Turning up with us this time to spill more interesting stories from OIA UGM is Astiti Nareswari (Asti) as the Coordinator for Incoming Exchange Program. Kudos!
In the organizational structure, Asti’s position places her under the Mobility Team. Her role is to arrange hospitality matters for the incoming UGM exchange students from abroad. From reviewing their documents to communicating with partner universities, she makes sure that exchange students’ study in UGM are all smooth.
So, basically, does Asti only deal with international students? Well, not really. Aside from dealing with exchange students and communicating with partner universities, she also has to routinely communicate with other faculties in UGM, mainly those who receives exchange students. It’s not always easy, since each semester there’s hundreds of exchange students to be taken care of. However, Asti revealed that the main key to withstand her high demanded job is to set a good timeline, to follow procedure consecutively, and to always be ready.
At the end of the talk, Asti urged for interns currently helping in OIA UGM (and by extension all UGM students) to not be afraid of taking as many opportunities as possible, even ones not related to the major the students are studying now. Work competition is up high and there is no telling what fortune the future holds. Best be prepared and ready for anything!
