ULSA Delivers 36 Vietnamese<br />
Monday, 26 th September<br />
2011, <strong>University</strong> of Labor<br />
and Social Affairs (ULSA),<br />
Vietnam, represented by<br />
Ms. Nguyen Lan Huong<br />
along with 36 Vietnamese<br />
students visited <strong>President</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> (PresUniv),<br />
Indonesia. The purpose of<br />
the visit was to deliver the<br />
36 Vietnamese students<br />
who were going to study<br />
at <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong><br />
this year and to put in<br />
effect several actions<br />
program as covered in the<br />
Memorandum of<br />
Understanding (MoU)<br />
between the two parties<br />
formulated three years<br />
ago. One of several<br />
highlight programs<br />
including 2+2 program<br />
which allows Vietnamese students who have completed a 2 year-study program<br />
in ULSA, Vietnam, to continue another 2 year-study program in PresUniv,<br />
Indonesia. What is so special about 2+2 program in PresUniv? Jhanghiz<br />
Syahrivar, the Head of Public Relations of the <strong>University</strong>, said, “Since our first<br />
establishment, <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong> has aggressively attracted overseas students<br />
to study in Indonesia. 2+2 program with other reputable universities around the<br />
world allows even more overseas students to study in <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
While there are many universities in Indonesia which encourage and send our<br />
local bright students abroad, we simply do the opposite. And that is to attract<br />
bright overseas students to study in Indonesia hence enabling our <strong>University</strong> and<br />
our country to be one of favorite<br />
study destinations in South East<br />
Asia!”<br />
The deliverance of 36<br />
Vietnamese students by one of<br />
reputable universities in Vietnam,<br />
ULSA, was the true sign of trust<br />
and acknowledgement from a<br />
foreign <strong>University</strong> towards the<br />
quality of <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
Indonesia.<br />
WELCOME OUR FOREGIN STUDENTS ARRIVING IN INDONESIA<br />
PresUniv welcomes foreign students from China (54 students), Vietnam (36 students), South Korea (6 Students) and England<br />
(1 student). We hope that the students will enjoy their studies as much as PresUniv will enjoy helping them to realize their<br />
dreams and future careers.

Innovation Among <strong>University</strong> Students<br />
Thursday, 15 th September 2011,<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong> in collaboration with<br />
S.D. Darmono, the founder and CEO of<br />
PT. JABABEKA, tbk., conducted a<br />
seminar entitled “INNOVATON” at the<br />
auditorium of Charles Himawan,<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>,<br />
C i k a r a n g . T h e<br />
seminar started at 9<br />
sharp in the<br />
morning and was<br />
hosted by A.B.M<br />
Witono, the Head<br />
of Business and<br />
Administration of<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
During the seminar,<br />
Darmono asserted<br />
the importance of<br />
i n n o v a t i o n i n<br />
industrial sector.<br />
Innovation was<br />
essential to remain<br />
excel with other<br />
competitors during<br />
the globalization era<br />
regardless the type<br />
and size of the<br />
industry. When<br />
doing some innovation, economic value<br />
of the innovation had to be considered.<br />
No matter how innovative a product or a<br />
service was, if it did not possess any<br />
economic value, then it would be<br />
pointless.<br />
Darmono as the founder of <strong>President</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> encouraged all students to get<br />
their hands “dirty” or to get hands on<br />
experience before graduating from<br />
the <strong>University</strong>. He said that some<br />
theories learned in the classrooms<br />
and good academic scores were not<br />
enough to support learning<br />
experiences, let alone to guarantee<br />
success in life. Students must also<br />
learn some practical skills which could<br />
only be obtained by being an intern in<br />
a company. Moreover, he said that<br />
many companies within Jababeka<br />
Industrial Estate were open for<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s students who<br />
wished to gain working experience<br />
and some pocket money. Darmono<br />
remained all students of <strong>President</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong> that their rivals while seeking<br />
for future employments were not<br />
limited to local graduates only, but also<br />
overseas students from reputable<br />
universities in the world hence English<br />
became compulsory.<br />
During the question and answer<br />
session, a student<br />
asked whether<br />
Indonesia as a new<br />
emerging force<br />
should revolutionize<br />
i t s e c o n o m i c<br />
sectors. Darmono<br />
r e s p o n d e d b y<br />
a s s e r t i n g t h a t<br />
innovation was<br />
indeed revolution!<br />
By doing some<br />
innovation in our<br />
economic sectors in<br />
terms of products,<br />
services, procedures<br />
and p rocesses,<br />
p o l i c i e s , a n d<br />
technologies, we had<br />
h e l p e d<br />
r e v o l u t i o n i z i n g<br />
Indonesia as a<br />
whole.<br />
The inspiring seminar which lasted for 2<br />
hours was attended by Prof. Dr. Ermaya<br />
Suradinata, the Rector of <strong>President</strong><br />
<strong>University</strong>, along with several hundreds<br />
of the <strong>University</strong>’s students.<br />
A Thousand for ONE<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong> (PresUniv) through<br />
Green Planet Supporters (GPS) and<br />
Dirventure (DV) in cooperation with<br />
Toshiba and PT. Jababeka Tbk. organized<br />
A Thousand for One (1000 trees planting)<br />
on Thursday, September 8, 2011 at<br />
PresUniv’s campus. The event was<br />
attended by 150 participants as a form of<br />
awareness of Student Executive Board of<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong> (GPS and DV) to<br />
environment. GPS and DV realize about<br />
many existing industries in Jababeka<br />
surrounding, ± 1500 industries, will cause<br />
environmental problems. For those<br />
reasons, GPS and DV want to protect<br />
environment and educate the<br />
communities about saving our<br />
environment is obligation of all parties<br />
without any exception. On this occasion<br />
GPS and DV also want the younger<br />
generation as successor to nation have a<br />
sensitivity of importance green lifestyle,<br />
more senses of responsibility about<br />
environment and realize that open space<br />
really necessary for community.

The Enchanting Culture Night 2011<br />
L a s t F r i d a y ,<br />
9 th September 2011,<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s<br />
students of batch 2011<br />
enjoyed a unique<br />
experience of Culture<br />
Night at Information<br />
T e c h n o l o g y a n d<br />
Communication (ICT)<br />
T r a i n i n g C e n t e r ,<br />
Jababeka, Cikarang. The<br />
Culture Night is an<br />
annual event held by<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong> to<br />
expose the <strong>University</strong>’s<br />
freshmen with various cultures from<br />
many countries performed by their<br />
fellow friends from Indonesia and<br />
abroad. Attended by not less than 1,100<br />
freshmen, not to mention sophomores,<br />
making this year’s Culture Night the<br />
biggest Culture Night ever held at<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>.<br />
What was so unique about this year’s<br />
Culture Night? As a start, this year’s<br />
Culture Night was held at ICT instead<br />
of <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s main campus<br />
for the reason that the committee of<br />
the event felt the urge to bring about<br />
a more unique experience in<br />
comparison to last year’s event. The<br />
location of ICT which was just few<br />
hundred meters away from the<br />
<strong>University</strong>’s main campus and student<br />
housing top up with its private<br />
location away from the residential<br />
houses was very ideal to conduct<br />
various loud band performances and<br />
dances. To name some in this event:<br />
Jainong Dance, Prekustik and Dinda<br />
Catmusic. The ignition of fireworks<br />
at the end of the event signified that<br />
<strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>’s Culture Night<br />
2011 officially end.<br />
All in all, the Culture Night 2011 was<br />
truly an amazing and memorable event<br />
held this year by <strong>President</strong> <strong>University</strong>. It<br />
served as mean to introduce and<br />
