On Friday, January 19, 2024, the Visual Communication Design student association at UPH organized a camaraderie night titled “PDKT: Perkumpulan Desainer Kurang Tidur” (Designers’ Association for the Sleep-Deprived). This camaraderie event invited students from the 2022 and 2023 batches to come together and foster connections. During the event, students were divided into groups where they competed and hunted for coins to win the evening’s competitions. After a long series of games, the students shared their impressions of the activities. The event then continued with a friendly gathering before the students headed home.
