Dressed in kebaya, all members of the Dharma Wanita Persatuan of the Mathematics and Natural Sciences Faculty of Jember University celebrated Mother’s Day at their regular meeting (15/12). “I would like to express my gratitude for the presence of the ladies who were beautiful and elegant in kebaya at the routine meeting of DWP FMIPA members,” said Nur Sa’dijah Achmad Sjaifullah, Chair of the DWP FMIPA UNEJ Sub Unit. It was also conveyed that this regular meeting of members was the last time the management was chaired by Nur Sa’dijah Achmad Sjaifullah. There were members present, consisting of lecturers, education staff, wives of the FMIPA UNEJ academic community, and also retired employees.

The regular meeting held in the Physics Department Auditorium also presented two speakers who were also members of the DWP FMIPA UNEJ. The first is Dr. Ika Hesti Agustin, S.Si., M.Si., a mathematics lecturer who gives make-up tutorials, and Dra. Priwahyu Hartanti, M.Pd., conveys information about mammography. No less interesting at this regular meeting will be the members with the best kebaya chosen by the jury and the most favorite chosen by the meeting participants. “Like previous meetings, we will provide compassion in accordance with the DWP FMIPA UNEJ program,” concluded Nur Sa’dijah Achmad Saifullah.

Dr. Ika Hesti, in the make-up tutorial, said that there are several make-up models depending on needs. “Make-up depends on what you need it for—everyday, formal events, or parties. Of course it’s different, and we will practice it,” said the 3rd place winner in make-up, Catur Wulan, DWP UNEJ, some time ago. Modeled after her colleague in mathematics, Firda Fadri, M.Si, Ika practices make-up according to her needs.

The next presentation was by Dra. Priwahyu Hartanti, M.P.D., also known as Mrs. Hasan, about mammography, hoping that DWP FMIPA UNEJ members would not be afraid because early breast cancer screening is very important. “Mammography is a scanning procedure to see images of the breast glands and the surrounding tissue, so I hope mothers will take part so they know from the start,” explained the Chair of the Jember District Gabungan Organisasi Wanita (GOW). And mammography is one of Jember’s GOWs, which is also the parent of DWP around Jember.

The selection of members dressed in the best kebaya begins with a fashion show-style appearance. Judging resulted in first place being won by Mrs. Agus Suprianto, second place being Mrs. Efie Fadjrijah Eka Dewi, and third place being Mrs. Dwi Setyati. Meanwhile, the favorite winner as a result of the poll was Mrs. Ika Hesti Agustin. At this meeting, compassion was shown to two security personnel and two cleaning service personnel in the FMIPA-UNEJ environment.
