In an effort to mentor students to become individuals who adhere to rules, are creative, innovative, objective, and cooperative in developing intellectual diversity, the Directorate of Learning and Student Affairs has implemented the Student Creativity Program (PKM) 2024 and completed the evaluation of the PKM 2024 proposals.

Amidst the increasingly tight competition in the Student Creativity Program and more selective government budgeting for programs supporting the Main Performance Indicators (IKU), particularly the percentage of undergraduate students achieving at least national-level accomplishments, we proudly congratulate the students of the Digital Business Program at Makassar State University.

The team, consisting of Andi Balqis Mutiara Asizah, Maura Sabrina Taufiq, Ibnu Ammar Al-Resky, Muhammad Syarif, and Lindasari, successfully secured national-level PKM funding. They were selected from among 3,520 PKM proposals submitted nationally in 2024.

The flagship innovation from Makassar State University is Kolasejar (Collaborative School for History Care), mentored and guided directly by Digital Business lecturer, Dr. Valentino Aris, S.Kom., MM., and Syamsu Alam, S.Si., M.Si. as the Head of the Digital Business Study Program. This innovation aims to provide the widest accessibility for visually impaired children to learn history, especially history related to Makassar City. To realize this goal, the Kolasejar team is developing a History Book equipped with an Audiobook Feature.

This good news is a source of pride for the Faculty of Economics and Business at Makassar State University. Hopefully, this achievement can inspire other students in the Faculty of Economics and Business to remain enthusiastic, optimistic, and strive to develop and hone their abilities.
