On April 24, 2024, the Faculty of Agriculture, Gadjah Mada University, celebrated the Period III Postgraduate Program Graduation ceremony at the Hardjono Danoesastro Auditorium, Faculty of Agriculture UGM. This event marked the successful completion of academic journeys for 44 male and female graduates from 9 postgraduate programs, a collective achievement that we all can be proud of.
The Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics also contributed brilliantly by graduating 15 graduates from two of its superior programs. The Master’s Program in Agricultural Economics graduated one graduate, while the Master’s Program in Agribusiness Management graduated 14 graduates. This outstanding achievement indicates the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics’ commitment to producing future leaders who are competent in their fields.
One moment worth highlighting is Maulia Hikmah’s success. She emerged as the Best Graduate at Department level with a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 3.92. This achievement is not only a source of pride for Maulia herself but also an inspiration for her colleagues to continue pursuing high academic achievements.
However, the pride doesn’t stop there. Iustitia Widya Prastiti, a Master of Agribusiness Management student, registered her name as the youngest graduate of the Faculty of Agriculture for this graduation period at 22 years, 8 months, and 22 days. Iustitia’s success is not only reflected in her brilliant achievements but also in her participation in the fast track program, which, according to her, is very helpful in the career acceleration process.
The achievements of these graduates are not just personal triumphs, but also significant steps towards the vision of the UGM Faculty of Agriculture to support sustainable development goals. Their sustainability-oriented education and research have equipped them to be agents of change, contributing to the protection of the environment and the advancement of society.
As part of the UGM Faculty of Agriculture family, we hope that the graduates and female graduates will continue to make achievements and contribute to realizing positive change for Indonesia and the world. Congratulations to all graduates and graduate students; we hope this success will start a journey of achievements and sustainability.
