Previously, several IGOV UMY students had won the title of Best Presenter at the National Symposium held by Muhammadiyah University of Lampung (UML). However, this does not make them arrogant and makes them enthusiastic to continue to seek knowledge and improve their abilities. As stated by Gumesa Rahma Jati.
“Even though we received an award yesterday as the best presenter at UML, it doesn’t make us arrogant and feel we can do it, instead it makes us feel like we don’t know anything and want to keep learning so that our values will continue to be honed and developed,” he said. (ARP)
