Cecilia encouraged students to start developing a vision for the direction they want to pursue. According to her, envisioning the position they hope to achieve in the next few years can help students determine the experiences and steps they need to build throughout their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIt is important to have a vision. Try to imagine where you want to be five years from now. From there, we can start determining the steps and experiences we need to pursue during university,\u201d said Cecilia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Cecilia also highlighted the significant impact that organizational activities and competitions had on her career journey. In addition to gaining valuable experience, these activities helped her build a network of connections that remained valuable even after entering the professional world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, Bianca emphasized that students should not feel left behind if they have not yet gained extensive experience. According to her, university is an opportunity to try various activities until they find a field that aligns with their interests and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid or feel left behind. University is actually the right time to explore different things until we find what we truly enjoy,\u201d said Bianca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Bianca\u2019s experience demonstrates that career paths do not always follow a linear trajectory aligned with one\u2019s field of study. Her interest in Human Resources began to grow while she was actively involved in activities related to human resource development during her university years. Her organizational experience also helped her develop soft skill<\/em>, hard skill<\/em>, and the ability to navigate various situations, which later proved valuable in the professional world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Kyla encouraged students to seize various opportunities during their university years. According to her, experiences through internships, student exchange programs, organizations, and other activities can broaden their perspectives while helping them identify the fields that best suit their interests and abilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe more opportunities we take, the more experience we gain. Through these experiences, we can better understand ourselves and identify the fields that are the best fit for us,\u201d said Kyla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The three alumni have pursued different career paths. Cecilia currently works in the fields of geophysics and oil and gas, including involvement in analytical processes to determine drilling locations. Bianca has built her career in Human Resources at Nestl\u00e9, while Kyla has pursued a career in consulting as an Analyst at Deloitte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These different career journeys demonstrate that career choices can be shaped by experiences gained during university. Therefore, students are encouraged not to limit themselves too quickly to a single field and to make the most of their time at university by exploring various opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During the session, the three alumni also shared their perspectives on the importance of internship experience. They encouraged students not to hesitate to apply and not to wait until they feel they have sufficient experience. A first internship does not necessarily have to be at a large company; rather, it can serve as an opportunity to learn and gain an understanding of the professional world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kyla specifically encouraged students to gain more internship experience and participate in student exchange programs. According to her, these experiences can provide new perspectives on the world beyond university while also expanding their professional networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to career development, the use of artificial intelligence<\/em> was also one of the topics discussed. Kyla reminded students to use such technology wisely and not to rely on it as a substitute for critical thinking skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAI can be used as a supporting tool, but it should never prevent us from thinking for ourselves. Use AI wisely and continue to understand the processes behind the work we do,\u201d said Kyla.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bianca added that the development of AI is inevitable, so students need to learn how to use it appropriately. According to her, students should continue conducting their own research and not immediately accept all the information provided by AI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Meanwhile, Cecilia emphasized the importance of taking responsibility for the work carried out, even when using AI as a supporting tool. Users must still understand the work and be able to take responsibility for the results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to the alumni talk show, the second day of PSAF featured a session on the academic system and coursework for regular students, delivered by FMIPA UI Education Manager Dr. Fevi Novkaniza, S.Si., M.Si. The session provided students with an understanding of the academic processes they will go through throughout their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Information on the academic system for the International Class Program (KKI) was presented by Gamal Gymnastyar, S.Si., a staff member of the FMIPA UI KKI Unit. Students gained an overview of the learning system and academic services available through the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n The series of activities also included the creation of vertical garden<\/em> with Rumah Peduli Iklim (RUMPI). The activity encouraged new students to participate in greening and beautifying the campus area while fostering environmental awareness through simple and creative activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New students then took part in the MIPA Safari to become more familiar with the FMIPA UI environment and facilities that will be part of their daily lives throughout their university studies. The activity helped students understand the various spaces and facilities available within the faculty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, the creative mentoring session provided a space for students to interact, develop ideas, and explore their potential beyond academic activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The 2026 PSAF series began with a welcome ceremony for new students by the FMIPA UI leadership. Dean of FMIPA UI, Prof. Dr. Tito Latif Indra, M.Si., referred to the new students as \u201cyoung knights\u201d and \u201cPioneers of National Science,\u201d reminding them that being admitted to FMIPA UI marks the beginning of a journey to develop their ways of thinking, learning, and addressing various challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Depok, 18 Agustus 2026 \u2014 Rangkaian Pengenalan Sistem Akademik Fakultas (PSAF) 2026 Fakultas Matematika dan Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam Universitas Indonesia (FMIPA UI) memasuki hari kedua dengan membekali mahasiswa baru wawasan mengenai kehidupan akademik, pengembangan diri, dan kesiapan menghadapi dunia kerja.
