Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) is further solidifying its reputation as a World-Class University. This commitment is evident through its ongoing cross-cultural exchange program, operating under the U-to-U scheme, between Universitas Gadjah Mada and the National University of Singapore (NUS). This exchange is divided into three main parts: online sessions via Zoom Meeting Room, offline activities in Yogyakarta, and offline engagements in Singapore. This exchange program began in early June and concluded in mid-October 2023.

The Student Conference on English Literature and Linguistics, StuCELL 2023, was successfully held at Universitas Gadjah Mada on October 3-4, 2023. StuCELL is an annual conference that supports those who are interested in doing research within the field of English Literature and Linguistics. This conference gives room for networking and discussion, which is especially valuable for new students seeking experience in this field. In addition, all participants were given the opportunity to hone their skills by submitting their best papers on the topic of “Diversity and Representation: Addressing Issues of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality in Linguistics and Literature.” As such, all participants are encouraged to express their viewpoints and contribute to the critical discussion that will take place, while also gaining insights from each other’s experiences in order to broaden their understanding of diversity and representation.
