Master of Professional Psychology Study Program, Faculty of Psychology (FPsi) Untar, inaugurated new psychologists at the 34th Class of Psychologist Inauguration, Wednesday (17/5) at the Auditorium Campus I Untar.

The inauguration this time inaugurated 16 new psychologists.

One of the inaugurated psychologists, Marcela Felisia Anatasya Poluan shared her experience while practicing at Putra Utama Social Home 1 and 4, West Jakarta. Marsela admitted that her heart was touched to continue working for children in the field of psychology.

This new psychologist from Manado wants to bring her experience of working and studying at Untar back to Manado. Marcela hopes she can help and give back to the people, children, and communities that raised her in her homeland.

Marcela’s study journey at Untar began with the recommendation of her seniors. She said that she was happy to be able to go to Jakarta to continue her master’s studies and to make new supportive friends at Untar until the inauguration period.
