ORIENTATION DEGREE AND INTRODUCTION OF NEW STUDENTS: INDONESIAN LITERATURE STUDENT ASSOCIATION HOLD POSSI 2023 AT MARGARANA

`

The third series of events POSSI (Pengenalan Objek Studi Sastra Indonesia) 2023 was carried out, on Saturday, 18 February 2023 at the Margarana Perjuangan Monument, Tabanan. The activity which took the theme “Duckling Rice” or “Literary and Linguistic Surgery” was attended by all Indonesian Literature class 2022 students and lecturers and families of the Indonesian Literature study program. Also attending this activity was the coordinator of the Indonesian Literature study program, namely Dr. I Gusti Ayu Agung Mas Triadnyani, S.S., M.Hum. The Possi activity this time was filled with several activities such as the introduction of lecturers, the presentation of material related to literature and linguistics, the introduction of Indonesian Literature student associations, the opening of horizon theater, and closed of fun games.

           Dr. I Gusti Ayu Agung Mas Triadnyani, S.S., M.Hum as the study program coordinator really appreciated this activity. He said implementing POSSI could strengthen the relationship between new students and lecturers in the Indonesian Literature study program. POSSI activities are routine activities that are carried out almost every year in order to strengthen friendship ties between new students and lecturers. Maybe there are younger students who do not know the lecturers even though one semester has passed. This is where later, younger students can get to know each other better with the lecturers. On this occasion also, younger students can meet face to face and mingle with seniors, said Bu Mas in her speech. Maybe only casually meeting on campus or in the classroom, here you can meet face to face, and chat directly with your seniors. So use this time as best as possible, later the lecturer/mother will be given the opportunity to introduce himself and what courses are being taught so that younger students can ask questions. I think that's all the welcome from me. Hopefully, this POSSI activity can run in an orderly and smooth manner, "he continued.

Not to forget, he thanked the POSSI committee, lecturers, and students who attended this activity. At the end of his remarks, he expressed his hope that POSSI activities could run in an orderly and smooth manner and that this introductory activity would be helpful for future students. He hoped that students and lecturers of the Indonesian Literature Study Program would become more intimate. The speech was continued by the Chairman of the Indonesian Literature Study Program Association, Given. Given in his remarks explained his hopes for Indonesian Literature students as stated in the 2023 Himasindo Cabinet Vision, namely "Creating adaptive, quality and credible Indonesian Literature student resources based on the principle of kinship". Given hope that the Indonesian Literature Study Program can become a forum for his students.

 

INTRODUCTION

In this session, new students from batch 2022 were introduced to what "duck rice" is. Duck rice is an activity that aims to introduce Indonesian Literature lecturers' families as well as an introduction to the fields of literature and linguistics to new students. This activity is the first time it has been held outside of campus, after the co-19 pandemic. The lecturers did a self-introduction in front of all POSSI participants. From this self-introduction, it is hoped that new students will know who and what courses are taught by Indonesian Literature lecturers. In addition to the lecturer's introduction, there was also an introduction to the Indonesian Literature student association. It was explained that there are five divisions in the Indonesian Literature Student Association, namely, the division of research, kinship, interest in talent and works of art, communication, information, and sports.
