Happy Eid al-Fitr to friends who celebrate it. April is a month that may be more relaxed compared to previous months.

Besides being a holiday, the focus this month has shifted towards preparing for the Final Semester Exams, which will begin on April 29, 2024, until May 6, 2024. In addition to the Final Semester Exams, at the beginning of April, there is also a visual presentation for students who are working on their final projects.

The completion of one semester signifies the beginning of a new semester. Hopefully, this semester can be completed well, and the next semester can be even more interesting and better for everyone.

SEE February 2024

Hello everyone. For the second SEE of 2024, some interesting things happened in the department for the past month.

First of all, we welcome the students from VCD Universitas Multimedia Nusantara who joined the exchange student program. They have joined the online orientation and also currently attending several classes at VCD UPH this semester.

We also had student activites this month. First, the student farewell for the students that finished their final project last semester. Second, titled PDKT, which is a student bonding event held by the student association.

For this SEE’s featured work, we feature Felicia Karen Rawung’s final project. She is from the animation concentration, and her project was one of the best final project from the 2023/2024 Odd Semester.

Last update from January 2024 is that there were three new publications: de-lite, ARCHIVED, and UPH AICON 2023 Catalogue. We also republished one book that was from Design & Environment course back in 2021/2022.

We hope that everyone can be inspired more in February 2024.

DKV Welcomign Party: Doodleheimer Creativity is the Bomb

The Welcoming Party event is organized to provide inspiration about creativity and to offer positive encouragement in the transition of new students towards the academic phase. This event features alumni, namely Agnes Hernadi from the Cinematography specialization, class of 2018. Besides the alumni, there is also a senior who has accumulated valuable experiences during her study period, Natashia Lim from the Graphic Design (GD) specialization, class of 2021.
