What's happening in PresUniv
On Saturday (12/11), President University (Presuniv) Alumni Relations Bureau held a Throwback and Gala Dinner with the theme Re-connecting and Celebrating 20 Years of PresUniv. The event was held at Jababeka Golf & Country Club, Cikarang, and was attended by a number of Presuniv alumni from batch 2002-2006. Apart from the alumni, there was also the Presuniv founder, who is also the Chairman of the Jababeka Group, Dr. SD Darmono, the Rector of Presuniv, Prof. Dr. Chairy, and vice rectors, deans, and lecturers. Some alumni come directly from several countries, such as China and Vietnam. Ms. Elleanor Luntao, former manager on earlier years of Presuniv, was also present.
In his welcoming remarks, Darmono expressed his joy at being able to meet the alumni, some of whom were Presuniv's first batch of students. Darmono said, "These first batch of students are warriors. Those from China and Vietnam dare to come to Cikarang, even though they don't fully know what Presuniv is." Darmono continued, they were extremely helpful in the development of Presuniv. Darmono believes that alumni are the university's foundation. "They are the backbone of the university," he said, firmly.
Eleanor Luntao from Philippines, who was recruited by Darmono to take part in managing Presuniv, including managing the dormitory, was also present at the reunion. Eleanor shared her story, "For the first bacth, there are 42 students, with 12 of them from Indonesia. The academic performance of some of them is unsatisfactory. But Pak Darmono convinced me to give them a chance. Now, they have succeeded in becoming successful alumni. I am happy." In line with Darmono, Eleanor also emphasized that alumni are the backbone of the university. (JB Susetiyo, PR team. Photo: President TV).
