UCIC Virtual Tour

Explore Surabaya at Home With Virtual Tour by UCIC

/

Explore Surabaya at Home With Virtual Tour by UCIC Surabaya is a metropolitan city that has a lot of memories to remember. Not only about history, but also about cuisine and everything in the city that has a deep meaning to patriot land. Starting from buildings, bridges, shopping complexes, and worship places, there are a lot of stories that can be studied more to increase awareness about loving self-district and also the sense of tolerance in community life. So with that, NNP in the program of UCIC held the event of the Surabaya Virtual Tour in a zoom meeting that was followed by 80 participants on Friday, October 29th, 2021.        The event was opened by Felicia Yohana and Natasha Valerie at 03.00 PM with the greetings of Mrs. Suryani Halim, as head of NNP, and Ms. Gracia Ongkowijoyo, as head of UCIC. On this occasion, UCIC invited Mr. Mijil Priyonggo, who was Cak Suroboyo, and also Mr. Erik Stenly, S.I.Kom., M.Sc, lecturer of HTB Major at Ciputra University. “Welcome everyone and enjoy our tour at one of Surabaya’s most memorable corners,” Mr. Mijil said. In the opening, he shows the appearance of the monument. Then, he moved to the next destination, the International Building, which was the place for allies based in the colonial era and has become an office right now. The second place is the Cerutu Building, which is located on the seventh floor of Rajawali Street. As history says, this building was a sugar factory  and still keeps the wholeness. Because of that, this building was nominated as the cultural heritage of Surabaya. After that, Mr. Mijil invites the participants to enjoy the scenery of the Red Bridge. However, due to the poor network, some of my explanation to him is lost. Because of that, the explanation to be continued by Mr. Stanley is that there is no more reconstruction on this bridge. He also tells us about the next destination, Kya Kya. “Kya Kya” in English was meant as “strolling and walking around” said Mr. Stanley, lecturer of HTB. Then Mr. Mijil was moved to Klenteng in this trade complex, which has unique architecture and also unique toys called “Wayang Potehi or Glove Puppetry.” This puppet is used to tell a Chinese story, like the Wayang Kulit story in Javanese. “After going around the stories of the Netherlands, China, and the last time we go to an Arabian village called Ampel,” Mr.Mijil said at the front gate of the religion tourism location. He tells us about the history of why it became a sacred place for Moslems there. As the name implies, this region was the grave of a guardian god called Sunan Ampel. In this place, there’s an old mosque from the year 600. Besides it, Ampel was well known for its culinary. In this place you can get special food as the theme of the Arabian village is Arabian food. So with that, Mr. Mijil and the crew go on to the next destination, named Yaman Kuliner. From the explanation of Mr. Stanley, there are a lot of kinds of Arabian cuisine, such as maryam bread, sambosa, and kabsa rice. Lastly, Mr. Mijil shows the food that has already been ordered on site. He also goes to the kitchen and shows how to make this delicious food. Located at KH.Mas Mansyur Street, Ampel Surabaya, this restaurant was famous for the deliciousness of its food. So, this place becomes the closing of a long virtual tour that day. On this occasion, Mr. Stanley gives advice to people that tolerance is needed and has been for many years. It was emphasized by Mr. Mijil that this diversity is rich in culture, religion, and history as assets to building a country. With this statement, the virtual tour was ended by them, to be continued by Ms. Gracia with a trivia quiz. Based on this event, students are expected to be grateful for everything that has now been achieved and try to keep it sustainable until posterity can still enjoy it and remember to keep tolerance in community life.  Written by: Kirana Ratu Sekar Kedaton Edited by : Juanita Zelia Valezka Tanjung Designed by: Valencia Wijaya H

UCIC Talk Show Volume 3: Why Should You Join a Dual Degree?

