This achievement serves as tangible evidence of Untar’s commitment to producing graduates who are competent, adaptive, and responsive to contemporary societal needs.
In an interview following the announcement of the winners, Nikole Edmonda Yapputro shared a message of encouragement for fellow students. “To my friends in FPsi Untar, don’t hesitate to participate in competitions. Even if you initially lack confidence, these experiences allow us to learn so much and gain invaluable opportunities. Keep up the spirit!” she said.
The event was also supported by lecturers from UNISBA, Universitas Paramadina, and several sponsors, including Dandiah Care, TACO, Apotek Trinanda, and Generasi Sehat Mental (GSM). The enthusiasm and achievement of the FPsi Untar team are expected to inspire other students to continue creating impactful work and actively contribute to the advancement of psychology at both the national and international levels.
