Yogyakarta, March 6, 2026─The Social Development and Welfare (PSdK) Undergraduate Program at Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM) conducted its LAMSPAK Field Accreditation Assessment on Friday (5/3). Hosted at the FISIPOL UGM Dean’s Meeting Room and continuing at the PSdK Department, the assessment brought together a comprehensive assembly of assessors, faculty leadership, department heads, quality assurance units, and a broad spectrum of stakeholders, including students, alumni, and employers.
The Dean of FISIPOL UGM, Dr. Wawan Mas’udi, officially inaugurated the proceedings. In his opening remarks, Wawan underscored the assessment as a pivotal moment for both strategic mapping and governance evaluation. “This is an effort to showcase the program’s core strengths. Should there be any administrative refinements needed during this process, they will be addressed accordingly,” Wawan stated. He further noted that insights gained from previous assessments have been instrumental in fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement. As the sixth program within the faculty to undergo this process, PSdK’s assessment is expected to yield benchmark-setting results.
In a parallel sentiment, the assessor team emphasized that the agenda transcends a mere audit, serving instead as a vital dialogic platform. This engagement allows assessors to gain firsthand insights into the experiences of program managers regarding governance and the robust quality assurance systems within the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences at UGM.
Following the opening ceremony, the agenda shifted to a profile presentation by the Program Management Unit (UPPS) and the finalization of the Final Evaluation Document (FED) for quantitative benchmarking. Subsequently, the Internal Quality Assurance team conducted a thorough verification of the SPMI (Internal Quality Assurance System) cycle covering planning, implementation, evaluation, control, and improvement (PPEPP) while auditing all standard documentation and periodic reports.
The session continued with a series of dialogues involving students, faculty, and administrative staff to assess the real-world impact of the “Tridarma Perguruan Tinggi” (the Three Pillars of Higher Education) within the PSdK environment. Simultaneously, the assessors engaged with alumni and external users to capture critical feedback and industry aspirations.
The event concluded with the formal signing of the Field Assessment Minutes. This entire process stands as a testament to the PSdK Undergraduate Program’s unwavering dedication to upholding educational standards and ensuring the delivery of inclusive, high-caliber higher education.
