The highlight of the 2022 Ramadhan on Campus (RDK) event was conducted on Monday (09/05), located in First Campus Auditorium, UNIMMA. On this occasion, the Daily Advisory Boards, retired employees, and all academic civitas of UNIMMA attended the gathering.

Andi Triyanto, M.Si., the Person in Charge of RDK and the Chairman of Islamic Studies Development (LP2SI) UNIMMA, reported various programs organized over the past month in Ramadhan. “Some time ago, Eid al-Fitr prayer was managed in the Second Campus of UNIMMA and today’s agenda becomes the last and highlighted event in RDK.
