Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., Dean of FMIPA UNEJ, officially concluded the 2026 Faculty-level Pembinaan dan Pengembangan Mahasiswa Baru (PPMB) program on September 13. The event culminated in an inauguration night featuring an arts performance by the new students. The 2026 PPMB program covered topics such as PKM, ONMIPA, PPK ORMAWA, PKM mentoring, and a UKM expo. “With the material provided, students are expected to keep learning without giving up in order to achieve success,” the Dean stated. In the current era, students must become autonomous learners taking initiative and responsibility for their studies rather than relying solely on instructors or lecturers.
The Dean of the FMIPA UNEJ stated that new students are expected to learn not only about their specific scientific disciplines but also about a wide range of subjects, aiming to become multitalented individuals. “To truly shine, you must master various areas; that radiance will emanate from the knowledge you possess within yourself,” he remarked. Prof. Dafik also highlighted “ARUNIKA” signifying the first rays of light after sunrise as well as the 2026 PPMB theme: Melangkah Bersama, Menembus Cakrawala. “With the spirit of ARUNIKA, new students must put these values into practice and pursue their studies at FMIPA with enthusiasm, so that they may attain a future filled with the light of new hope,” he concluded.
