Friday Full of Kindness: A Unique Exchange Student Experience in Chiang Mai

On Friday, October 20 2023, exchange students from Maejo University, Chiang Mai, Thailand, experienced a special experience when attending Friday prayers at the Peachbuilding Foundation, an Islamic Center located near their campus.

Previously, a group of students, including Acha Fis, carried out a survey of nearby places of worship for Friday activities. This was done in response to the difficulties of those who come from Indonesia and want to carry out worship regularly. Luck came when they met Wan Idrid, head of the Peachbuilding Foundation.

During a meeting on the Maejo campus, exchange students discussed with campus administrators and proposed that every Friday, they could be picked up and taken home by Wan Idrid to perform Friday prayers at the Peachbuilding Foundation. This request was well received, and Wan Idrid himself was happy to receive them in a friendly manner.

Friday events at the Peachbuilding Foundation took place as usual with sermons and Friday prayers. What’s interesting, after the service, they are served with typical Chiang Mai food, Khao Soi, and hot Thai Tea, served directly on the spot. Wan Idrid also gave free avocados to take home.

Awaliyah Igov, one of the participants, shared her experience, noting that Wan Idrid was very friendly and embraced them wholeheartedly. The language barrier is a challenge, especially in communicating with the mothers and children there.

The taste of the food, according to Igov, has strong spices but is not as salty as Indonesian food. Next, students were invited to visit the Peachbuilding Foundation office, where Wan Idrid explained further about the objectives and activities of the Islamic Center.

Wan Idrid, who comes from Malaysia and has a graduate background in international relations, explained that the Peachbuilding Foundation focuses on embracing minority Muslims in Chiang Mai, including local residents and students like them. This foundation also provides mosque places of worship and various religious activities, such as routine studies which are open to the public.

This experience not only increases cultural diversity among exchange students, but also opens their minds to the diverse religious practices in the city of Chiang Mai.

In a recent announcement, The Government Science Program (IP) revealed the introduction of the Short Semester Program for the upcoming 2022/2023 academic year. The short semester is a period of lectures between the transition from the even semester to the odd semester. Its purpose is to offer students a chance to enhance their grades from the previous regular semester, expedite their study progress, and efficiently use the holiday break. However, students participating in the KKN (Kuliah Kerja Nyata) program during the short semester will not be allowed to enroll in regular courses (MK), ensuring they can fully dedicate themselves to their KKN responsibilities.

IP program has outlined a comprehensive timeline for the intermediate semester. Filling the KRS (Kartu Rencana Studi) and making payments will occur from July 3 to July 14, 2023. Lectures are scheduled to commence on July 17, 2023, and continue until September 16, 2023. Students are required to pay the Variable Tuition Fee, along with any other applicable fees, following a similar payment procedure to that of a regular semester. Pre-KRS students must decide on a maximum of 9 credits worth of courses they intend to take before paying through a designated bank in cooperation with IP. Once the payment is completed, students can key in their chosen courses via the KRS system and attend lectures per the provided schedule.

The activity was held on 17-18 September 2022 at Griya Persada Hotel & Convention Resort, Yogyakarta.

IGOV UMY

The activity began with the delivery of material on Building Excellent Service Based on ISLAMIC Work Culture which was presented by Prof. Dr. Nano Prawoto, SE., M.Sc., gives the view that by obtaining consumer surplus or customer satisfaction, it can indirectly promote UMY.

“ISLAMIC (Integrity, Sustainability, Leading, Accountability, Modern, Innovation, Commitment). The 7 letters that symbolize the work culture of UMY are expected to be able to create excellent service. Because excellent service is an important element to encourage lecturers, employees, and technicians to carry out maximum work a day -day. When consumers always get consumer surplus, consumers will get satisfaction. So automatically, students as satisfied consumers indirectly promote UMY.” he said

In addition, to further increase the capacity of education staff (tendik) of the IP UMY Study Program in order to provide excellent service, the activity also attended Endro Dwi Hatmanto, S.Pd., M.A., Ph.D with the material on Building Leadership and Teamwork “High-dose Motivation Towards Work”. Achievement” which provides material on the 4 ethos that must be possessed, namely gratitude, trust, work is service and contribution and work is honor. In addition, he gave the view that a superior and a subordinate must have a good relationship in order to become co-workers.

“In work, the leader plays an important role in creating a comfortable work environment. Leaders must be able to provide innovation in the work environment so that working relationships are not limited to only superiors and subordinates but also become co-workers. For example in Australia, superiors treat subordinates very well so there is no gap between the two. From this example it can be said that a comfortable environment will increase morale.” he said

It is very important to carry out technical capacity building activities. Therefore, this all-day activity can provide benefits for UMY IP Study Program students who are at the forefront of service for consumers. (ARP)
