Networking Event between HUAA-Indonesia and HU Indonesian Students

On April 12, 2023, a networking event between Hiroshima University Alumni Association Indonesia (HUAA-I) and Hiroshima University Indonesian students was held at the Higashi-Hiroshima Campus. HUAA-Indonesia was established in March 2022 and recognized as a legal entity by the Indonesian government in January 2023, and is a nationwide alumni association that aims to operate on its own membership system from corporate and individual members. (Click here to see the event held in May 2022 to commemorate its establishment.)

Currently, HUAA-I is expanding its network with industry, academia, government and alumni in both countries through projects such as seminars given by alumni active in the Indonesian Government, and is considering new development opportunities. 

As part of such activities, HUAA-I decided to hold a networking event with Hiroshima University’s Indonesian students in conjunction with a visit to Hiroshima by Dr. Sumarsono, General Secretary General of HUAA-I (graduate of the Graduate School of Engineering), to exchange views with companies and organizations in Hiroshima Prefecture.

At the beginning of the meeting, Shinji Kaneko, Executive Vice President (Global Initiatives) addressed the audience. "HUAA-I has the second largest number of students from Indonesia, and the number of alumni exceeds approximately 800. Hiroshima University will do its utmost to support HUAA-I as it continues to take on the challenge of becoming an unprecedented alumni organization. I hope that you will join us in enlivening the activities of HUAA-I," he stated, conveying a strong message to the approximately 30 Indonesian students who gathered for the event.

Dr. Sumarsono, who is active as a young entrepreneur in both Japan and Indonesia, then introduced the activities of HUAA-I and the newly added student membership program. He also conveyed the message ‘Many of your seniors are active on the front lines of Indonesian government and business community. Alumni and current students should join hands together and aim for a better society through the activities of HUAA-I", to which the students applauded.

During the networking session following the discussion with the students, Halal food was served, and the efforts of the PPI-Hiroshima (Indonesian student association in Hiroshima) to support Indonesian high school students were introduced. Overall, it was a very valuable session.
