UNS — Universitas Sebelas Maret (UNS) Surakarta officially inaugurated four new professors. The inauguration took place at the UNS Open Academic Senate Session, Tuesday (23/5/2023). The professor’s inauguration ceremony took place at the Auditorium G.P.H. Haryo Mataram UNS and was broadcast live on Universitas Sebelas Maret Youtube.

The four professors who were inaugurated were Prof. Agung Nur Probohudono, S.E., M.Sc., Ph.D., Ak., CA, CFrA., Prof. Dr. Sri Widoretno, M.Si., Prof. Dr. Ir. Eka Handayanta, M.P., IPU., ASEAN Eng., and Prof. Dr. Cicilia Dyah Sulistyaningrum Indrawati, M.Pd.

The Rector of UNS, Prof. Dr. Jamal Wiwoho, S.H., M.Hum. said that the inauguration of the UNS Professor was a luscious gift for UNS.

 “The addition of several professors has clearly strengthened UNS’ new optimism to pursue the target of 10% of the number of professors. Moreover, UNS has many lecturers with the position of Head Lector, who at least have great potential to increase the number of professors,” Prof. Jamal said.

Currently the world is facing the threat of various crises on a global scale, including energy, food, economics, and even the threat of global warming. So this condition requires the participation of academics, including professors to contribute through their research strengths. The scientific synergy and collaboration of professors are expected to provide broader benefits for the nation.

“I advised that the professors who were inaugurated today be able to continue to work productively through various quality research studies. The hope is that the study and research can provide strategic solutions to solving community problems as well as increase the UNS index at the international level. It is hoped that the existence of professors can continue to have a positive correlation with progress, authority/dignity and determinants of the quality of higher education institutions that are built,” Prof. Jamal added.

Furthermore, Prof. Jamal also hoped that UNS professors would not become relaxed and sluggish after getting the position of professor. “However, be a productive professor guiding students and junior lecturers, writing books, researching, producing reputable scientific works, and producing quality innovations and technologies that are useful and elevate the dignity of himself, the university and the Indonesian people,” Prof. Jamal hoped.
