“UAD berkembang sangat cepat dan bisa lihat dari Teknologi Informatika (TI) yang keren dan sesuai standar. Gedung juga keren, ada lift dan eskalatornya,” kata Elisha Orkarus Allaso saat ditemui (9-01-2019).

Menurut sinden lulusan Pedalangan ISI Yogyakarta sekaligus lulusan Magister Psikologi tersebut, Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) gerakannya cepat. Selain gedung, program studi yang ada semakin banyak.

Saat mengadakan acara wayang kemarin, gerakan panitian UAD sangat cepat. Dalam waktu yang singkat, publikasi dan persiapan yang lain terealisasi dengan baik. “Dari semua pengalaman saya nyinden di acara wayang di luar, UAD sangat serius dalam menjalankan kegiatan.”

Elisha berharap, UAD bisa menjadi perguruan tinggi yang menjaga budaya. Seperti tema yang diusung pada Milad ke 58 UAD ini, “Membangun Identitas Bangsa dan Budaya Indonesia yang Berkemajuan”.

“Meski UAD berkembang dari sisi jurusan dan gedung, perguruan tinggi yang berada di bawah naungan Muhammadiyah ini juga mengembangkan budaya. Apalagi K.H. Ahmad Dahlan pendiri Muhammadiyah juga melestarikan dan mengembangkan budaya,” kata gadis yang mengaku ikut Seno sejak 2016 ini.

“Budaya adalah harta kita. Karena itu, penting untuk dilestarikan,” tukasnya.

Elisha menjadi sinden bintang tamu saat UAD mengadakan pagelaran wayang kulit dengan dalang Ki Dalang Seno Nugroho untuk memeringati Milad UAD ke-58 di kampus utama Jln. Lingkar Selatan, Tamanan, Bantul.

Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD) Yogyakarta, mengadakan pagelaran wayang kulit semalam suntuk dengan lakon “Amarta Binangun”, Sabtu (5–1–2019). Acara yang digelar di kampus utama UAD, Jln. Lingkar Selatan, Tamanan, Bantul, dihadiri ribuan penonton. Pagelaran wayang kulit oleh Ki Dalang Seno Nugroho ini untuk memeringati Milad UAD ke-58.

Rektor UAD, Dr. Kasiyarno, M.Hum. mengatakan, pertunjukan wayang kulit semalam suntuk ini untuk melestarikan apa yang diajarkan K.H. Ahmad Dahlan. “UAD terbuka dengan seni dan budaya, sebagai salah satu bentuk pelestarian kebudayaan. Selain itu, sebagai salah satu bentuk pelestarian kebudayaan, acara-acara di UAD saat ini membiasakan diawali dengan tari-tarian.”

“Terkait wayang kulit, sebagai salah satu warisan kebudayaan yang digunakan untuk media dakwah Islam di masanya, jangan sampai dicuri atau diklaim oleh negara lain,” lanjutnya.

Selain sebagai hiburan untuk sivitas UAD dan masyarakat, pagelaran wayang kulit ini juga menjadi sarana edukasi bagi mahasiswa. Sehingga para mahasiswa dapat mencintai budaya sendiri. Pada kesempatan ini, puluhan mahasiswa asing UAD juga terlihat antusias dalam menonton pagelaran wayang kulit ini.

Lakon “Amarto Binangun”, dijelaskan Kasiyarno, dalam cerita, Amarta selalu direcoki, dizalimi, dimusuhi oleh Kurawa. Mengetahui hal tersebut, Maswopati merasa kasihan pada Pandawa. Oleh karenanya Pandawa diberi hutan, yang ternyata hutan itu penuh dengan jin. Bahkan bisa dikatakan sebagai kerajaan jin.

“Pelajaran yang bisa diambil dari lakon ini, untuk meraih sesuatu kebahagiaan atau kesuksesan harus melalu perjuangan. Seperti yang diajarkan di UAD, kami memiliki spirit 8-As. Kerja keras, kerja tuntas, kerja ikhlas, dan kerja cerdas, mumtas, kualitas, sinergitas, dan membangun trust,” tandasnya.

Kali ini, kata Kasiyarno, UAD sengaja memilih Seno Nugroho sebagai dalanya. Sebab Seno Nugroho merupakan dalang populer. “Kemarin kami memanfaatkan dalang ‘dalam negeri’ mahasiswa kita, tidak ada penonton. Padahal ini untuk memopulerkan mahasiswa sendiri, tetapi tidak ada penonton,” katanya sambil menambahkan tradisi wayangan sudah dilakukan sejak Kasiyarno menjadi rektor tahun 2007. (ard)

On Sunday (9-12-2018), Budi Mulia Dua held an activity entitled "BMD FEST 2018 PASTA COOKING COMPETITION" at VHS Budi Mulia Dua at Jalan Raya Tajem km. 3, Wedomartani, Ngemplak, Sleman. Starting from their initiative to take part in the competition, Maretta and Krisna tried to convey their intentions and asked permission from the lecturers of Food Service Business (Bisma) Study Program. After getting permission and support from the university, the two students planned the concept that they would use in the competition later. Bisma sent three teams. The first team consisted of Maretta and Krisna, the second one with Heni and Putri, and the third team with Anisa and Isma.

