The Faculty of Agriculture, Universitas Gadjah Mada (Faperta UGM), held an ASIIN Reaccreditation Coordination Meeting on Thursday, April 9, 2026, at the Dean’s Meeting Room, Building A1, 2nd floor. The main agenda was the transfer of materials from previous department and study program administrators to the newly appointed ones.
The meeting was attended by the leadership of the Faculty of Agriculture, including Dr. Dyah Weny Respatie, S.P., M.Si., Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs, and Dr. R.A. Siti Ari Budhiyanti, S.T.P., M.P., Vice Dean for Finance, Assets, and Human Resources. Representatives from the Undergraduate Programs in Plant Protection (HPT), Agricultural Extension and Communication (PKP), Fishery Product Technology (THP), the Quality Assurance Unit, and the Head of the Media and Information Systems Unit were also present.
In her remarks, the Vice Dean for Academic and Student Affairs emphasized the importance of a comprehensive evaluation by the quality assurance team. “The quality assurance team needs to present our current condition. Hopefully, this will be more comprehensive than the previous ASIIN submission, considering we are also part of the Self-Assessment Report (SAR) team with the Faculty of Forestry. Synergy among the three programs (HPT, PKP, and THP) is crucial since undergraduate programs in Faperta share the same structure. Ensure curriculum alignment and highlight the vision and mission we aim to achieve,” she stated.
Meanwhile, the Vice Dean for Finance, Assets, and Human Resources highlighted the crucial role of department secretaries in the reaccreditation process. “The role of department secretaries was quite significant in the previous batch. Hopefully, in this batch, the department secretariat can be included, for example in facilities or infrastructure,” she noted.
During the meeting, Dr. Firdausi Nur Azizah, S.P., Head of the Quality Assurance Unit, stressed the importance of improving team performance. She conveyed that this reaccreditation team must work better than the previous one and called on all participants to build strong collaboration to ensure the ASIIN reaccreditation process runs comprehensively and achieves optimal results.
This initiative is part of Faperta UGM’s strategic efforts to maintain academic quality and strengthen its international standing through ASIIN accreditation. With cross-department and study program coordination, the reaccreditation process is expected to run smoothly and produce higher quality standards.
Through this coordination meeting, the Faculty of Agriculture is optimistic about reinforcing its international reputation while supporting the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 4: Quality Education, SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth, SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure, SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities, SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, and SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals.
