Apart from the best graduate award, there is also an award for disciplined graduates which according to Beta is in accordance with the characteristics of Polytechnic education, namely prioritizing the disciplinary aspect. Therefore, at every graduation ceremony at Polines, disciplined graduates are also selected, which at this graduation ceremony was Aissya Embun Setyasih from the Diploma III Informatics Engineering Study Program with a GPA of 3.98.
"What is meant by disciplined graduates are graduates who have the fewest absences and no elements of negligence and obtain the highest GPA among those with the fewest absences during the study period," he added.
Chair of the 52nd Polines Graduation Committee, Endro Warsito, explained that this year's graduation activities were divided into two sessions, namely the morning session and the afternoon session. This is due to the limited capacity of the room which can only accommodate 1900 people.
"Moreover, we invited parents of graduates, invited guests and homeroom teachers," he explained.
Endro further explained that preparations for the 52nd graduation ceremony took around 1.5 months because the arrangements had started in August. Even though there were several obstacles faced, he said that there were no significant problems.
"I hope that graduates can immediately work, take part in society well, and contribute their knowledge and be an example for their younger siblings. "Apart from that, if you have achieved success, don't forget your alma mater," he concluded.
