More than a thousand Malikussaleh University students from various faculties attended a public lecture with the Minister of Agrarian and Spatial Planning, Sofyan Djalil, at the ACC Uteunkot Building, Lhokseumawe, Friday (1/3/2019). The students who exceeded the capacity of the building made many participants who did not get seats even outside the building.
Students begin arriving at the Uteunkot ACC Building after Friday prayers. They move neatly to get into the building. Although the number of students exceeded capacity, the situation was very controlled because students entered in an orderly manner.
The public lecture on technology 4.0 was opened by the Unimal Chancellor, Dr. Herman Fithra, who conveyed some of his expectations regarding the development of the Unimal campus in the future. The Chancellor hopes that as the son of Aceh, Sofyan Djalil can help transfer a number of unused state assets to Unimal.
In his presentation, besides conveying the development of 4.0 technology that could be applied in various fields, Sofyan
Djalil also shared his experience while still being a student activist.
Unfortunately, limited time makes the planned discussion from the start not work. After delivering the material, Minister Sofyan Djalil left the ACC Building and continued his trip to Langsa.
Sofyan Djalil promised to help Malikussaleh University in the process of transferring state assets to Unimal's. He also said that the Lecture Card to be rolled out by the Government is a continuation of the Bidikmisi scholarship that has been running so far. "All Indonesian youth must get higher education," says Sofyan Djalil.
Sofyan reminded, even though most Unimal students came from underprivileged groups, he hoped students would not survive the situation. "I am concerned that many families now claim to be poor in order to get hopeful family assistance," he said.
In another part, Sofyan Djalil said that technological advances on the one hand helped humans in various fields. But on the other hand, weak intellectual and spiritual abilities make many humans victims of technology, including swallowing hoax as truth. "Use the cortex to absorb various information," says Djalil.
In addition to delivering material about technology, Sofyan Djalil also provided motivation and shared experiences with students. He shared his experience
The public lecture was attended by more than a thousand students, even though the ACC Building could only accommodate around 600 students. Many students do not get a seat, are forced to cross-legged on the floor and are on the page of the Unimal ACC Building. []
Seribu Mahasiswa Universitas Malikussaleh Hadiri Kuliah Umum Sofyan Djalil
Seribu lebih mahasiswa Universitas Malikussaleh dari berbagai fakultas menghadiri kuliah umum bersama Menteri Agraria dan Tata Ruang, Sofyan Djalil, di Gedung ACC Uteunkot, Lhokseumawe, Jumat (1/3/2019). Jumlah mahasiswa yang melebihi kapasitas gedung membuat peserta banyak yang tidak kebagian kursi bahkan berada di luar gedung.
Mahasiswa mulai berdatangan ke Gedung ACC Uteunkot setelah salat Jumat. Mereka berbarus dengan rapi untuk bisa masuk ke dalam gedung. Meski jumlah mahasiswa melebihi kapasitas, situasi sangat terkendali karena mahasiswa masuk dengan tertib.
Kuliah umum tentang teknologi 4.0 dibuka langsung oleh Rektor Unimal, Dr Herman Fithra, yang menyampaikan beberapa harapannya mengenai perkembangan kampus Unimal ke depan. Rektor berharap selaku putra Aceh, Sofyan Djalil bisa membantu pengalihan sejumlah aset negara yang tidak terpakai untuk Unimal.
Dalam pemaparannya, selain menyampaikan perkembangan teknologi 4.0 yang bisa diaplikasikan dalam berbagai bidang, Sofyan Djalil juga menceritakan pengalamannya ketika masih menjadi aktivis mahasiswa.
Sayangnya, waktu yang terbatas membuat acara diskusi yang direncanakan sejak awal tidak berjalan. Setelah menyampaikan materi, Menteri Sofyan Djalil meninggalkan Gedung ACC dan melanjutkan perjalanan ke Langsa.
Sofyan Djali, berjanji akan membantu Universitas Malikussaleh dalam proses pengalihan aset negara menjadi milik Unimal. Dia juga mengatakan Kartu Kuliah yang akan digulirkan Pemerintah merupakan kelanjutan dari beasiswa bidikmisi yang selama ini sudah berjalan. “Semua anak muda Indonesia harus mendapatkan pendidikan tinggi,” kata Sofyan Djalil.
Sofyan mengingatkan, meski sebagian besar mahasiswa Unimal berasal dari kalangan kurang mampu, dia berharap mahasiswa tidak bertahan dengan situasi tersebut. “Saya prihatin banyak keluarga sekarang mengaku miskin agar mendapatkan bantuan keluarga harapan,” katanya.
Di bagian lain, Sofyan Djalil mengatakan kemajuan teknologi di satu pihak membantu manusia dalam berbagai bidang. Tapi di sisi lain, kemampuan intelektual dan spiritual yang lemah membuat banyak manusia menjadi korban teknologi, termasuk dalam menelan hoaks sebagai kebenaran. “Gunakanlah korteks dalam menyerap berbagai informasi,” katanya.
Selain menyampaikan materi tentang teknologi, Sofyan Djalil juga memberikan motivasi dan berbagi pengalaman dengan mahasiswa. Dia menceritakan pengalamannya
Kuliah umum dihadiri lebih dari seribu mahasiswa, padahal Gedung ACC hanya mampu menampung sekitar 600 mahasiswa. Banyak mahasiswa tidak kebagian tempat duduk, terpaksa bersila di lantai dan berada di halaman Gedung ACC Unimal.[]
