38 private universities from LLDIKTI Region XVI (Gorontalo, North Sulawesi, and Central Sulawesi) came to UNPAR on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, to conduct a benchmarking and sharing session between their universities and UNPAR. Held at the UNPAR PPAG Auditorium, this meeting was an opportunity for visiting university officials to get to know UNPAR, as well as to learn from UNPAR’s operations of partnership collaboration and quality assurance. As the Head of LLDIKTI Region XVI Munawir Sadzali Razak S.IP., M.A. said, UNPAR’s 70 years of renowned experience can be an inspiring learning opportunity for their private universities to learn from UNPAR’s overall practices.
