`

    The introduction of the object of Indonesian Literature Studies abbreviated as POSSI is a routine activity held every year by the Indonesian Literature Study Program. This activity aims to introduce the scope of Indonesian literature more deeply to new students. This year, POSSI raised the theme "The Existence of Indonesian Literature Students as a Tomb of Creativity in Work". This activity was attended by 63 participants consisting of 57 people in 2023, 5 people in 2022, and 1 class in 2020. POSSI 2024 was held in three series of events at the Faculty of Cultural Sciences Denpasar, and Puncak Bedugul Agro.

    The first series of events was the first meeting of POSSI 2024 participants held on Monday, January 22, 2024, online through the Zoom Meeting application. At this event, an introduction to POSSI was introduced, including exposure to participant rules, information about the cost of participant contributions, and an explanation of the participant's assignment provisions.

    The second series of events was a technical meeting of 2024 POSSI participants held on Tuesday, February 6, 2024, in a luring at Widya Sabha Mandala Auditorium, Faculty of Cultural Sciences Denpasar. This series of events is focused on checking the completeness of the attributes and rules of the participants.

Third, post two or post jargon, participants are asked to make a jargon based on the array of the poetry they found. Finally, Post three, or yells, participants are asked to display the group yells they have prepared. The event continued with a linguistic and literary session sharing presented by Indonesian literature lecturers, the introduction of the Cakrawala Theater, an Introduction to Himasindo, and an Introduction to Literature Week.

The event on the second day at the top of the 2024 POSSI event was gymnastics with the committee and participants, planting, and the closure of POSSI 2024.

    In contrast to the previous year's POSSI, POSSI 2024 was held with the aim of more time to get to know each other, both between participants, participants, and the committee, as well as participants with the lecturer. The implementation of this POSSI is expected to strengthen solidarity and improve the ability to cooperate and get to know each other. The messages and impressions given by Yoga as the Chairperson of the 2024 POSSI Committee are "POSSI 2024 Very exciting and fun even outside of my expectations. Many laughter jokes accompany the preparation process for this event. Seeing the participants having fun with their friends during the activity was one of my appreciation for myself. Being the Chairperson of POSSI 2024 is an experience that I will never forget. My hope, hopefully the next POSSI activities can develop better and produce better outputs too. "

    Thus, POSSI 2024 is expected to be a forum for Indonesian literature students to further explore the scope of Indonesian literature, both in academic and non-academic aspects. The 2024 POSSI implementation is also expected to be a bridge for new students to determine the direction of their development while studying in the Indonesian Literature Study Program.
