The Faculty of Humanities, Universitas Indonesia (FIB UI) welcomed a visit from Ad Durrah Islamic High School, Medan, which took place in the Auditorium of Building I Toety Heraty Noerhadi on Monday, September 10, 2025. The group, consisting of 24 11th-grade students and 5 accompanying teachers, was warmly welcomed by the FIB UI Manager of Academic Affairs, Rouli Esther, Ph.D., Head of Public Relations and Protocol, Chysanti Arumsari, M.A., as well as Public Relations and Protocol staffs, Mrs. Sunarti and Danang Aryo.
The group was led by the Chairman of the Foundation, Drs. H. Muhammad Rais, M.Pd., M.Si., and the Principal, Irsal Efendi, M.Pd. The accompanying teachers who were also present included M. Chairul Ilham, M.Pd., Juwita Sari, S.Pd., Gr. and Bagus Priono, S.Pd.
This school visit to FIB UI was last conducted in 2023. This year, SMAIT Ad Durrah, which is still considered as a new school, aims to motivate its students to study at UI. By seeing the atmosphere of the UI campus first-hand, it is hoped that the students will be more enthusiastic in achieving their dreams.
On this occasion, the FIB UI Academic Affairs Manager delivered a presentation on the faculty profile and various study programs available. The question and answer session was led by the Head of Public Relations and Protocol and was interactive.
The students showed great enthusiasm by asking various questions, ranging from UI admission requirements and passing grades, the variety of study programs, scholarship opportunities, and topics regarding the challenges faced by students in preserving regional culture. They were also interested in knowing how the UI academic community can bring critical discussions outside the classrooms so that they can be communicated to the wider community.
This visit is expected to be an inspiring experience for the students as they prepare to pursue higher education, particularly at the Universitas Indonesia. (Trans-RMRW)
