(Unila): Rector of University of Lampung, Prof. Dr. Ir. Hasriadi Mat Akin, M.P., placed the first stone which marked the start of working construction of Unila Alumni Association (IKA) Secretariat Building on Jl. Sisingamangaraja, Gedong Air, Bandarlampung, on Saturday (01/26/2019).
Rector was accompanied by representatives of the Lampung Provincial Prosecutor, Lampung Regional Secretary, Vice Rector for General and Financial Affairs, The Deans of Unila, Chairmen of Unila IKA, and all Unila IKA Boards of the University of Lampung.
The construction design is projected for five-storey-building and targeted to be accomplished within a year. This groundbreaking celebration invited H.M. Prasetyo, The Attorney General of Republic of Indonesia as well as one of Unila distiguished alumni, but he was unable to attend.
Prof. Hasriadi conveyed, alumni are a reflection of a college. The progress of a higher education can be seen from the role of its alumni to the society. “University of Lampung alumni is recently reached at 103,151 people,” he said.
In this era of industrial revolution 4.0, he explained, “the role of the diploma has begun to diminish and shifted to someone’s competence to indicate his/her competence and skills quality. Thus, the role of the professional skills certificate in someone’s respective field is needed.”
This Professor of Faculty of Agriculture added that this secretariat is a paramount facility. It is merely not functioned for alumni gathering, but much more to be a sharing forum among students and alumni.
On various occasions, Hasriadi often urges students not to have the PNS-oriented-mindset since it offers a little chance. In this 4.0 industrial revolution era, digital, technology, and humanity literacy are a complete gears to conquer a worthed competition, “he concluded. [Humas]
