The Student Resource Development Department (PSDM) together with the PERMAHAMI Executive Board successfully organized the PERMAHAMI Writing Program 2025 on Sunday, August 31, 2025, from 08.00 to 14.00 WIB. This program was designed as a solution to the challenges faced by students in academic writing, particularly in finding reliable and relevant scientific journals, citing sources properly, and compiling bibliographies according to the Faculty of Agriculture’s thesis writing guidelines.
The event began with an introduction to the department and study program delivered by the Head of Department and the Head of the Microbiology Study Program. It was then followed by a session with invited speakers, covering effective strategies for finding scientific journals, proper citation techniques, the structure of laboratory reports, and the correct way to compile bibliographies in accordance with academic rules.
In addition, participants also benefited from post-material sessions that focused on personal development, including CV writing, organizational or committee experience, scholarship opportunities, competitions, and achievement building. With this comprehensive format, the program not only strengthened students’ academic writing abilities but also equipped them with the necessary soft skills to prepare for future professional careers.
Through this initiative, students are expected to improve the quality of their academic writing, gain greater confidence in their academic journey, and become more competitive at both the national and international levels.
The PERMAHAMI Writing Program 2025 contributes to the achievement of several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including:
- SDG 4 (Quality Education): Enhancing students’ academic literacy and writing skills.
- SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth): Equipping students with career-supporting skills such as CV writing and achievement building.
- SDG 17 (Partnerships for the Goals): Strengthening collaboration between student organizations and academic stakeholders in supporting student resource development.
