On Sunday, October 22, 2023, the Upgrading Seminar for Seedlings of KSAT, a part of the academic series of KSAT, was successfully held AT Room II of Building B, Faculty of Biology UGM. The Upgrading Seminar for Seedlings is the formal induction of members into the Landscape Architecture Study Group (KSAT) after completing the entire Acclimatization Phase I, which includes the Pre-Acclimatization I Paper, Small Group Discussion (SGD) series, Seedling Knowledge Classes, and the Oral Examination. The sequence of Seedling Knowledge Upgrading began with the Seedling Independent Project, which was then presented to a forum involving the Chairperson, Knowledge Division, Alumni (KSAT 2018), representatives from each batch in KSAT (KSAT 2020, KSAT 2021, and Prospective Members of KSAT 2023).
The seminar commenced with an opening address and prayer by the MCs, Syariva Habiba and Muhammad Hafid Dinata (KSAT 2020). It was followed by a welcome speech from the Coordinator of General Knowledge in KSAT, Muhammad Hafid Dinata (KSAT 2020). Next, the main activity took place, which was the Project Results Seminar Session, followed by a discussion session. The Project Results Seminar was divided into two sessions, Session I consisting of 14 Seedlings and session II consisting of 12 seedlings. Following all Seedlings’ presentations, the Upgrading Ceremony was conducted by Zildan Basara (Chairperson of KSAT 2023), which included the reading of the commitment pledge as a form of responsibility for Seedlings who officially progressed to the Sapling stage, and the pinning of the KSAT emblem to the representatives of KSAT 2022. The event concluded with a closing prayer and a group photo and it is hoped that the Seedlings who have officially progressed to the Sapling stage will always maintain their spirit and commitment, and will take on the responsibility of representing KSAT with pride. Additionally, it is anticipated that KSAT will continue to establish deep roots and become a robust force, penetrating through civilization, ultimately becoming a study group that brings benefits to the surrounding environment, academia, and the wider community.
