UMPWR Rector Assoc. Prof. Dr Teguh Wibowo, M.Pd., in his speech said that during KKN, students must stay in the placement village and cannot return home often. The Rector advised that during KKN, students should not smoke and not mix between men and women, as well as in one group must be compact and there is no conflict.
‘For one month students undergo KKN it becomes a miniature of UMPWR, so do and say good things about UMPWR, and promote UMPWR’, ordered the rector.
The Rector explained that KKN is to help the village government to facilitate alleviating problems in the village, so do not let the arrival of KKN students even become a problem for the village. The Rector also told students to transfer their knowledge from college to the village community, especially IT problems. The Rector hopes that students who do KKN can make innovations that can be registered for IPR, and can also make articles from KKN activities published in one of the journals so that they can help students graduate without a thesis.