/

UCIC Talk Show Volume 3: Why Should You Join a Dual Degree? Everybody knows that studying in different places together will create a new challenge for someone. Everyone struggles to finish a study, especially when we must finish the same credits at the same time. It will be a hard reality to do, but as we know, it turns out to be only a myth. Because of the ease of information that we can get from the internet. When was the last time we had to be complicated because of our ignorance of what else we needed to learn by double degree methods? So, why should we pursue a dual degree? On Thursday, October 22, 2021, one of the departments at Ciputra University, Networking and Partnership (NNP), held a UCIC Talk Show Volume 3 on the theme of “Why Should You Join Dual Degree”. With the opening of MC, Felicia Yohana, and Natasha Valerie, 60 participants were enthusiastic about the opening of two alumnae of UC, Grace Rosary Utomo, S.M., BA, and Timothy Orchard Setiawan, S.M., BA. But before that, the event was opened by a few short greetings from the Head of NNP, Mrs. Halim Suryani, and also the head of UCIC, Ms. Gracia Ongkowijoyo. She also explains the new program of NNP called “UCIC Ambassador” that provides many benefits to students from the experience and achievement that NNP gives. “The reason why you must do a dual degree at Coventry University is to save money to earn two degrees in sequence to study abroad at a reputable university, get a UK degree, get international experience, and also network and gain knowledge that you will get from here,” said Grace. She talks about courses also at Coventry, like the thoughtful lectures, learning systems that support you in learning from real-case studies, as well as lecture and seminar classes. She also talks about the course tasks that are given in the form of 1-2 tasks per course. They also give mentoring time and provide 24-hour library services that are helpful for Coventry students who need as much literacy as the university system that respects research. Then, questions about accommodation and social lifestyle will be the most frequently asked by everyone who wants to study abroad. At this time, Timothy was talking about the accommodation that everyone needs to study there in general. “Coventry provides wonderful rooms, excellent security and protection, strategic locations, and also provides the communal spaces to do some socializing for study, to dine, or maybe to work out,” said the boy who worked at OFIculture Family Business. He also said that there are so many clubs and societies to join. There are also lots of events provided by the Student Union. Aside from improving your English skills, everyone who studies at Coventry University will have the opportunity to learn the language of another country around the world. This university provides instructions in over 20+ languages that can be run in the months of February and October. This course was run once a week with a total of 10 meetings. You will get a certificate of completing this course when you attend at least 70% of the sessions. The fun and happy things that you can do are travel around London, watch a football match, attend a music concert, and visit Christmas markets. “Great locations are not too crowded and not too quiet, affordable living costs, and the ability to do a part-time job for 20 hours per week are the main reasons why you must get a dual degree at Coventry,” said Timothy.  So with that, they tell you about the tips for joining the double degree program from IELTS and TOEFL to get a VISA. They also say that you must be prepared to face difficulties when you are there, like time management, the accents of friends that can be confusing, and also terrible homesickness. At the enclosure, after the handover of the online certificate, Timothy gives some statements about studying abroad: “every place will give you many experiences and knowledge; st Written by: Kirana Ratu Sekar Kedaton Edited by : Juanita Zelia Valezka Tanjung Designed by: Valencia Wijaya H

