PEMBEKALAN KULIAH KERJA VETERINER XXXVI
On Saturday, January 6, 2024, as part of the community service program of the Executive Board of Students (BEM) in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Udayana University, an event was organised - the 36th Veterinary Work Lecture (KKV XXXVI). The theme chosen for KKV XXXVI is "Bimantara Abhipraya Gana Siddhi," signifying the extraordinary souls with strong aspirations and desires to achieve their goals.
The purpose of conducting the KKV event is to provide an initial introduction to the veterinary profession for new students, aiming to cultivate a love for the veterinary profession and strengthen unity and a sense of belonging among fellow students of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Udayana University. It also seeks to foster a sense of camaraderie among students, faculty, and the community, building a familial bond. The activities are expected to enhance communication and interaction skills with the public, offering education on animal health and introducing the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine to the broader community.
The KKV XXXVI activities commenced at 07:00 WITA, kicking off with an organisation agenda that included checking attire, personal belongings, and singing mandatory songs guided by I Made Sandy Widhi Raharja, the coordinator of equipment
division, and Ni Komang Dyah Purnamasari, the coordinator of event division. Following this, all participants were directed to enter the main event hall in an orderly manner.
The official proceedings began with the opening ceremony, guided by Ni Made Rani Widya Sari as the Master of Ceremony. It commenced with a prayer read by Rai Laras Anandita Santi, followed by the singing of the Indonesian national anthem and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine anthem led by Manuella Waya Salangka. Subsequently, the Chairman of the Committee, Bendesa Dwi Kartika Ganggeswara, presented the Committee's Report, followed by a speech from the Chairman of the Student Executive Board (BEM), Alvin Limanto. Dr. Drh. I Wayan Sudira, M.Sc., then delivered a symbolic speech and officially opened the event.
"Though it's a new experience for the students of 2023, make sure this experience does not affect any of you in a harmful way. Adapt to the field you're entering, learn how to communicate with the locals. Remember to work on the output (PKM) as the result from this KKV activity. Don't venture alone without the guidance of professors and mentors, and hopefully, this activity will have a positive impact on the new students. Let's ensure that well-planned activities do not yield adverse effects," expressed Dr. Drh. I Wayan Sudira, M.Sc., as the Vice Dean III of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at Udayana University during the opening of the KKV XXXVI event.
The first session of the material commenced with a talk show on PKM, presented by David Christopher Tjandra and I Made Ananda Swarna Nugraha, moderated by Femilia Triayu Mahottami. The second material session proceeded with a ministerial discussion on Communication Strategies and Community Education, presented by Drh. I Made Mahaputra, S.KH, moderated by Marsha Theodora. The third material session continued with an interactive talk show featuring Village Figures discussing the Potential of Tiga Village, Susut, Bangli. The orientation activities for KKV XXXVI concluded with information on the peak day and the distribution of participant logistics.
"All the provided materials were highly informative, and the proceedings went smoothly in a serious atmosphere. Hopefully, in the future, when discussing assignments, attire, SOPs, or other matters, the pace can be a bit slower," expressed Ni Made Apsana Swerni Puja from Group 4 “Warmblood Horse” as a participant in the KKV XXXVI event.
