Sleman- UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta held a socialization of information about five faculties. The activity will be held for five days, Monday - Friday, 19-23 October 2020 which will be held online via Youtube account @upnvy. This activity aims that students level XII can get information about each faculty at UPN "Veteran" Yogyakarta. Participants can follow the livestream from 13.30 - 15.00 WIB.

Markus Kusnardidjanto, S, Sos as the Head of the Cooperation and Public Relations Subdivision said that this socialization event is the first time we make it online. The socialization is carried out online because one of the efforts or support of UPN “Veteran” Yogyakarta is to reduce the rate of COVID-19.

"Why did we from the UPNVY promotion team initiate "UPNVY Podcast "? First, because of the current situation that is the Covid-19 pandemic which does not provide flexibility for us to carry out promotions to secondary schools offline. Second, not only high school students level XII can watch this event, but school teachers, and even parents can also join it with the hope that parents can guide their children in choosing study programs. Third, the media "podcast" is expected to reach "young people" in this context the XII graders who like to watch Youtube accounts. Hopefully, this event  can be a guideline for XII grade students at the beginning of the 2020-2021 academic year in order to prepare for lectures in the next academic year," said the Head of Public Relations and Cooperation.

Markus added that the selection of a study program or department is a scourge for grade 12 students of SMA, SMK, and the equivalent. How can it be? Choosing a study program that is not in accordance with the interests of prospective students can give rise to the phenomenon of "wrong choice of major". In order to overcomeit, UPNVY is holding a “UPNVY Podcast” which will be held for five days, from 19-23 October 2020 at 13.30 by livestream on Youtube account @upnvy. A series of "UPNVY Podcast" is on  October 19, 2020 with the main topic of "Study Program at the Faculty of Mineral Technology", followed by "Study Program at the Faculty of Industrial Engineering" on October 20, 2020, "Study Program at the Faculty of Agriculture on October 21, 2020," Study at the Faculty of Economics and Business "on October 22, 2020, and closed with" Study Program at the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences "on October 23, 2020.
