Acara ini mengangkat tema “Problematika Kebangsaan di Era Milenial” dengan pembicara Prof. Dr. Mohammad Mahfud MD, S.H.,S.U. Mahfud merupakan anggota Dewan Pengarah Badan Pembinaan Ideologi Pancasila (BPIP) dan mantan Ketua Mahkamah Konstitusi (MK) periode 2008-2013.

Melalui kuliah umum dan orientasi ini, diharapkan dapat mendekatkan mahasiswa pascasarjana dengan sivitas akademika UAD lainnya. Selain itu untuk juga meningkatkan kerja sama dan kolaborasi.

Pada kesempatan tersebut, Direktur Pascasarjana UAD, Prof. Dr. Achmad Mursyidi, M.Sc.,Apt., mengapresiasi Asmapada yang telah menyelenggarakan acara rutin tahunan ini untuk menyambut mahasiswa baru.

Sementara dalam sambutannya Wakil Rektor IV UAD, Prof. Dr. Sarbiran, Ph.D. mengimbau mahasiswa untuk serius dalam menuntut ilmu dan belajar menghargai waktu. “Ikhtiar, disiplin, dan tepat waktu. Insyaallah Anda semua akan jadi orang sukses,” tandasnya.

Kuliah umum yang digelar di auditorium kampus 2 UAD, Jln. Pramuka 42, Yogyakarta, Sabtu (29/9/2018) ini dipandu Wakil Direktur Program Pascasarjana Dr. Dwi Sulisworo, M.T. Di hadapan mahasiswa Pascasarjana UAD, Mahfud memaparkan pemantapan ikatan kebangsaan berdasar pada ideologi Pancasila di era milenial.

“Indonesia sedang mengalami gejala konflik peradaban. Oleh karenanya, pemahaman kebangsaan dan Pancasila harus dikuatkan,” paparnya.

Menurutnya, Pancasila merupakan ideologi pemersatu yang tumbuh dari bawah, bukan dari atas. Pancasila menyatukan 17.504 pulau. Berbagai agama dan keyakinan, 1.360 suku bangsaserta 726 bahasa daerah.

“Indonesia memiliki budaya harmoni. Pancasila sebagai ideologi negara punya dua kedudukan. Sebagai dasar negara melahirkan hukum-hukum resmi, dan sebagai selain dasar negara, misalnya hal-hal yang tidak berbentuk hukum seperti cara pandang, pedoman etik, pemersatu, dan lainnya. Kebangsaan di Indonesia sudah diikat kuat oleh Pancasila. Oleh karenanya, apabila ada orang-orang yang intoleran secara otomatis akan dilawan oleh yang toleran.” (ard)

In this program, the qualification component can be compared to other qualifications by bringing together comparable credit for academic achievement and individual achievement.

The 23 students will be in Makassar for 40 days to study two-SKS education research subject. While in Makassar, students will also continue to attend lectures at UAD with online e-learning methods.

In addition, they will exchange organizational experience and academic experience while at UAD with students at Unismuh. So, there is reciprocity by giving each other knowledge.

Before departing, the 23 students receive training. They are lucky students because they have passed the selection stage to become credit transfer grant participants through Spada Indonesia for PGSD Study Program in 2018. The program is conducted in collaboration with the Directorate General of Learning and Student Affairs (Belmawa) and the Ministry of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Kemenristekdikti).

The students who participate in the program include Dadang Surya Prasetya, Nanda Nissa Fauziah, Sofia Rahmadaniah, Andrianto, Amar Faris, Ratri Aulia Safa Ardin, Vina Deni Putri, Fitria Alfinky, Yeyen Febrilia, Muhammad Ardi Saputra, Niswi Mukarromah, Olvi Mila Nastiti, Susilowati, Dewi Seruni, Erika Wulandari, Kartika Mustanazah, Nindi Elisie, Rifky Hanifah, Sri Octaviyani, Candra Tri Utami, Eka Susanti, Hana Selvi Dwi Cahyani, and Hilza Aprilia Hutami.

Dr. Muchlas, M.T., the Vice Rector I of UAD, appealed to credit transfer participants from UAD PGSD to maintain the good name of the alma mater and as well as their own name. This was conveyed when he gave a briefing at campus 5 of UAD on Friday (9/21/2018).

"This program will provide experience to students at the two universities. So, later we hope that there will be feedback for UAD. Those who join this program must be able to share their experiences with other students," Muchlas said. (ard)

Kepala Biro Kemahasiswaan dan Alumni (Bimawa) disaksikan pembina UKM Taekwondo, Dr. Hadi Suyono, M.Psi. dan Danang Sukantar M.Pd., Kepala Bidang Pengembangan Kemahasiswaan Bimawa UAD.

Dedi bangga ada mahasiswa baru yang berprestasi dalam dua kejuaraan tersebut dan ini patut diaprsiasi karena menjadi kebanggaan tersendiri bagi UAD. Mahasiswa baru tentu bukan hasil pembinaan UAD, tetapi ketika masih berada di sekolah menengah pertama atau atas.

“Sangat jarang prestasi diraih ketika sudah menjadi mahasiswa. Karena itu, UAD dianjurkan oleh Komite Olahraga Nasional Indonesia (KONI) agar merekrut mahasiswa yang sudah memiliki prestasi. Kalau membina mahasiswa, hasilnya baru dipetik saat semester tujuh atau waktu akan selesai kuliah,” jelasnya.

Sementara Pembina Taekwondo, Hadi Suyono mengatakan, UAD memberikan fasilitas bagi mahasiswa untuk meraih prestasi. Salah satunya, melalui UKM Taekwondo. Mengikuti UKM ini akan meningkatkan softskill mahasiswa. Sebab dalam Taekwondo, mahasiswa dilatih untuk berjuang keras dan berkompetisi. Target selanjutnya diharapkan bisa ikut kejuaraan internasional.

Di sisi lain, Fitriadi Nur Al Fikri mengungkapkan, persiapan untuk mengikuti dua kejuaraan tersebut dilakukan sejak Desember 2017 hingga Agustus 2018. Latihan yang dilakukan seminggu lima kali atau bahkan tujuh hari tanpa libur.

Prestasi yang diraih ini tentu bermanfaat bagi mahasiswa dan UAD. Bagi mahasiswa, prestasi itu akan menambah surat keterangan pendamping ijazah (SKPI). Bagi UAD, bisa meningkatkan peringkat perguruan tinggi dalam pemeringkatan yang dilakukan Kementerian Riset Teknologi Pendidikan Tinggi (Kemenristekdikti). Tahun 2017 UAD berada pada peringkat 232, tahun 2018 berada di peringkat 58. Sementara tahun 2019 target masuk 25 besar. (ard)

In Indonesia, acts of corruption are already entrenched. Many board members and politicians were caught while doing corrupt practices. In addition, the corruption methods used are also increasingly diverse.

As a form of concrete action to prevent corruption, the Professional Certification Institute (LSP) of Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) collaborates with LSP of the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of the Republic of Indonesia (RI) to hold a certification competency test for anti-corruption extension agents.

Muchlas added that every institution and agency, including UAD, has the responsibility to prevent corruption. Therefore, more guidance and understanding related to corruption is needed. For example, understanding about types of corruption, legal aspects of law, and preventive actions are needed.

On the other hand, Busyro Muqoddas, S.H., M.Hum., from board of directors of KPP RI LSP, said that the corruption methods found in Indonesia had developed with various models.
