Jakarta to the place where the KKN will be held together with Miuhammadiyah
University, Bangka Belitung," said Ghufron.
Prof. Dr. Gunawan Suryoputro,
in his speech, revealed that the 2022 Joint KKN is an integration of the
implementation of the Catur Dharma College of Muhammadiyah, including teaching,
service and empowerment, research, and the field of Muhammadiyah.
"In higher education,
students must actively participate in higher education chess, so students must
follow processes in education and teaching, community service, research, and fostering
Muhammadiyah. In the past, the students' mindset was only focused on teaching.
Now students must also be active in community empowerment, research, and
academic service," said Gunawan.
He asked the students to
innovate, be creative, and take the initiative because students are seen as
educated people and will later become the community's hope in the destination
village.
"KKN is an opportunity
for students to share their knowledge as optimally as possible. So the science
of observation in the classroom, campus, or organization can be useful for the
community. Therefore, from now on, they have to prepare what will they do, so
it becomes a solution," he said
At the end of his speech,
Prof. Dr. Gunawan Suryoputro conveyed his message to the students participating
in the Joint KKN to maintain courtesy and relationships while at the
destination location.
"This KKN is integrated
into the community, so you are required to understand the culture that exists
there. Because you are a student, don't cause problems in society. Don't let
your contribution be in vain. Then, in particular, you are an Uhamka student or
a Muhammadiyah student, so keep in touch while you were there," he said at
the end of his speech.
