Furthermore, these 54 people were also documented through the publication of a book entitled Profil Doktor Baru (New Doctoral Profiles). This is also a representation of the success of the UNS HR development program.

 “The most serious challenge in developing UNS is improving the quality of human resources. This is why the first pillar that I uphold in building UNS is the professionalism and welfare of human resources. UNS’s investment in lecturers and educational staff (tendik) is the most appropriate strategy to ensure our excellence in the future,” Prof. Jamal added.
