JATINANGOR, itb.ac.id – Kopi Sore, a regular event organized by the Directorate of Student Affairs of ITB, was once again held on Friday, December 13, 2024, at the corridor of General Lecture Hall 1, ITB Jatinangor Campus. This forum serves as a space for students to directly communicate with the campus executives regarding various aspects of campus life. On this occasion, the theme was “The Concept of Student Curriculum Design and Student Facilities (Fasmawa)”.
Subdirectorate Head of Human Resources of ITB Jatinangor Campus, Anton Wiguna, S.T., M.T., stated that Kopi Sore plays a vital role in strengthening the relationship between students and the campus party.
“This event gives us the opportunity to listen directly to the issues students face and work together with them to find solutions. We strongly support activities that encourage communication such as this,” he stated.
This was well received by the students. Vice Chair of the Kabinet Keluarga Mahasiswa (K3M), Lathifah Choiriyah, considers the event highly beneficial for both students and the campus.
“Events such as this are very helpful for us because we can directly convey our aspirations to the campus party, allowing the Directorate of Student Affairs to listen and provide solutions,” she said.
This session of Kopi Sore was attended by the Director of the Directorate of Student Affairs, D. Arch. Gregorius Prasetyo Adhitama, S.Sn., M.Sn. Also present were the Subdirectorate Head of Human Resources of ITB Jatinangor campus, Anton Wiguna, S.T., M.T., and the Subdirectorate Head for Student Organizations and Student Achievement Development, Dr. Epin Saepudin, M.pd.
The event began with a presentation on the concept of student facility design, one of which involved the development of “collaboration places” based on activities. This concept aims to maximize the utilization of campus spaces without any territorial claims by specific parties. As a result, all students have equal rights to access these facilities.
Meanwhile, Dr. Epin Saepudin explained the concept of the student curriculum, which is divided into four areas: Organizational activities, community services (pengmas), entrepreneurship activities, and competitions.
"“A campus is a place for character development, and so pengmas can serve as a platform for students to become problem solvers by focusing on the SDGs, assisting natural disaster victims, and engaging in other social activities,” he stated.
He highlighted the Student Activity Credit Unit (SKKM) as a measure of students’ achievements beyond academics. “It is hoped that students can reach a minimum of 12 SKKM within four years, comprising of various activities such as pengmas, competitions, and others,” he said.
After that, the event continued with discussions regarding other campus facilities. This event is expected to serve as an effective platform to bridge communication between students and campus executives.
