Recommendation Letter
The Head of the Study Program or supervisor gives a letter of recommendation. To request this letter, IGOVers usually have to go through a selection and interview stage so that IGOV is deemed worthy of participating in this Student Exchange program.

Aim for a GPA above 3.0
GPA above 3.0 is one of the requirements for applying for the Student Exchange Program. With a GPA of 3.0, students are considered capable of adjusting their abilities academically on the campus of the Student Exchange destination.

Passport
Making this passport requires several requirements. The passport process usually takes about a week or more. Therefore, passports must be prepared in advance, IGOVers.

So, IGOVers can’t just prepare for Student Exchange in one or two days, so IGOVers have to prepare in advance.

Things That Hamper the Development of IGOVers

by Uncategorized

Many things hinder the journey toward our goals and targets. Some of these things sound trivial and are often present unconsciously in our lives. If we allow this, it will damage our process toward our dreams over time. What are these things? Let’s look at the points below:

  1. Insecure With Other People’s Achievements > Focus on Our Process
    Everyone has their own goals, vision, and mission. Of course, the process will be different. It is inappropriate to compare what we have with what others have. So, focus on what we do and be grateful for what we did!
  2. Oversharing > Better to keep it Our Secret Goal
    Having a plan or goal sometimes makes us big-headed and wants to convey it to everyone. So, we should keep our goals secret because telling the specifics of our dreams is the same as giving others more expectations about our plans.
  3. Overthinking > Do it or Leave it
    Overthinking comes from our thoughts about all the bad possibilities. Whereas in reality, it’s not as bad as we think. Don’t let us fight with our minds while others are in the process of getting better. Therefore, do it now or leave it, then enjoy the process!

It aims to prove and account for program activities as evaluation material to make subsequent programs more efficient. Therefore, implementing monitoring and evaluation is very important in an organization.

Friday, April 14, 2023, a monitoring and assessment activity was held at the Zoom meeting. This activity was attended by the Director of IGOV, Sakir Ridho Wijaya, S.IP., M.IP, two IGOV staff, Muhammad Naufal Rofi, S.IP, and Nurul Izzah Aulia, as well as 16 students who were conducting student exchanges in four different countries. This event began with remarks from the director of IGOV, Sakir Ridho Wijaya, S.IP., M.IP. Then the progress of activities at each university and the obstacles they faced while studying abroad were carried out.

Experience studying abroad turns them to have experienced difficulties that made them have to be able to adjust to the culture in the area. They were enthusiastic about conveying ups and downs, especially during Ramadan in neighboring countries. Another obstacle to living abroad is the mosque’s location, which takes 30 minutes from their dormitory, allowing them to get acquainted with Muslims from other countries. Besides that, Moch Noer Rizza, a student exchange student at Khon Kaen University, Thailand, advised always hanging out with fellow Indonesian students abroad. Apart from creating cohesiveness, participating in student associations abroad makes our difficulties easily overcome because we have friends ready to help.
