To prepare for IISMA 2024, Student Affairs plans to hold preparations starting in September 2023 and at the welcoming of new students later. “Hopefully we can be provided with an introductory material session about IISMA so that UNHAS students can prepare themselves as early as possible,” said Prof. Ruslin.
