Widyatama University held a Lecturer Forum with the agenda “Socialization of the Transfer of the International Trade Study Program from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) to the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB), Wednesday (05/17). The event opened with a speech by the Dean of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Dr. H. Nuryaman, S.E., M.Si., AK., C.A.
This lecturer forum was attended by the Chair of the Widyatama Foundation, Sri Juniati, S.E., MBA., the Chair of the Widyatama Foundation Management, Roeshartono, S.T., MCEM., MBA. along with his staff, the Rector of Widyatama University, Prof. Dr. Dadang Suganda M. Hum., Vice Rector for Higher Education Tri Dharma, Dr. R. Wedi Rusmawan Kusumah, S.E., M.Si., Ak., CA., and Dean of FISIP Widyatama University, Dr. Soni Akhmad Nulhaqim, S.Sos., M.Si., who also attended as speakers at this event.
The purpose of this agenda is, first, to strengthen relationships and promote awareness, and second, to celebrate the transfer of the International Trade Study Program from FISIP to FEB. Nuryaman said that the background for the transfer of the International Trade Study Program to FEB was because it should be in an economic and business environment. FEB has also been promoting this for some time.
The socialization program for students and parents of the International Trade Study Program for all batches was held last Monday (05/15). From the perspective of the Tri Dharma Perguruan Tinggi (Three Pillars of Higher Education), Prof. Dr. Dadang said that there are two sides to the core business of international trade, the first being economics and the second being international relations (IR).
Therefore, the economics-based curriculum and the IR curriculum must be integrated into the International Trade Program. Thus, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary bridges must create harmony between economic trade and internationalization at FEB within the International Trade Program.
With the existence of the International Trade Study Program at FEB, on the one hand, the curriculum must be linear with the economic context, but on the other hand, there must be international creativity, so that we can create multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and transdisciplinary programs. As a university, we must be able to create scientific novelty and innovation.
