A delegation from the Faculty of Law, led by Yonna Aparacitta (2020), won second place at the Student Entrepreneurship Camp (EMC) on Friday (November 24, 2023). The Student Entrepreneurship Camp (EMC) is a program organized by the Directorate General of Hindu Community Guidance of the Ministry of Religious Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia. The EMC event series consists of an administrative selection process, online and offline boot camps, and a grand final, all of which are participated in by individuals with the aim of fostering a spirit of entrepreneurship among Hindu students at universities in Indonesia. This year, 197 students participated in the EMC, with 20 selected participants taking part in the boot camp, followed by the grand final held at the Ministry of Religious Affairs’ Training Center in Ciputat, South Tangerang.
During the bootcamp, participants received training and materials on entrepreneurship, as well as guidance on developing their businesses from experts in the field. The experts serving as coaches for this bootcamp were IPG Mudarsa, Ajik IP Ngurah S, KS Arsana, Nyoman Widya, and Pande KYB. The bootcamp was followed by the grand final.

From the 20 grand finalists, the five best participants were selected to receive 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as 1st and 2nd Runner-Up awards.
