Universitas Muhammadiyah Purworejo (UMPWR) - Student Activity Unit (UKM) Student Information and Counseling Center (PIKMa-Surya) - held the grand final of the Generation Berencara (GenRe) Ambassador Selection, on Wednesday, 25 June 2025. The event, which was held in the Seminar Room of Campus III Sucen, was attended by 23 students who were representatives from each study programme, and was attended by delegates from UKM and HIMA at UMPWR, the committee of administrators and members of PIKMa-Surya, as well as the supervisor of UKM PIKMa-Surya Widyaning Hapsari, M.Psi.
This activity is the culmination of a series of selections that have taken place previously and aims to select student figures who are able to become adolescent role models and agents of change in voicing issues of reproductive health, future planning, and prevention of early marriage and free sex and drugs. Previously, the selection of genre ambassadors was carried out from various stages, namely written tests, interview tests, talent interest tests and public speaking.
At the grand final, the finalists first introduced themselves through speeches, after which they took turns responding to the motions given by the jury. After going through a rigorous assessment stage from the jury, the UMPWR 2025 GenRe Ambassadors were Muhammad Ulum and Tanti from PGSD. Both are expected to be an inspiration and strategic partner in socialising the GenRe Programme to students and the wider community. The UMPWR 2025 GenRe Ambassadors will later represent the campus in various youth and student advocacy activities both at the local and national levels.
Vice Rector III for Student Affairs and PMB Dr Budi Setiawan, S.Sos., M.Si., expressed his appreciation to UKM PIKMa for its contribution in building student characters with integrity and concern for social issues and adolescent health.
‘We hope that the UMPWR GenRe Ambassadors will not only be a symbol, but also a driving force to realise a healthy, smart and planned young generation,’ he said.
Chief Executive of the selection of the UMPWR 2025 GenRe Ambassador Yunita Setyaningrum hopes that this activity can form a planning generation that is able to provide examples and practice the values of the GenRe substance. Become a role model who can invite teenagers to avoid TRIAD KRR or things that should be avoided by the younger generation. With the implementation of this activity, UKM PIKMa UMPWR reaffirmed its commitment in supporting the character building of a superior and competitive young generation.
