Being a university student is not merely about completing an education and earning a degree. It is also a journey of continuous learning, personal growth, character development, and ultimately, becoming someone who can make a meaningful contribution to others.
This message was delivered by Director of Health Service Assurance (Yankes) at BPJS Kesehatan dr. Abdi Kurniawan Purba, Sp.Ak(K), Subsp.Ak-AA(K), MH.Kes, MKM, AIFO-K, Ph.D., while speaking to new students on the third day of PKKMB Untar 2026, held at Untar Campus I, Jakarta, on Friday (14/8/2026).
In his presentation titled “Navigating University Life: From an Ordinary Student to an Impactful Individual,” Abdi encouraged students to remain consistent, dare to try new things, and not be afraid of mistakes or failure.
He emphasized that the student journey involves a continuous process of starting, learning, growing, and ultimately making an impact. Therefore, students should continue learning, improving themselves, and striving to become individuals who bring value to others.
“Bukan tentang seberapa cepat kita sampai, tetapi tentang menjadi siapa kita setelah perjalanan ini,” pesannya.