Learn From Diversity

UC Global Chat & Guest Lecture: Learn From Diversity

Learn From Diversity: UC NNP collaborates with UC’s FIKOM Major and holds a UC Global Chat / Guest Lecture for Ciputra University’s FIKOM (Multimedia) Major Speakers :   Professor Robert Evans (Dean International, Faculty of Business and La,  Curtin University Australia) Mina Cho (International Partnership Consultant, Curtin University) Patricia Kelly ( In-Country Recruitment Executive) 14 October 2021, an important day for Communication Science class students where there were at least three batches of FIKOM Major itself attending the event, including students from batch 2019, 2020, and 2021. The event was held through ZOOM Meeting and a live broadcast from UC’s very own FIKOM Radio and FIKOM’s Youtube Live.  The event was not only for FIKOM students but the event was also available for students from different majors but FIKOM itself has the highest participants because the materials that are delivered by our speakers relates to their course. The host for the event is Ms Patricia Amanda Pascarina, who is also a lecturer from FIKOM major. The first session is conducted by UC NNP, which is the UC Global Chat. The speakers also came from Curtin University. The event was started by Ms. Amanda at 01.00 PM (Western Indonesia Time).  After that, the event continued by greetings of Head UC NNP (Networking and Partnership), Mrs. Suryani Halim, Head of UC NNP and Ms. Gracia Ongkowijoyo (Vice head of UC’s International Office). After the speeches by both Mrs. Suryani and Ms. Gracia, the stage was passed to our first session speakers, which are Ms. Mina Cho, MBA, Mbus (international Partnership Consultant – Curtin University), and Patricia Kelly (In Country Recruitment Executive Indonesia) “So glad to be there with you again, although in a pandemic situation that will be different from the last time I’m going to Ciputra University,” said Ms. Mina in her greetings. She also directly explains and says who she is and what she will give to Ciputra University students. Ms. Mina tells us that Curtin University is the first ranked Business University in Australia. She tells us about the facility and how it feels like studying there. But, it turns out the time to move the main session about the guest class which is guided by the Dean of Curtin University too, Prof. Robert Evan in the main topic of “Leadership and Intercultural Communication”. The guest lecture’s theme was inspired by the multiculturalism that may be found at any time and in any place. Despite the fact that everyone believes they are in the same location and share the same culture, there will be differences. Because differences aren’t simply about religious culture, but also about regular behavior. “The Hofstede approach states that the social culture that was built in the country is pure selection that generated a new difference, but they have the power to make a positive impact for everyone,” Prof Robert Evan remarked in the first session. He discussed why we must be understanding of others and the consequences of doing so if we wish to integrate with them. Prof. Robert Evan then goes on to explain how differences cause us to struggle and how to look outside the box. He uses the culture of organization and leadership in Indonesia and Australia as an example. He differentiates and spreads culture between them based on human characteristics (individualism vs collectivism), leadership characteristics, the indulgence of purpose working, the orientation of time work, and how this country resolves ambiguous organizational problems. He discovered a lot of contrasts between them based on this concept. “The Indonesian people are more open and responsible to adopt new cultures, but the one aspect that makes Indonesia the formal one is in organizational communication, which is more rigid, so they prefer to remain mute and follow what the boss says,” Prof. Evan explains. The problem is when being compared to Australian people, they are typically more  individualistic, but they apply informal organizational communication to make sure every problem or tragedy happens in the office. When there’s an exchange of opinions in a group, there will be rich solutions that will appear if they can be managed well. This also becomes the answer to why Indonesian people take a short time to solve their organizational problems. It is very different with the Australian people who prefer to take a long time to discuss the problem, even if it’s hurtful to say. Prof. Robert Evan believes that differences will be kept to a minimum if everyone, including themselves, can manage their egos and wish to listen to everything before forming an opinion. Because listening is the means by which everyone may develop tolerance, which will lead to unified and productive intercultural conversation. As a result, Mr. Evan concluded his lesson by quoting Robert Alan, “differences in culture will not separate you, but other cultures will provide you a power to be of value to everyone.” With that statement, the guest lecture was closed and continued with the question and answer sessions from UC Global Chat session about how to transform study there, student exchange, or double degrees in between Ciputra University and Curtin University bachelor’s degree. This session will be the enclosure of this event led by Patricia Kelly, the delegation of Curtin University who is also in Country Recruitment of Executive Indonesia at 17.00 WIB.

Surabaya, November 25, 2021- For the number of students at Ciputra University, this is the time everyone is waiting for, especially for those who will be attending the winter school at the end of the year. This event was opened by MC, Jonathan Edward, who was followed by the rector of Ciputra University, Ir. Yohannes Somawiharja, M.Sc, on the Zoom meeting platform by life without missing the solemnity of the event. “I hope everybody who joined this program enjoys this new experience,” said him, enclosing the opening greeting. This event was also opened by Dr. Iskandar Itan as Rector of Batam International University (UIB), Prof. Ir. Dr. Lee Sze Wei as President of Tunku Abdul Rahman University College, and Prof. Dr. Christina Widya Utami, M.M., CLC, CPM (A) as Vice President of Academic Affairs of Ciputra University. In the closing remarks of the opening session of the event, Widya said, “This new journey will give you many lessons and I hope you’ll learn more there. Also, thank you for being our partner in this program.” The event was to be continued with a performance of a traditional opening dance called Remo by Agung Prasetyo, a student of Communication Science at Ciputra University 2020. “An amazing service from dance, also amazing people there, and I’m proud,” said Gracia Ongkowijoyo, S.E., M.Sc. “I also want to express my gratitude to all the partners in this program,” said Gracia Ongkowijoyo, S.E., M.Sc. Her greeting is also the opening for the leader and stakeholders of this program, including Dr. Henry Susanto Pranoto, B.Sc. in Bible, B.Mus., M.Mus. After that, the event was to be continued with foto sessions and an explanation of the winter school program that only the participants could attend. Mr. Henry Pranoto gives an overview of the direction of this program that will be held on November 18th through December 17th, 2021, in the theme of Cultural Exchange Performance Entertainment. He directs all participants to register at the links below on his PPT, also providing information about the cultural experiences that will be held like music, fashion, dance, foods, and languages. Not only that, but the final project was also described at this session and showed how the videos will be done. At this moment, Ciputra University also teaches about the history of Sekartaji through the sharing of Mr. Dwi Cahyono. “Culture was the main point of the country; without that, it would be bad news and a bad future for the country because that means we are losing identity,” said the expert on culture. Through this event, the stakeholders want to improve the knowledge of the younger generation about their culture and story. Because who wants to conserve it if not the Indonesian people? As a result, Indonesia will be the most powerful country not only in economic, social, and political terms, but also in all aspects of government life, particularly in culture. Thus, us being the younger generation, must be smart and be responsible for the Indonesian identity that is rich and varied in culture.

