Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., explained the evaluation of the achievement of the IKU of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, University of Jember, in the Biology Auditorium Room (27/8). “We have achieved several achievements, but there is still a lot of work that we must complete towards FMIPA UNGGUL,” he began. The data was presented to the academic community of FMIPA to be understood and observed as joint evaluation material in order to continue to build and advance FMIPA. The Dean of FMIPA also touched on the enthusiasm of students in FMIPA. “We look at the data, we study it, and we improve it in the future, including by establishing study programs that attract prospective students,” he continued, accompanied by the Vice Deans of FMIPA at UNEJ.

FMIPA also has an ambition to be UNGGUL in the ASEAN region, with 40% of FMIPA study programs accredited by ASIIN and recognized in ASEAN. So it is not impossible that in 2030 FMIPA will be UNGGUL in the Asia and World regions (World Class University). “So I invite us to work together to advance FMIPA, and study programs that excel in IKU achievements will be given special rewards to encourage study programs to follow suit,” he said. In the 2023/2024 academic year, the best study programs for IKU achievement performance are biology and physics. The Dean of FMIPA UNEJ who initiated the event will make the agenda routine every year, especially at the end of the academic year.

At the event, awards were also given to retired and transferred educators and education staff. Dr. Esti Utarti, S.P., M.Si., read out her gratitude for the best dedication and devotion to FMIPA UNEJ. “Ladies and gentlemen who have retired or transferred, I, the Vice Dean II representing the institution, express my gratitude and appreciation for all devotion, services, and high dedication to the progress of FMIPA UNEJ,” she said.
