On Saturday, April 27, 2024, an atmosphere of togetherness and warmth colored the Hardjono Danoesastro Auditorium, Faculty of Agriculture, Gadjah Mada University (UGM). The Syawalan of the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics activities was finally held again after being stopped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Attended by the entire extended family of the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics, including students, lecturers, teaching staff, and other important figures, this activity was not just a routine gathering but also a special moment to reunite in warmth and togetherness.
As one of the main highlights, this year’s Syawalan activities also celebrate the retirement moment of a lecturer who has made a significant contribution to the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics, namely Mr. Ir. Harsoyo, M.Ext.Ed. His presence not only provides color but also encourages all participants to continue to be committed to maintaining togetherness and the spirit of family among us.
Despite the challenges of the past few years, this Syawalan activity stands as a testament to our department’s resilience and enduring spirit. The enthusiasm for gathering and staying in touch has never waned, and in this more intimate and warm atmosphere, the presence of each individual becomes even more meaningful, reinforcing our shared bonds.
With heartfelt gratitude, this year’s Syawalan activities were a resounding success, thanks to each family member’s unwavering cooperation and active participation in the Department of Agricultural Socioeconomics. Your contributions are invaluable, and we hope that this spirit of togetherness will continue to strengthen our ties and inspire us all to contribute to the development and progress of our department.
