UPH Students Won Silver, Bronze, and Honorable Mention at the 2022 National Science and Mathematics Olympiad.
Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) has once again proven its excellent education quality through the students? achievement in the 2022 Higher Education Mathematics and Natural Sciences Olympiad (ON MIPA-PT) hosted by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology (Kemendikburistek). In the competition that took place on September 23, 2022, the students from UPH Faculty of Science and Technology (FaST) won three prizes, namely the Silver Medal for Biology (Jevon Aaron Lesmana, Biology 2019), Bronze Medal for Mathematics (Darmawan Putra Wijaya, Mathematics 2020), and an Honorable Mention category in the mathematics (Mario Sutardiman, Mathematics 2020). These accomplishments placed UPH on the 7th rank on in the most medals won in the competition.
ON MIPA-PT has four categories of competition: chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics. According to a report by Prof. Dr. Abdul Hakim M.Si. as the Chair of ON-MIPA PT, as many as 87 universities participated in the final stage of the competition including UPH. UPH delegates participated in the Biology and Mathematics category alongside 65 other participants. Such achievement is a result of the students? persistence in preparing themselves to pass the highly competitive selection against over 1,000 participants.
“We made the effort to ?relearn? the materials to prepare ourselves before the competition. We also attend special sessions with our lecturers to deepen our understanding of the materials. We tried our best to be persistent and train ourselves. We are very happy and proud because our effort pays off. We succeed in competing with over 1,000 participants and achieved such great achievement,? said Jevon.
In the final stage, the UPH delegates were faced with challenging questions. Jevon worked on case study essays on Cell and Molecular Biology, Genetics, Biotechnology, Anatomy-Physiology, Development and Reproduction, Biodiversity, and Ecology for the Biology branch of the national Olympiad. Darmawan and Mario in the Mathematics category, on the other hand, worked on questions on algebraic structures for abstract problem solving, linear algebra, combinatorics, complex analysis, and real analysis.
Upon accomplishing such great achievements, the three students agreed that it would not have been possible without the support of UPH lecturers. “We have received great support from the lecturers. They are very helpful and accommodating with our questions,” Jevon added.
As the Associate Provost for Innovation and New Programs and Dean of the Faculty of Science and Technology (FaST) at UPH, Eric Jobiliong, Ph.D. said that he is very proud of his students. “This achievement is a fruit of students’ and lecturers? hard work, and surely, by God’s grace,” he added. It is a very delightful achievement. At UPH, we always encourage our students to actively participate in various competitions to explore their potential and enhance their competence. I hope that this accomplishment will inspire other students to work hard and achieve their goals in college.”
Congratulations to Jevon, Darmawan, and Mario. At UPH, students are encouraged to achieve their full potential and become The Great Achiever! UPH remains committed to providing the best education and environment for students to succeed and be impactful in their fields.
