Politap Supports Alumni Developing Villages Initiative

The Director of Politap and the Vice Director for Academic Affairs received the Alumni Bangun Desa team led by Roni Bia Santo on Thursday (7 January 2021). The Politap alumni team reported the outcomes of their visit to the Karimata Islands, an area rich in potential situated on the border of the Java Sea and Karimata Strait.

The Director welcomed the initiative taken by the alumni team to care for education, especially in outermost village regions. Endang stated that the alumni's dedication aligns with the Politap Membangun Vokasi Dari Desa program, which provides opportunities for high-achieving village residents to receive an education at Politap and subsequently develop their home villages.

Vice Director for Academic Affairs Adha Panca Wardanu commended the alumni who pursued their passion for supporting communities, especially in outermost regions, remarking that this is one of the impacts of Kampus Merdeka. Danu expressed hope that more alumni would step forward to collaborate and synergize with Politap.

Meanwhile, Roni Bia Santo, who also served as President of the Politap Student Executive Board (BEM) for the 2019/2020 period, stated that he was increasingly eager to participate in developing the Karimata region, as his team is also involved in the Politap Membangun Vokasi Dari Desa program. Moving forward, Roni will promptly prepare the technical stages to conduct outreach sessions for the youth of Karimata to pursue higher education at Politap through scholarship schemes.
