Dew also got an almost perfect GPA of 3.98.
Chair of the 52nd Polines Graduation Committee, Endro Warsito, explained that in the student graduation ceremony at the Semarang State Polytechnic, there were two award categories for students, namely best graduates and disciplined graduates.
"The best graduates are taken from each study program, who meet several criteria, namely the highest GPA in their study program, cum laude, and the study period does not exceed the time determined according to the level of education," he explained when interviewed.
Meanwhile, the title of a disciplined graduate is a graduate who has the fewest number of absences, and has no elements of neglect, and also obtains the highest GPA among those who have the fewest absences. This year, Aissya Embun Setyasih received the title of disciplined graduate with 0 excuses, 0 illnesses, and zero permits. The GPA he obtained also reached 3.98.

Since he first entered the Semarang State Polytechnic, Embun also admitted that he had no ambition and did not even know that there was an award like this for graduates. The graduate from Sragen also said that she did not expect that at the end of her study period, her GPA would almost reach a perfect mark.
"In fact, for me personally, I prefer just studying (to achieve that GPA), because there are subjects that I think are difficult, there are subjects that I think are easy. "Actually, I didn't expect to get a score like that, but I'm still grateful to get a good score," he said.
Even though he has demonstrated his excellence with an almost perfect GPA, Embun admits that he does not only focus on education, but also continues to participate in activities outside of his studies.
"At the Semarang State Polytechnic, you are also expected to have organizational skills. Coincidentally, I joined a regional organization (Orda), being general treasurer at that time. "So even though lectures are being carried out, organizational (activities) are still ongoing," he explained.
During his studies, Embun also admitted to taking part in several programs internship. He said that in the fourth semester he took part in the Merdeka Campus activities and also the Polines internship program in the fifth semester. Embun admitted that his study period at the Semarang State Polytechnic was very exciting because the environment was also supportive.
“Studying at Polines is very exciting, there are many and great friendshumble and also good with all of us. Apart from that, the lecturers are also very good support to students," he added.
This graduate, who was born in 2002, hopes that after officially graduating from the Semarang State Polytechnic, she can first work in the company she wants. However, if there is an opportunity to pursue further education, Embun also admits that he will not waste it.
"Message to all friends and juniors, follow everything that is done well and with the best, because it is also for your own (good)," he concluded.
Sri Sumarsih as Embun's mother admitted that she was equally surprised and proud of the achievements of her second and last child.
