Waking up in a room with a view of yellowing and reddening trees would have been my wildest dream until a year ago. Every new thing that I have experienced from last year’s September until December is the result of sleepless nights and staring at my laptop for four months. IISMA truly gave me the chance to taste my childhood wish, and I could never be more grateful than I am today. As this is one of my biggest milestones, I cherish every second that I spend in Dublin, Ireland, and make sure to engrave all passing moments in my mind–probably in my phone’s gallery as well. I am Konan, and here is a glimpse of my life as an IISMA awardee in University College Dublin. read more

English Studies Programme’s Student

This past Sunday, January 28th, 2024, was a bittersweet day for the English Studies Programme, as we gathered to bid farewell to a beloved member of our faculty, Bapak Dr. Tofan Dwi Harjanto, M.A., who is stepping on the well-earned journey of retirement. Over the span of more than 20 remarkable years, Pak Tofan has been the bedrock of our study programme, imparting his extensive knowledge in Semantics, Pragmatics, Discourse Analysis, and Academic Writing. His prolific contributions have yielded more than 41 publications, each reflecting his unwavering dedication and profound knowledge.

It has been a privilege to have Bapak Tofan Dwi Harjanto walk the halls of our department. His unwavering commitment to education, and his mentorship have profoundly enriched us all. As Pak Tofan transitions into this new chapter of life, we take this moment to honour and celebrate the indelible mark he has left on our study programme.

Pak Tofan, we extend our deepest gratitude for the years of guidance, inspiration, and wisdom you have shared with us. May your retirement be as rewarding and fulfilling as your time here with us. You leave behind a legacy that will be cherished and upheld for many years to come.
