As the first step toward welcoming and preparing its newest students, Universitas Dian Nusantara (UNDIRA) is set to once again hold its New Student Campus Life Orientation Program (Pengenalan Kehidupan Kampus bagi Mahasiswa Baru/PKKMB), or “Hello Campus 2026.” The event will take place from September 8 to 10, 2026, at the Universitas Dian Nusantara Tanjung Duren Campus, with more than 600 new students expected to take part.

This year, Hello Campus 2026 carries the theme “Welcome to Nusantara Universe: Shape Your Digital Mindset, Light Your Global Impact!” Through this program, new students are expected to be better prepared for the transition into university life, a new chapter that calls for greater independence, maturity, and adaptability. The theme is designed to help students adjust more quickly to their new academic environment while cultivating a digital mindset that is relevant to the challenges of an increasingly interconnected world.

The implementation of Hello Campus 2026 follows the official PKKMB guidelines issued by the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs (Belmawa), under Indonesia’s Directorate General of Higher Education, Science, and Technology (Diktisaintek). The program will cover a range of topics, including National and Civic Life, National Identity and the Development of National Defense Awareness, Indonesia’s Higher Education System, Higher Education in the Digital Era, Student Character Development, and UNDIRA’s Local Institutional Values and Context.

The event will also feature a diverse lineup of competent speakers who will help broaden the perspectives and insights of the UNDIRA community. Among them are Prof. Dr. Ir. Illa Sailah, M.S., Head of LLDIKTI Region III for the 2015–2018 period; Mr. Tri Munanto, Head of the General Affairs Division of LLDIKTI Region III; Ms. Maharani Octy Ningsih, M.Psi., a psychologist; the PPKPT Task Force of Universitas Dian Nusantara; representatives from the National Cyber and Crypto Agency (BSSN); personnel from the Indonesian Army’s Kodam III/Siliwangi; as well as members of UNDIRA’s faculty and structural leadership.

According to the Chair of the Hello Campus 2026 Organizing Committee, Mr. Anton Kurniawan, S.P., M.M., this year’s theme was conceived as a source of motivation for the younger generation to become more adaptive in navigating the increasingly complex challenges of the digital era. He further emphasized that through character development and civic education provided throughout this year’s Hello Campus, students are expected not only to grow into capable and skilled individuals, but also into respected role models who contribute meaningfully to the continued progress of the nation.

The moment to take off toward the Nusantara Universe is drawing closer, and soon it will be time for UNDIRA’s newest students to begin exploring this exciting new world. Together, let us embark on the journey of university life, taking it one voyage at a time, towards endless possibilities. Welcome to Nusantara Universe, and see you soon at Hello Campus, our newest members of the UNDIRA community!
