Kepercayaan, Mahasiswa, dan Tradisi Juara UAD

/in /by

Meningkatnya minat calon mahasiswa Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) menandakan semakin tingginya kepercayaan masyarakat terhadap Perguruan Tinggi Muhammadiyah ini. Pernyataan tersebut disampaikan Rektor UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum., dalam pidato laporan tahunan rektor 2017 yang dilangsungkan Sabtu (30/12/2017) di auditorium kampus 1 UAD, Jln. Kapas 9, Semaki, Yogyakarta.

 

“Sebagai bentuk timbal balik tersebut, UAD terus berupaya meningkatkan pelayanan akademik yang baik bagi mahasiswa, yang dilakukan oleh dosen dalam proses pembelajaran dan pelayanan administrasi yang nyaman oleh tenaga kependidikan,” terang Kasiyarno.

 

Untuk menjamin kualitas proses pembelajaran, salah satu upaya yang dilakukan dengan memberikan pembinaan prakuliah. Pembinaan dimulai sejak calon mahasiswa dinyatakan lulus masuk UAD. Mereka dibekali pelatihan teknologi informasi (IT), bahasa Inggris, soft skill, dan kewirausahaan.

 

Upaya lain untuk menghasilkan lulusan berkualitas melalui penyediaan kurikulum yang sesuai kebutuhan masyarakat, pengembangan metode pengajaran active learning, penyediaan sarana prasarana yang memadahi, layanan berbasis IT, dan dosen yang berkualitas.

Selama tiga tahun terakhir, UAD telah meluluskan 8.251 mahasiswa dengan 29% di antaranya berpredikat cum laude. Indeks Prestasi Kumulatif (IPK) dari tahun ke tahun terus meningkat. Tahun 2015 3,27, pada 2016 meningkat menjadi 3,31, dan 2017 mengalami peningkatan menjadi 3,38.

“Kesuksesan lulusan UAD tidak hanya ditentukan oleh kemampuan akademik semata, melainkan juga kemampuan atau keterampilan non-akademik. Untuk membekali keterampilan tersebut maka pembinaan kemahasiswaan dilaksanakan dalam 5 kategori, yaitu penalaran, minat dan bakat, keorganisasian, kesejahteraan, serta kekaderan.”

 

 

Tradisi Juara

Sampai saat ini, UAD dapat mempertahankan tradisi juara, antara lain selalu masuk dalam 3 besar Mahasiswa Berprestasi (Mawapres) tingkat Kopertis Wilayah V dari tahun 2002 sampai 2017, dan finalis atau juara pada ajang Mawapres tingkat nasional. Tradisi juara juga ditunjukkan dalam bidang Program Kreativitas Mahasiswa (PKM) serta National University Debating Contest (NUDC).

Pembinaan mahasiswa dalam bidang minat dan bakat diimplementasikan dalam bentuk penyediaan unit kegiatan mahasiswa (UKM) dan komunitas-komunitas kegiatan dan organisasi otonom (Ortom) Muhammadiyah. Pada 2017 ini jumlah UKM sebanyak 16 unit, organisasi kemahasiswaan dalam bentuk komunitas 12 unit, sedangkan organisasi otonom Muhammadiyah 3 unit.

“Salah satu kegiatan besar yang berhasil dilaksanakan mahasiswa dari UKM Madapala yakni Operasi Katarak bagi Lansia. Kegiatan bakti sosial ini bekerja sama dengan Yayasan DHARMAIS dan PERDAMI Yogyakarta  pada 23 April 2017 di RS UAD dan berhasil mengoperasi sekitar 70 lansia. Kemudian ada pentas Teater Jaringan Anak Bahasa (JAB) di kota Surabaya dan Purwokerto.”

Di kancah internasional, Ika Suciwati, mahasiswa UAD, memperoleh 3 penghargaan. Best Paper pada ASEAN Youth Cultural Exposure 2017 di Thailand, Best Idea, serta Best Team pada ASEAN International Summit 2017 di Malaysia.

 

“Prestasi lain yang tak kalah membanggakan mahasiswa Program Studi Profesi Apoteker (PSPA), Liliyani Fatonah, meraih nilai tertinggi nasional dalam UKAI (Uji Kompetensi Apoteker Indonesia) dengan angka 84. Nilai ini jauh di atas standar nilai UKAI yaitu 46,21,” jelas Kasiyarno.

