Our English Department major held a recruitment event for its students to join the committees of events for an internal Merdeka Belajar – Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. We joined the secretarial division, a division that carries out duties in the administration and file management. Beforehand, our secretarial team had to prepare several things that are related to administration. It was quite challenging at first because this was our first time taking responsibility for secretarial work. We created a registration form for those who expressed interest in participating in these occasions. Since all three events were organized in both offline and online meetings, a scheduled Zoom meeting link was arranged to facilitate the online attendees. After that, we prepared letters of invitation for them. We coordinated with the logistics department in order to handle any required facilities for the event. However, we were still learning throughout the process. Hence we occasionally asked for consultation or guidance from our supervised lecturers and fellow committee members in finishing our work.

OPEN RECRUITMENT
Hello, English Department Students!
It was amidst the chaos of community service when a friend of mine suddenly texted me, “Let’s join Studi Independen!” It did not take long for me to say yes. On the last day of registration, I was clueless. I had no idea which company or position would be best for me. After hours of frustration, I finally chose four companies. In short, I got accepted by Sekolah.mu. The name of their program is 21st-Century Digital Educator. Honestly, I do not really remember why I chose this program, but I believe that I was intrigued by the program’s name. It was fascinating.
The UI/UX Independent Study Program at the Startup Campus was a valuable learning opportunity for me. Through the program, I gained a comprehensive understanding of user experience design, including how to create digital products that provide a seamless and intuitive user experience. I also learned various techniques for generating ideas through the brainstorming process and received valuable insights and best practices from industry professionals.
