Friday, 15 February 2019, Airlangga Education Expo (AEE) 2019 was successfully opened by Prof. Nasih as Chancellor of Universitas Airlangga . AEE 2019 was held free of charge to the public for 3 consecutive days, namely from 15 - 17 February 2019. Various series of interesting events such as seminars, talk shows, and educational consultations were held at AEE 2019. So it is not surprising that on the first day AEE 2019 was succeeded in attracting the attention of thousands of participants who attended, such as high school/vocational school/equivalent students and even students.

Not only was there a series of interesting events, but there were also exhibitions from 28 booths from all units, faculties and institutions at UNAIR. All booths are ready to present various information and are packaged as attractively as possible. Not infrequently they also highlight the uniqueness and characteristics of their respective units, faculties and institutions.

Packaged very attractively, the Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) booth was able to attract special attention from visitors. No joke, in just 4 hours the FEB booth was able to attract around 150 visitors who came and interacted. Not just exhibitions, students and employees at the FEB booth carried out various activities such as educational consultations, exhibitions of student entrepreneurial products, and holding quizzes with FEB souvenir prizes, which became the most popular sessions for SMA/SMK/equivalent students who came to visit the FEB booth.

Asked about her impression, Nur Aini, a student at SMAN 1 Tuban who was one of the visitors to the FEB booth at AEE 2019, admitted that the FEB booth was the best booth and was able to attract her attention among the other booths.

“I deliberately came to this event, so I could get to know the Faculty of Economics and Business UNAIR. Hey, once I stopped by the FEB booth I was happy because I got a lot of information regarding student affairs, achievements, and also took part in an economics quiz." said Aini, Nur Aini's nickname, who admitted that she wanted to enter the Bachelor of Accounting Study Program, FEB UNAIR.

It is hoped that the 2019 Airlangga Education Expo will be able to meet the needs of the general public, such as information on entry routes, scholarships, student affairs and other matters regarding Universitas Airlangga . 28 booths were provided so that visitors could get to know more about all the units, faculties and institutions within Universitas Airlangga .