 

Setelah mendapat akreditasi A dari Badan Akreditasi Nasional Perguruan Tinggi (BAN-PT), UAD terus berbenah. Utamanya dalam meningkatkan kualitas sumber daya manusia dosen maupun mahasiswa. Peningkatan ini bertujuan untuk memaksimalkan potensi dan memertahankan tradisi juara agar UAD semakin dikenal di kancah nasional maupun internasional. (doc/ard)

“Kami mengapresiasi dan berterima kasih kepada Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) yang telah mendukung program pemerintah dengan mendaftarkan seluruh karyawannya ke BPJS. UAD juga telah memiliki beberapa fakultas yang berafiliasi dengan kesehatan. Tetapi, bagaimana dengan kesehatan dosen dan mahasiswanya?”

 

Pertanyaan menggelitik ini disampaikan Menteri Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, Prof. Dr. dr. Nila Farid Moeloek, Sp.M. (K)., dalam acara pidato tahunan rektor UAD yang diselenggarakan Sabtu (30/12/2017) di auditorium kampus 1 UAD, Jln. Kapas 9, Semaki, Yogyakarta.

Menurutnya, kesehatan adalah tanggung jawab bersama. Ia menegaskan harus ada konsep paradigma sehat di masyarakat agar kesehatan menjadi sebuah kebudayaan. Pada orasi ilmiahnya, Nila juga mengajak semua elemen untuk sadar terhadap pentingya pola hidup sehat.

 

“Saya yakin, dosen dan karyawan UAD jarang olahraga karena banyak kerjaan. Gini deh, sakit kan bikin susah, coba seminggu sekali senam. Minimal 4 menit, mau maumere atau senam lainnya boleh, asal gerak. Kalau perlu, Pak Rektor setop dulu kerja dan kuliahnya,” kelakar Menteri Kesehatan ini.

Ia juga berpesan, sebagai salah agen perubahan, mahasiswa harus turut berpartisipasi mengedukasi masyarakat dengan pengetahuan mengenai sistem kesehatan yang ada. (ard)

“Semoga semakin banyak yang mengindeks, maka diseminasi makalah yang diterbitkan di IJAIN akan lebih bermanfaat dan diakses lebih luas, karena target kami ke depan adalah IJAIN dapat terindeks oleh pengindeks bereputasi internasional lainnya seperti SCOPUS dan Web of Science,” ungkap Andri Pranolo, S.Kom., M.Cs. (Chief IJAIN).

/in /by

In collaboration with the Tabligh Assembly and the Library and Information Assembly of Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) Yogyakarta, Ahmad Dahlan University (UAD) library held a book discussion on Adicerita Hamka’s book. This book was written by a Western writer, James R. Rush.

The book review which was entitled "Adicerita Hamka: Islamic Vision of the Great Writer for Modern Indonesia" was held on Thursday (28/12/2017), in the hall of Islamic Center of Campus 4, UAD on Jln. Ringroad Selatan, Tamanan, Bantul. The event presented Prof. Dr. H. Ahmad Syafi'ie Ma'arif, Prof. Dr. Yinahar Ilyas, Lc., M.Ag., And Nasir Tamara, Ph.D. as the speakers.

In his opening speech, Ahmad Muhadjir, Lc.M.A., representing the Chief of PWM DIY conveyed his message on the benefits of discussion as one means of da’wah. Another thing that was equally important was to provide an example to the community related to figures to look up to, like a Buya Hamka.

 In the discussion session, according to Syafi'ie Ma'arif, Hamka was an expert and successful in writing history using psychological approaches, especially on literature. "He is a free thinker and has a remarkable memory. Hamka learns from anyone and always tries to improve his knowledge," he explained.

On this occasion, Syafi'ie also mentioned that UAD needed to do more workshops and open discussions of this kind. According to him, the discussion will give insight and provide new views on a specific topic. He pointed out that at least we should live like Hamka. Although he was hated initially, the people who hated him finally recognized his talent.

"Being wild is important, especially in terms of thinking and writing. Hamka makes his haters respect him through his writings," said Shafi'ie.

Meanwhile, Yunahar Ilyas gave a slightly different view. From his view, Buya Hamka was a remarkable figure. "He is naughty, but he could be a great scholar and writer. Let's reflect on that."(Ard)
