Alumni Talk with Katarina Monika

On Thursday, August 24, 2023, during the UPH Festival 2023 Faculty Talks event, one of our alumni, Katarina Monika, made an appearance. The name Katarina Monika has recently been widely discussed because her design work was chosen to be the logo for Indonesia’s 78th birthday.

On that afternoon, Katarina Monika, along with two other UPH alumni, shared her experiences as a designer after graduating. She also shared the things she learned and the values she applies in her work. In an event attended by prospective students of UPH’s visual communication design program, Katarina Monika’s presence provided inspiration and an overview of what graduates of UPH’s visual communication design program can achieve as leaders in the field of design, capable of creating transformative designs for society.

My time at UPH has been a voyage of self-discovery and personal empowerment.

My journey of studying at Universitas Pelita Harapan (UPH) has been incredibly positive. The academic environment at UPH creates an inclusive and inspiring atmosphere, allowing me to harmonize my academic activities with personal growth. What stands out the most is UPH’s commitment to being a Christ-centered university. This commitment signifies a unique approach to education that integrates faith, knowledge, and character development. UPH has nurtured an environment where academic pursuits and values coexist harmoniously, enhancing the significance of my educational experience.

UPH, for me, is not just an institution; it is a portal to a realm of boundless possibilities. I am grateful for the privilege of pursuing higher education here. The privilege of studying in UPH presents extend far beyond classroom learning. It opens doors for diverse experiential learning such as engaging in real design projects, becoming a student assistant, and a variety of other opportunities. These opportunities coupled with mentorship, guidance, and trust instilled by the esteemed faculty members, have further enriched the educational experience at UPH.

UPH’s holistic approach to education equips students not only with academic proficiency but also with a spectrum of experiences that contribute to personal and professional growth.
