Rector: Nearly 10 Per cent of New IPB University Students are OSIS Chairs
The Rector of IPB University, Prof Arif Satria said that almost 10 percent of IPB University students came from the OSIS chairman. He stated this in the IPB OSIS Fest 2023 Inspiring Webinar (23/7).
"They (the student council chairmen) are the superior seeds of successful student candidates. This is also proven by the data that approximately 10 per cent of IPB University students are OSIS chairmen," said the rector in front of the hundreds of OSIS chairmen who were present.
According to him, IPB University could be the best choice to become fertile soil for these superior seeds so that the student council presidents can grow and develop into great and successful individuals in the future.
On this occasion, Prof Arif delivered material entitled 'Digital Leadership in the Era of Disruption'. The material raises essential issues related to the digital era, which is full of uncertainties and unavoidable global challenges.
"Leaders in the digital era must have adaptive abilities in dealing with rapid changes and have skills that are relevant to the demands of the digital era," he explained.
In his material, Prof Arif emphasized several important skills that a leader in the digital era must possess. First is cognitive skill, which includes the ability to communicate well. Next, business skills, which include effective business operations and management. In addition, interpersonal skills, which involve the ability to negotiate well. And what is no less important is a strategic skill, namely the power of a leader who has a vision for the future and is able to take strategic steps.
IPB University alumni who were also speakers at this webinar, namely Dihqon Nadaamist, as Founder and CEO of PT Cita Indonesia Clean and Aang Permana, as Founder of PT Ikanovasi Daya Local. The two sources told inspiring stories of their struggles when they were students at IPB University to achieve the success they are today.
In their material, the two alumni admitted that the first time they were accepted at IPB University, they were just ordinary students. However, thanks to the campus environment that supports them in development, both of them have succeeded in becoming great students who excel and are active in organizations so that they are able to become successful entrepreneurs.
It is hoped that the stories of Dihqon Nadaamist and Aang Permana's experiences will motivate all OSIS Chairpersons who are present at this webinar to always be enthusiastic and optimistic in pursuing their dreams of becoming outstanding students at IPB University.
The IPB OSIS Fest 2023 Inspiring Webinar is an important momentum in inspiring and encouraging prospective students to achieve their goals. With a variety of knowledge, skills and support provided by IPB University, prospective students are expected to grow and develop into future leaders who are competent and able to compete in the digital era.
