All heads of administrative sections and subsections in the faculty and the management office attended the work meeting.
UNAIR Rector Prof. Dr. Mohammad Nasih SE MT Ak said the importance of formulating new strategies in supporting UNAIR to achieve Top 100 world rankings. For this reason, he encouraged all participants to carry out transformations in higher education tridharma.
“We expect you to perform as supporting staff in implementing higher education tridharma. Also, we hope that the administrative staff can also support faculty ambassadors in each faculty,” he stated.
Engaged actively
In this year’s work meeting, the rector invited participants to reflect by making plans or innovation activities. After the work meeting, all participants are expected to implement innovations in their respective faculties, institutions, agencies, and directorates.
Prof. Nasih hoped that the involvement of administrators and supervisors in the tridharma implementation will reduce the burden on lecturers in various administrative work. Lecturers are expected to stay focused on education, community service and research.
“I am sure that with the young administrative staff, there will be a lot of enthusiasm and fresh ideas. It means these ideas will support UNAIR achieving the goals, “he said.
Performing administrative transformation
He encouraged all participants to carry out administrative and training transformations. With good faith in contributing, he continued, anything can be achieved.
