Muhammadiyah – ‘Aisyiyah Higher Education Institutions (MHEIs) were currently bustling to welcome the new students. Including Universitas Muhammadiyah Makassar (Unismuh Makassar), they had prepared a unique way to welcome freshmen in the Academic Year of 2022/2023. Located in the parking lot of the Medical and Health Science Faculty (FKIK), the campus provided a free service for motorcycles, medical checks up, and Household Loan Credit (KPR) exhibition. Besides varied programs, the campus also shared special gifts through games. The programs specifically targeted lecturers and educational personnel in Unismuh Makassar for two days, from Wednesday to Thursday (14-15/09).
The programs were opened by the Rector of Unismuh Makassar, Prof Ambo Asse, that collaborated with CIMB Syariah Bank, and PT Suraco Jaya Abadi Motor. On the other hand, Prof Andi Sukri Syamsuri, the Person In Charge, explained that Unismuh has always prepared great service to the students. Therefore, the lecturers and staff should always be in a good condition before the academic learning process starts. “The lecturers, staff, and the cleaning service’s vehicle should be ready as they can not be late to work. The free motor service has been prepared for 100 vehicles, specific for the Yamaha. But we have prepared for the change of motor oil on the other brands,” said Prof Andi when delivering his remarks.
The staff who have no vehicle, he added, could loan a motor with some exemptions. “In this event, the staff can pay in installments without the down payment (DP). They can even directly bring the motor home with its Vehicle Ownership Certificate (BPKB),” he said. On this occasion, CIMB Syariah also offered Household Loan Credit with a low-interest rate. In addition, it also provided bullion ownership service.
Interestingly, FKIK Unismuh also provided medical checkups for blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and blood pressure. “We mainly planned that the lecturers and staff will always be in good condition to welcome the incoming students,” Prof Andi Said.
In his remarks, Prof Ambo Asse reported that the total of Unismuh Makassar’s new students was over 4,000 students. A day before this article was released, 4,027 freshmen were ready to study at Unismuh. On this occasion, Prof Gagaring Pagalung also attended the program accompanied by the CIMB Syariah Branch Area Head of Eastern Indonesia, Herry Usman; the Dean on FKIK Unismuh, Prof. Suryani As’ad; the Secretary of Daily Advisory Board (BPH), Mustakim Muhallim; the Head of Financial Bureau, Shahabuddin Nanda MM; and several Vice-Deans. As a plan, the new student inauguration will be conducted in the Muhammadiyah National Congress Courtroom, Unismuh Makassar, on Thursday (15/09).