UCIC Talkshow : Working Abroad International Internship and Job Access

/

UCIC Talkshow : Working Abroad International Internship and Job Access Ciputra University always provides huge opportunities for students to get their best experience and get the career that they need. At that time, NNP held a talk show about the ways to get access to internships and get international jobs. So, it began with the opening of MC, Felicia, and Natasha Valerie from the UCIC Community. Then, for the opening, Mrs. Suryani, as head of NNP, gave her welcome to all participants, as well as a greeting and support to all of the students, encouraging them to always be full of spirit to learn and get more experience in internships and maybe work at an international scope. After the MC’s opening, the next in the agenda is Mrs. Suryani Halim’s greetings followed by Ms. Gracia Ongkowijoyo’s greeting. “Hello students, here we want to show you all that everyone has an opportunity to study, intern, and work at the international office, so this event is the best choice for you all to get new insights,” said Ms. Gracia. Not only that, but she also gives an introduction about things that have a correlation with the theme called “EFMD Higher Platform.” This platform is a digital career platform that provides global job opportunities, masterclasses, career assessments, and virtual career fairs worldwide. Higher is inclusive and diverse and has more than 650 school partners in 91 countries. This is a worthwhile platform for students and fresh graduates to improve their personal branding and insight to get their dream job. So, during this talk show, NNP invites alumnae of UC 2006, Pauline Kurniani Litular, who is working as a Marketing Engineer at Devinta (Amsterdam, North-Holland, Netherlands). Women from Tomohon are competitive students who can demonstrate their success by studying abroad after graduating from Ciputra in HAN University of Applied Science in 2010. A short history that makes her famous includes three reasons: travel, Instagram feeds, and shopping. But who knows, when it is done by stepping outside of one’s comfort zone, new and exciting opportunities may arise. So, what is the real reason for choosing to move abroad? Imagine that you are at the end of a canyon that pushes you to jump over it, so you will get to your next destination. This description is the implicit reason why you must encourage your opportunity to get to the next level in your career, “said Devina. She says that if you work abroad, you will get new life experiences, exposure to new cultures, and personal development. Pauline’s choice of Amsterdam as the place to work is because this city is the most diverse in the world, so everyone uses English to speak, making it easier for everybody who becomes a nomad there. Not only that, Amsterdam was the European tech hub, which meant suitable for Pauline’s skills. So with that, she advises all of Ciputra’s students to prepare the language, improve and get to know everything to earn experience, and also do their homework perfectly. Pauline gives the ex-pat survival kit to have a career abroad. They are problem-solving, adaptability, effective communication, entrepreneurialism, social intelligence, emotional intelligence, transdisciplinarity, being curious and open, and budgeting. At the end of her session, she gives a warning to all that “you don’t move to work, but you move to live.” This statement is the encloser of the event that continues with the interactive Q&A sessions led by Ms. Gracia as the vice president of NNP. The enthusiasm of this talk show apparently has not lost its essence for students. At the end of the event, Mrs. Suryani gives gratitude with a symbolic handover of the certificate to Pauline. Through this, NNP hopes that all of the students can always be in good spirit when undergoing these learning times at Ciputra University and all about it.
