The Student Executive Board (BEM) of Universitas Gajayana
Malang successfully organized a major event titled Student Organization (Ormawa)
Upgrading. Held on Monday, April 27, 2026, the event took place in the
Postgraduate Hall of Uniga Malang and was attended by organizational
functionaries from various faculties.
Carrying the provocative theme, "Student Organizations
at a Crossroads: Between Idealism and the Reality of Campus Apathy," the
event was designed to address growing concerns over declining student
participation in organizational life.
The event was officially opened by the Vice Rector II of
Uniga Malang, Dr. Drs. Sugeng Mulyono. In his opening address, he provided
administrative guidance and also served as a speaker. He emphasized that
university progress relies heavily on active collaboration between campus
administration and students. "Students must be able to balance academic
obligations with organizational responsibilities. Student organizations are the
finest platform to mature leadership skills before entering society," Dr.
Sugeng stated.
To broaden participants' perspectives, BEM Uniga invited Moh
Fauzi, Coordinator of BEM Malang Raya, as a guest speaker. Fauzi dissected the
increasingly prevalent phenomenon of "Campus Apathy" and shared
strategies for student organization leaders to remain relevant in advocating
student issues.
Student Body President of Uniga Malang, Hendra Muansyah,
serving as the event organizer, stated that this activity represents an initial
step toward reigniting the movement spirit on campus. The event is expected to
strengthen internal solidarity among student organizations across Uniga while
heightening student awareness regarding their role as agents of change.
This Upgrading session is envisioned not merely as a
ceremonial gathering, but as a momentum for Uniga Malang students to close
ranks once more. Equipped with insights from both administrative and student
movement perspectives, Uniga student organizations are now prepared to face
campus realities with a renewed spirit of idealism.
