STIAMAK Barunawati Surabaya, a national private university, continues to strive to improve the quality of academic services for its students. The campus is now replacing all Personal Computers (PCs) in the computer laboratory and opening a new language laboratory thanks to assistance from Pelindo.
The Chairman of STIAMAK Barunawati Surabaya, Dr. Gugus Wijonarko, MM, revealed that his institution is in the process of replacing all PCs in the computer laboratory. “We are replacing all the computer laboratory PCs with new ones. Later, this laboratory will also be used for the English language laboratory,” said Gugus Wijonarko when receiving a donation of 10 PCs from the Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) program of Pelindo Regional.
Regional Devision Head of HR and General Affairs of Pelindo, Juju Juarsih, SPsi, MM, stated that this PC assistance may seem small compared to the large needs of the campus, but it is hoped that it can provide significant benefits for students. “We think this assistance is small when viewed from the large needs of the campus. Hopefully, this PC assistance will be beneficial for STIAMAK, especially for the students,” said Juju.
STIAMAK is currently building a new atmosphere of campus life that is more comfortable and supports the teaching and learning process. The campus is committed to serving students to the fullest, making them feel comfortable and at home on campus.
STIAMAK Surabaya offers a Bachelor of Business Administration program with a concentration in port business and logistics business, which offers morning and afternoon lectures. The lecturers who teach are business practitioners from the Pelindo Group, shipping companies, loading and unloading, trucking, container depots, forwarding, and export-import. In addition, STIAMAK also provides an RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) student program. This program allows students who are already working to convert their work experience into course credits, so they can complete their undergraduate studies faster.
The importance of support from state-owned enterprises such as Pelindo and the private sector in the world of education cannot be underestimated. Assistance like this not only helps improve campus facilities, but also encourages an increase in the overall quality of education. Support from various parties can strengthen the foundation of national education, provide better access for students, and ultimately create more competent human resources who are ready to compete in the world of work.
Repiw’s Conclusion: With PC assistance from Pelindo, STIAMAK Barunawati Surabaya continues to innovate and strives to improve the quality of education. This step demonstrates the campus’s strong commitment to preparing students for a competitive world of work. Support from state-owned enterprises and the private sector is very important in strengthening the national education sector, providing a major positive impact on the future of students.
