Wednesday (26/1) Universitas Widyatama welcomed a visit from SMK Medikacom Bandung. Eleven accompanying teachers and 295 students from various departments were welcomed by the Marketing Bureau and the Widyatama Marketing Crew. The group was led by Mrs. Asti, a guidance counselor at SMK Medikacom Bandung.
The event began with a speech from the Head of the Marketing Bureau, Mrs. Devy Mawarnie Puspitasari, S.E., M.M., followed by a speech from Mr. Agus Muslim, Deputy Head of Student Affairs at SMK Medikacom Bandung. The event continued with a tryout in preparation for the National Examination, which will be held in April 2017. This was the second time SMK Medikacom students visited Widyatama University after their previous visit in 2013. After the mock exam, SMK Medikacom students attended a motivational seminar by motivator Pipin Sukandi, S.E., M.M. (Permanent Lecturer at the Faculty of Business Management, Universitas Widyatama).
The purpose of the SMK Medikacom group’s visit to Universitas Widyatama was to provide an understanding of higher education to vocational school graduates and their equivalents. This is because most high school graduates do not know whether they will immediately work, start a business, or continue their studies at a university after graduation. In addition to providing this understanding, the visit was also used as a means to provide more detailed information about Universitas Widyatama. At the end of the event, the group was invited to the main hall plaza for a group photo session to foster camaraderie and good relations between the two institutions.
