May we always be strong in facing anything together," she said. Rector Prof. Dr. Anter Venus, MA, Comm., emphasized this momentum as a space for collective reflection and planning, by highlighting strategic achievements such as the "Informative" predicate for Information and Documentation Management Officers and the Higher Education Public Relations Award with the achievement of 2 Silver Medals and the 2nd Place ranking for Main Performance Indicators within the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, and Technology, competing with 32 other public service agency state universities.
Other achievements include the addition of superior study programs, the establishment of the UPNVJ Community Territory (UCT) as a center for corporate social responsibility activities, and plans to build a 7.2-hectare teaching hospital in Pasar Kemis.
