Reaching for the Stars: Hello Campus UNDIRA Inspires Students to Become Independent and Creative Individuals

11 September 2026

Jakarta, September 11, 2026 — It hardly feels like it has been three days, but the participants of Universitas Dian Nusantara (UNDIRA)’s New Student Orientation Program, known as Hello Campus 2026, have finally reached the final destination of their journey. Carrying the theme “Welcome to Nusantara Universe: Shape Your Digital Mindset, Light Your Global Impact!”, the program officially concluded on September 10, 2026, marking the end of a journey across the Nusantara Universe that introduced 1,305 new students to university life since Hello Campus began on September 8, 2026.

Building on the previous sessions focused on broadening students’ perspectives, the third day of Hello Campus continued to equip new students with relevant competencies and networking skills for their future journey. This session featured valuable insights from the Student Affairs Bureau on student organizational structures, student associations, and a range of non-academic activities that students can take part in throughout their time at UNDIRA.

Led by the Head of the Student Affairs Bureau, Anton Kurniawan, S.P., M.M., together with the Student Affairs team, the session was met with great enthusiasm from the participants. In his presentation, Anton emphasized that university life is not simply about managing time to attend classes, gain knowledge, and then go home. Rather, it is an opportunity to explore, embrace new experiences, and interact with people from different backgrounds and personalities, allowing students to understand the social and cultural dynamics that shape each individual.

What I want you all to understand is that university is not just about becoming a ‘kupu-kupu’ student going to class and going straight home. University is much more than that. It is about being willing to engage with the people and environment around you, not only to build connections, but also to learn about character, social values, and humanity. Ms Mira, Mr Faisal, and I, as part of the UNDIRA Student Affairs Bureau team, are always ready to support you. We hope that all of you will gain valuable knowledge and experience through the various student organizations and Student Activity Units (UKM) at UNDIRA. You are not walking this journey alone. Hopefully, we will meet again at your graduation in 2030, when we can see a more confident, accomplished, and well-rounded version of yourselves,” said Anton Kurniawan, Head of the Student Affairs Bureau.

Following Anton Kurniawan’s presentation and introduction, the event continued with an introduction to the UNDIRA Student Executive Board (BEM UNDIRA), which was met with an energetic response from the new students. The session then continued with a presentation from the UNDIRA Student Representative Council (BPM UNDIRA), which introduced its role as a mediator for students’ aspirations and ideas. The segment concluded with brief introductions from eight Student Associations (HIMA), representing various study programs at UNDIRA.

The third day of Hello Campus eventually came to a close with a creative space-themed fashion show featuring the new students, followed by performances from several Student Activity Units (UKM) at UNDIRA. The performances ranged from Futsal to Dance, including a lively performance by the UNDIDANCE team.

With the conclusion of Hello Campus 2026, the journey of 1,305 new UNDIRA students across the Nusantara Universe has come to an end—but only as a beginning, not a finish line. The organizational knowledge, sense of togetherness, and creative energy they gained throughout the three-day program are expected to serve as fuel for their next chapter: developing an adaptable digital mindset and creating a meaningful impact both within the campus community and beyond.

In line with the spirit of the theme, UNDIRA hopes that all new students will continue to “reach for the stars” as they pursue their dreams, grow into independent and well-rounded individuals, and continue creating meaningful contributions throughout their academic journey at UNDIRA.
