FGD for Special Report of the International Cultural Program at Hasanuddin University

The International Office (IO), Hasanuddin University (UNHAS), recently held a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to draft the special report of the 8th International Cultural Program (ICP). As is known, the ICP took place from late July to early August 2025 and was participated in by 55 students from 25 countries worldwide. The FGD took place at the UNHAS Secretary Meeting Room, Rectorate Building, 5th Floor, on Monday, 25 August 2025.

The FGD was led by Dr. Andi Masyitha Irwan, Head of IO, who is fondly known as Ms. Citha. Attended by the entire IO team, including task forces and administrative staff, the discussion aimed to complete and refine the special report. According to Dr. Masyitha, this report will serve as a platform for students to submit their activities, which in turn can be recognised as academic credits.

In his remarks, UNHAS Secretary Prof. Sumbangan Baja, M.Phil., expressed his appreciation for the success of this year’s ICP, noting that it reflects the smooth implementation of UNHAS’ internationalization programs. He also emphasized the importance of disseminating IO activities widely through the university’s official website and promptly instructed the web management team to facilitate IO staff in publishing their updates online.

The FGD concluded with participants finalizing their respective sections of the report. This step marked the closing phas e of the 8th ICP, ensuring that the outcomes of the flagship program will be well-documented and beneficial for both the students and the university’s internationalization agenda.
