On Monday, April 14, 2025, the English Studies Program held its annual Halal Bihalal gathering at UC Hotel UGM. This event is a cherished tradition following Eid al-Fitr, held each year to foster togetherness and maintain strong bonds within the academic community. In addition to this event, active lecturers also took part in anjangsana—an annual routine to visit the homes of retired English Studies Program faculty members.
