The event was attended by representatives of the Undiknas Student Representative Council (DPM) as well as the Undiknas Student Activity Support (SATU) Team, both of whom are actively involved in student initiatives and sustainability-based social programs. The students’ participation in this forum forms an important part of contextual learning, fostering greater environmental awareness and social responsibility.

Undiknas’ involvement in this activity aligns with the spirit of the Impactful Campus Program initiated by the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Kemdiktisaintek), which encourages universities not only to excel academically but also to contribute tangible solutions to societal challenges. Through active student engagement and collaboration with government institutions, Undiknas continues to strengthen its position as an adaptive, relevant, and impactful university.
