Tangerang – The New Student Orientation (Orientasi Mahasiswa Baru/OMB) of Multimedia Nusantara University (UMN) held a Briefing Day, also called Pollination Day (Hari Penyerbukan), on Monday (15/08/2022).

Even though it was held online, the Briefing Day was opened with a warm welcome from the highly enthusiastic Darana (Events) division, channelling enthusiasm for prospective new students from all over the archipelago. The activity was continued with an introductory session between the Tiksna/Person in Charge (PIC) division and the participants, followed by thorough instructions on the assignments.

The opening of the Tiksna division session on Google Meet was filled with liveliness from the participants. Moreover, this is the first meeting between the Tiksna division and their groups. Both parties exchange greetings and enthusiasm.

“We have made long preparations with various challenges. I feel relieved and very impressed because I was able to meet the participants for the first time even though it was virtually,” Irene Zantha, one of the representatives from the Tiksna division, said.
