Students as agents of social change should have a competitive spirit and manifest it through academic or non-academic means. However, having a competitive spirit is not enough, as students should also be sensitive to their surroundings and able to identify social problems comprehensively. Founding a startup company that focuses on solving social problems shows an improvement in the mindset of the students.
‘Lomba Mahasiswa’ is a startup company founded by three students from the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIPOL) Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM); Muhammad Rilo Nugroho, Adhika Trisliantama and Fathin Difa Robbani. This startup company was founded to synergize the two aspects mentioned earlier. Lomba Mahasiswa held the Srawung Mahasiswa #1 (Student Gathering #1) Talkshow in the Digilib Cafe of Fisipol UGM on the 30th of November, from 3.30 p.m. until 5.30 p.m.. This talk show invited three speakers, in which all were individuals that are active in the field of startup companies. The guest speakers were Marizal Fanani from the Faculty of Agricultural Technology of UGM Batch 2015, Kintansari Adhyna Putri from the Department of Public Policy and Management of FISIPOL UGM Batch 2017 and Muhammad Rilo Nugroho from the Department of Politics and Government of FISIPOL UGM Batch 2017.
This Srawung Mahasiswa Talkshow is the first edition of Srawung Mahasiswa Talkshow held by Lomba Mahasiswa.
