Veteran National Development University Jakarta (UPNVJ) held a public outreach program for state universities (PTN) and an introduction to study programs at Darul Marhamah Islamic Senior High School (MA) in Bogor on Saturday morning. The event was moderated by UPNVJ Public Relations representatives Anisa Triselia and Ramzi Zainal Abidin, and was attended by 85 participants, consisting of students and their parents.

The outreach aims to expand access to information regarding higher education opportunities, including international programs such as student exchanges with foreign students from partner countries, thereby helping prospective students make the right choice amidst the tight competition to enter state universities.

All participants appeared to be listening to the material well and enthusiastically, especially during the presentation regarding UPNVJ's international programs, including student exchanges with foreign students who have become part of UPNVJ's collaboration with a number of partner countries.

Aliya, a student at MA Darul Marhamah, expressed her enthusiasm and interest after participating in the outreach program. She admitted that she was very fortunate to be able to hear a direct explanation about UPNVJ. Aliya expressed her interest in continuing her education in the UPNVJ Accounting Study Program. She stated that the information provided was very clear and comprehensive, helping her decide on her college choice and further solidifying her desire to study at UPNVJ.

In addition to the students, this activity also received a positive response from parents. Rafiyanti, one of the parents, expressed her hope that her child would continue her education in the UPNVJ Nursing Study Program.

"Thank God, the PR staff's explanations were very clear. I finally understand the available pathways to UPNVJ. Furthermore, I learned about the tuition fees for each pathway, giving me a clearer picture of the future and how to tailor it to my child's needs," Rafiyanti said when met by the UPNVJ Public Relations Team.

Through this outreach activity, UPNVJ hopes to provide prospective students and their parents with a better understanding of the admission pathways, study programs, and available international opportunities, thus helping them determine the right higher education choice. This activity also reflects UPNVJ's commitment to bringing higher education information closer to the community, especially in Islamic boarding school areas, to support equitable access to quality education.