 

The requirements that need to be fulfilled in order to take part in BMD FEST 2018 PASTA COOKING COMPETITION include the team must consist of two people, choose one type of pasta (fettuccini, fusilli, spaghetti, or lasagna), make two servings of processed pasta with no required technique and at a cost of IDR 40,000.00 for two portions, make a menu and recipe to be submitted to the committee, and is only provided 45 minutes to process the pasta and the clear up (cleaning the work table, processing equipment, sink and preparing the display plate).

The menu made by the first team was "Fusilli Pasta with Kallio Sauce", the second team made "Fettuccini Matcabor" which was a combination of Carbonara sauce with sambal matah, while the third team made "Fettuccini Bolognese". They were very excited to take part in the competition and really had the expectation that someone would win the competition as a representative of Bisma.

 

PASTA COOKING COMPETITION is divided into two sessions, the first session at 09.15 WIB and the second session at 10.00 WIB. Bisma team got their turn in the second session, so their turn was finished at 10:45 WIB. It felt like the time went very fast when the competition took place. It is because in the duration of 45 minutes, the cooking concept had to be finished, including the clear up. Alhamdulillah, Bisma team can finish on time, even the first team can finish their cooking before the jury reminded the remaining 15 minutes time that was left. The announcement of the champion of the competition was carried out after Zuhur prayer.

 

Alhamdulillahirabbil’alamiin, Allah Swt. Granted our prayer. Bisma students managed to be the second place winner. The achievement was made by the first team. The results, indeed, will not betray the process. The process started from when the students took initiative to participate in the competition, then prepared everything, practiced cooking before the competition, seriously participated in the race, and finally produced a very satisfying result that made us all proud.

Final Project Exhibition (FiPEx) of 2018 successfully attracted the enthusiasm of students and the general public at Universitas Ahmad Dahlan (UAD). FiPEx of 2018 is an event aimed for exhibiting the work of students of Information System Study Program of UAD in the form of product applications, prototypes, and posters. These works are the result of projects in several courses to be exhibited in FiPEx.

"We are trying out a project-based learning process to trigger students’ new ideas and it turned out the results were very satisfying. There were lots of fresh ideas that emerged and had the potential to turn into startups," said Farid Suryanto, M.T., as a lecturer at Information System Study Program of UAD.

The exhibition which was held from Friday, December 28^th to Saturday, December 29^th 2018 was attended by Dr. Muchlas, M.T., as Vice Rector 1. "All competencies needed in the industrial era of 4.0 can be found in FiPEx of 2018," he said in the opening session of the exhibition. Furthermore, he said that activities like FiPEx needed to be initiated in other study programs at UAD so that fresh ideas from the millennial generation could emerge.

In line with Muchlas, Imam Azhari, as the Dean of FMIPA UAD, also said that project-based learning was the answer to challenges in the industrial era of 4.0. "I see the ideas displayed in this 2018 FiPEx worth producing for commercial needs. I also see that in the next two or three years, the ideas displayed here will become startups that will compete in the industry."

At the opening session of the 2018 FiPEx, Dr. Dedi Pramono, as the Head of Bureau of Student and Alumni Affairs (Bimawa) of UAD said, "the ideas exhibited here are great. They should be followed up," he said while attending the exhibition stands and trying out web-based game applications that were controlled by body gestures captured by a camera.

The Head of UAD PKM Center, Dr. Endang Darmawan, seemed very enthusiastic when trying out the Virus Shooter application that used Augmented Reality (AR) technology in one of the exhibition stands. In fact, he also had the opportunity to give appreciation Virus Shooter, a work by Muhammad Luthfiansyah, a third semester student of UAD Information System Study Program, by pinning a gold star. In this 2018 FiPEx, the gold star is the highest appreciation that will determine the final grade of students in related subjects.

There was also a talk show in the exhibition held at campus 4 of UAD that presented one of the Google Student Ambassadors for Yogyakarta region, Niken Wulandari. Niken, who is also a student of UAD Information System, shared her experiences at the Google conference held in Bali in 2017 and in Bangalore, India in November 2018.

"We deliberately presented Niken to inspire students to be more proactive to take the opportunity in networking with communities outside campus," said Hudzaifah Saiful Haq from the event division of 2018 FiPEx.

Farrizal Alchudri as the head of the committee added that there were 90 works exhibited in FiPEx of 2018. Furthermore, Farrizal said, "They have worked optimally of one semester to prepare their works and the technical implementation of the event and it turned out that it received big appreciation from the people."
