. The facilities provided by the UII Department of Communication Science include the Nadim PSDMA (Center for Alternative Media Studies and Documentation), which has a collection of research from alumni, lecturers and students as well as a collection of various alternative research. There is also a laboratory that can be used when students need media production tools or supporting equipment for later practicum lectures.
The Head of UII Department of Communication Science, Puji Hariyanti, also gave a speech to the new students. Puji said that from now on students must be enthusiastic about going through online courses in the future. “Congratulations to new students and always enthusiastic in carrying out lectures later,” she said. She also introduced the three finger greeting typical of the Communication Department in Indonesia. All students and participants of the Zoom meeting were busy taking pictures together showing the three-finger greeting symbol of the communication greeting.
After a warm welcome by the Head of Communication Science, then she gave the students the opportunity to get acquainted. During the introductory period, it turned out that communication science students came from various regions. There are those from Aceh, some from Papua, Temanggung, and of course also Yogyakarta. This makes Puji Hariyanti feel amazed that the enthusiasm for following the orientation period and the introduction of communication science is still being followed despite the difficulty of signals and connections from long distances. In fact, this shows that the enthusiasm of new students is very high and quite interactive.
