The Faculty of Science and Mathematics (FSM) at Diponegoro University held its Alumni Consolidation event on Saturday, May 17, 2025, at the Grand Mercure Hotel Kemayoran, Jakarta. The event was attended by over 80 alumni representing seven study programs at FSM UNDIP — Mathematics, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Statistics, Informatics/Computer Science, and Biotechnology — spanning cohorts from 1986 to 2019. This gathering aimed to strengthen alumni bonds and support the faculty’s development toward greater international recognition.
In his opening remarks, Arif Kurniawan, Vice Chair of the FSM UNDIP Alumni Association, encouraged alumni to actively engage as strategic partners of the faculty. He emphasized that alumni should not only be part of the faculty’s past but also act as agents of change for the future of FSM and UNDIP. He highlighted the importance of cross-generational collaboration among alumni to drive collective progress.
Prof. Dr. Kusworo Adi, S.Si., M.T., Dean of FSM UNDIP, underscored the critical role alumni play in enhancing the university’s reputation, especially in international rankings such as the QS World University Rankings, which consider employer reputation and graduate outcomes as significant indicators.
The event also explored various ways alumni can contribute, including facilitating professional networks for current students and recent graduates, providing job referrals, and fostering collaborations between the faculty and industry partners. Alumni further support the faculty through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives from their respective workplaces, aiding scholarships, research funding, and infrastructure development. Active alumni involvement is expected to strengthen FSM’s position as a leading faculty capable of competing on a global scale.
As a strategic move, the Dean officially inaugurated the Alumni Advisory Board, chaired by Mr. Arif Kurniawan. This board will serve as a key partner in policy formulation and in expanding the global alumni network. With this advisory board, alumni are empowered to play a larger role in driving innovation and program development within FSM.
This consolidation event marks the beginning of a series of alumni activities culminating in the Grand Alumni Gathering in October 2025 at the FSM UNDIP campus in Tembalang, Semarang. The event will feature reunions, inspiring talk shows, and community activities with the FSM family. It is expected to strengthen alumni ties and broaden opportunities for collaboration toward shared advancement.
