UNIPMA New Students Provide National Insight 

New students (Maba) at Universitas PGRI Madiun (UNIPMA) are invited to always maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia (NKRI). The invitation was delivered by Prof. Dr. Rafik Karsidi, M.S, Special Staff of the Coordinating Minister for Human Development and Culture of the Republic of Indonesia, when giving material on Building Human Resources with global competitiveness and national insight in the global era to thousands of UNIPMA freshmen.

"By being given this wasbang, new students who are the nation's successors can strengthen the nation's character, maintain the integrity of the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia," he said after giving material at the Graha Cendekia UNIPMA Building, Thursday (8/9/2022).

On the other hand, Moh. Waskito Ardhi, M.Pd., Head of the Committee for the Introduction to Campus Life for New Students (PKKMB), said that the activity of providing material on Building human resources with global competitiveness and national perspective in the global era was one of the series of PKKMB activities.

"One of the PKKMB materials for 2022 is in accordance with the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education Regulation, namely providing national insight and defending the country for new UNIPMA students," he said.

His party also explained that before giving the material on national insight, new students also received material about the faculty, study programs, and material for HMF and HMPS.

He also added, "Through this new student's national insight material, it is hoped that they will know that UNIPMA as a university with a national perspective does not discriminate between ethnic groups, races, groups, religions and cultures.

This needs to be understood, because UNIPMA students consist of various ethnic groups in Indonesia, so there is a need for unity, so as not to be scattered between them, so that they will feel comfortable in studying at UNIPMA in a cool academic atmosphere.

UNIPMA freshmen were also provided with material about the dangers of radicalism and terrorism by Dr. Soubar Isman from BNPT East Java, with the hope that UNIPMA freshmen can find out about the rise of radicals in society today and can prevent these dangers.
