3.471 Participants of MPKMB 61 Crowd IPB Future Museum and Gallery
Campus Introduction Period for New Students (MPKMB) IPB University batch 61 has ended. The IPB Future Museum and Gallery under the auspices of the Institute Information Management and Digital Transformation Center (LMITD) unit also enlivened the MPKMB event in 2024.
One of the activities carried out was to create a visit programme for new undergraduate students of batch 61. The purpose of this programme is to equip new students about the history of agricultural higher education institutions in Indonesia, its development, and its vision for the future. This activity took place for two weeks from 29 July to 15 August 2024.
This visit is one part of the MPKMB assignment. The new students of batch 61 ‘Narapati Bimantara’ were tasked with knowing the past, present, and future of IPB University. The answers about these three times can be found by visiting the IPB Future Museum and Gallery.
During the visit, new students can access all digital collections in 11 rooms in the museum. In addition, IPB Future Museum and Gallery also presents various interesting services such as 360 videobooth, Virtual Campus Tour (VCT), and Virtual Reality (VR). These services were present to create an exciting experience for the MPKMB participants when visiting the IPB Future Museum and Gallery.
The MPKMB participants responded positively to the new breakthroughs made by the IPB Future Museum and Gallery. One of the MPKMB participants named Puspita Sukma was quite amazed by the VR service and aesthetic panels that can be used as Instagramable photo spots.
In one week of the programme, 3.471 new students have visited the museum. This number is getting closer to the total target of 5.500 people and will continue to grow considering there is still one week left for the implementation of this activity.
“The purpose of this programme is to equip new students about the history of agricultural higher education institutions in Indonesia, their development, and their vision for the future,” said Dr Syafitri Hidayati, Deputy Chief of ICT.
Dr Syafitri Hidayati also hoped that through this programme the new students would have pride in their alma mater and be excited during their higher education at IPB University. On the other hand, this programme can also be a reflection for the new students of IPB University batch 61 that all ideals cannot be obtained through instant means and must be fought for seriously, as the predecessors fought for the establishment of IPB University as a renowned university in Indonesia.
