UPNVJ Public Relations – Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) held a Protocol and Master of Ceremony (MC) training for educational staff. The event took place on Thursday, December 11, 2025, at the Aston Priority Simatupang Hotel & Conference Center and was attended by 37 participants from various work units within UPNVJ.

The training featured two competent speakers. Oki Putra Budiarahman, SH, Head of the Academic Division and a former ministerial protocol officer with experience, presented on protocol. Meanwhile, an external speaker, Muhammad Yunanto, Protocol Officer for the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education, shared official event hosting techniques and government agency protocol practices.

Participants receive a combination of theory and intensive practice regarding venue layout, ceremony layout, respect layout, and MC techniques that meet national standards.

UPNVJ Rector, Prof. Dr. Anter Venus, MA, Comm., officially opened the event. He emphasized that protocol is inseparable from ethics and etiquette.

"Ethics concerns moral truth, while etiquette regulates polite behavior. Both are the foundation of professionalism and excellent service at UPNVJ," Prof. Venus emphasized.

This activity is part of UPNVJ's transformation efforts as a state university that continuously improves human resource capacity. The training outcomes are expected to be directly implemented in all official campus events, from graduations and ceremonies, anniversary ceremonies, international seminars, and guest visits.

Prof. Venus added, "This training reflects UPNVJ's commitment to achieving orderly, professional, and authoritative governance. Well-trained teaching staff will strengthen the reputation of the national defense campus in the eyes of the community and national and international partners."
