The Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, welcomed 847 new students in the Faculty Level Introduction to New Student Campus Life (PKKMB) activity. Activities are centered on the 1st floor of the Faperta Hall and several other locations within the Faperta area which are connected via zoom meeting (13/8).
The activity began with the submission of a report by Nur Mujahidin, S.P., M.Si as chairman of the 2024 PKKMB Faperta committee. He expressed his pride and welcomed the new students who officially became the part of big family of Faperta Unhas. Nur Mujahidin also explained the materials that would be explained in this activity.
Dean of the Faculty of Agriculture, Hasanuddin University, Prof. Dr. Ir. Salengke, M.Sc gave a speech and opened the event. In his speech, Prof. Salengke revealed that based on World University Ranking, The Unhas Faculty of Agriculture is ranked 301 to 350 in the world, which means it is in fourth position nationally. According to him, the new students are potential agricultural heroes and potential Indonesian food heroes.
“This is thanks to the long struggle of previous leaders, lecturers, alumni and students and we will continue this together,” he said.
However, there are still sad facts about world agriculture. More than 800 million people worldwide experience hunger every year with 44 countries experiencing serious hunger problems.
Prof. Salengke further explained that currently Indonesia is on the yellow line, which means it is quite worrying. If this continues, it is possible that Indonesian agriculture will get worse and be on the red line. Prof Salengke hopes that with the large number of new generations of students at the Faculty of Agriculture, these concerns can be transformed into stable and abundant agriculture.
“We hope that in 4 years, all students will be able to leave here with knowledge that you can dedicate to this country wherever you are in the future,” he explained.
