Wednesday (26/1) Widyatama University (UTama) received a visit from SMK Negeri 1 Bandung. The group arrived at around 9:00 a.m. at the Widyatama parking lot and was welcomed by the Marketing Bureau and Marketing Crew. The group leader, Mr. Ronny, Deputy Head of Public Relations at SMKN 1 Bandung, and teachers representing the school, SMK Negeri 1 Bandung, brought around 350 students from several vocational departments.

The event began with a speech from the Head of the Marketing Bureau, Mrs. Devy M. Puspitasari, S.E., M.M., followed by a speech from Mr. Ronny as Deputy Head of Public Relations at SMKN 1 Bandung. The event then continued with a trial national exam (TRY OUT UN) held in several buildings at Widyatama University. This has many benefits for the school, especially the students, as it provides hard skills training for SMK Negeri 1 Bandung students to prepare them for the UN.

The purpose of the group’s visit to UTama was to provide an understanding of higher education to vocational school graduates and their equivalents. This is because vocational school graduates do not yet know which university they will attend after graduating from vocational school and what major they will choose when they go to college. In addition to providing this understanding, the visit was used as a means to provide more detailed information about Widyatama University. At the end of the event, the Head of the Bureau presented merchandise and souvenirs to the group and held a photo session to foster familiarity and good relations between the two institutions.
