On Wednesday (January 29), Widyatama University (UTama) welcomed a visit from SMK Muhammadiyah Sukabumi. The group arrived at around 9:00 a.m. at the Widyatama parking lot and was welcomed by the Marketing Bureau Public Relations team. The group was led by Mrs. Haryani Lestari Wibowo, S.Psi, Coordinator of Guidance Counselors and Chair of Visitation & TRY OUT SMK Muhammadiah Sukabumi, who brought around 10 guidance counselors and 170 students.
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 the Guidance Counselor of SMK Muhammadiah Sukabumi, Mrs. Haryani Lestari Wibowo, S.Psi. The next event was a UN TRY OUT simulation conducted by the Marketing Bureau team to provide training for SMK Muhammadiah Sukabumi so that they would be ready to take the UN.
The purpose of the group’s visit to UTama was to provide SMK graduates with an understanding of higher education. This is because graduates of SMK do not yet know whether they will continue to higher education, work, or work while studying after graduating from SMK. As SMK Muhammadiah Sukabumi is a vocational school, UTama provided insight into higher education and the study programs available at UTama.
The UTama Public Relations Department provided information about New Student Admissions to vocational school students so that they could choose a study program when continuing their studies in college. In addition, they also provided insight that vocational students are free to choose the study program that interests them. Apart from providing this information, the visit was also used as a means to provide more detailed information about Widyatama University.
At the end of the event, the Head of the Bureau gave merchandise and souvenirs to the group and held a photo session together in the UTama Main Hall to foster familiarity and good relations between the two institutions.
