FMIPA UNEJ again held the 99th Judicial Session of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember, Period 9 Academic Year 2023/2024 (25/4). 19 prospective graduates attended the open meeting of the FMIPA senate in the public lecture room of the FMIPA Biology Department. Led and opened directly by the Dean of FMIPA, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., the procession took place solemnly. In his judicial speech, the dean congratulated him and advised him to always remember the services of his parents. “Because of their services, now you are a graduate candidate, so make them happy; invite them to feel happy tomorrow when they graduate,” began the dean. It was also said that after graduation tomorrow, the graduates will enter the real-world community.
“That’s where persistence and toughness will be tested; if you still depend on your parents, then the education you have received so far has not been fully achieved,” he continued. So a transfer of skills is needed-a skill that can be transformed to face any challenge. Prof. Dafik said the key is not to complain easily and not to give up easily. “There is a lot that can be achieved; FMIPA alumni have flexibility because they have been equipped with basic sciences that can be adapted to various fields of work,” said the dean, who was accompanied by the Vice Deans at the senate meeting.

Participating in government programs in an effort to prevent stunting, the research team from the Department of Chemistry at FMIPA UNEJ developed organic fish hydrolyzate fertilizer. Using this fertilizer on rice plants can produce rice that has a high content of important minerals, namely zinc and iron. Rice with a high zinc content is needed to reduce stunting, and high iron content helps reduce anemia and maintain the body’s immune system. This was revealed during an educational event for the farming community in Karangrejo Village, Jember (21/4) that was organized by the FMIPA UNEJ Chemistry Student Association.
