New Student Virtual Tour Visits Campus Online through PIKMEN FEB UNAIR 2020
UNAIR NEWS – The COVID-19 pandemic has hampered access for new students from the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR) to enter the FEB building. This very limited access makes new students unable to know for sure how the condition of the Faculty building that they will use in the future will be.
Therefore, the PIKMEN committee took the initiative to make a Virtual Tour so that new students could get to know the facilities in the FEB UNAIR building. PIKMEN (Intellectual and Business Student Togetherness Week) is a campus introduction program for new students of the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) UNAIR.
Andrew Alvaro Harun as the Chair of the PIKMEN Committee said that the Virtual Tour will be held during the Introduction to New Student Campus Life (PKKMB) UNAIR and post-PKKMB periods. The good intention to make the Virtual Tour was supported by all FEB Student Organizations and received support from the Dean of FEB UNAIR.
Andrew, his nickname, hopes that the FEB UNAIR Virtual Tour can develop over time. The development of the virtual tour is expected to be one of the tools that can increase the pride of FEB UNAIR students towards their alma mater.
"High school students throughout Indonesia can also visit online, so that it can increase their interest in becoming FEB UNAIR students," he explained.
The Chairperson of the Student Executive Board (BEM) FEB Saad revealed that new FEB UNAIR students who did not live in the Surabaya area were facilitated by the PIKMEN 2020 committee to view the FEB building online. New students access the Virtual Tour simultaneously to coincide with the FEB campus visit schedule (3/8/2020).
"The group assistant is tasked with providing an overview of the spots in FEB, the function of the facilities and rooms in the FEB building," he said.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely hampered students from going to campus directly. Virtual Tour, he continued, is not only used by new students. Old students who miss their campus can also take advantage of Virtual Tours through the website pikmenfebunair.com.
“Hopefully new FEB UNAIR students can get to know the building and its facilities better. This virtual tour can also be used by high school students who usually visit the FEB UNAIR Building,” concluded Saad.
