Today, Friday (16/3), the Student Affairs Manager of FMIPA UI, Dr. Tito Latif Indra as the Head of the Committee, announced the Winners of the 2018 FMIPA UI Outstanding Student Selection (Pilmapres) at Building C FMIPA UI at the 2018 FMIPA UI Pilmapres Champion award ceremony. Selected as the First Place Winner was Dhita Mutiara Nabella (Biology 2015), followed by Maria Maghdalena (Chemistry 2015) as the Second Place Winner and Hanna Tiara Andarlia (Mathematics 2015) as the Third Place Winner.

Representing the Dean of FMIPA UI who was unable to attend, Tito expressed his appreciation to the participants, as well as the jury team, department heads, study program heads and teaching staff who had well implemented the most prestigious event among students at the faculty level so that this series of events could run smoothly. In addition, Tito also motivated other students to continue to improve their academic achievements.

"Don't be discouraged, others, winning and losing is normal, the important thing is to keep trying your best, keep working, and being creative," said Tito.

According to him, there are many FMIPA UI students who have potential in the academic field, but only a few are interested in participating in this competition, so he hopes that through this activity, more FMIPA UI students will be active in involving themselves in participating in academic competitions.

Dhita Mutiara Nabella was selected as the first winner through her written work entitled "Efforts to Rehabilitate and Conserve Peatlands Through Sustainable Development of Sago Plantations (metroxylon sago Rottb) in Indonesia". In this Pilmpares competition, Dhita is “Single Fighter” representing the biology department. Previously, the biology department sent two of its best students as representatives, namely Dhita Mutiara Nabella and Aldi Yazri Siregar, but Aldi decided to withdraw from this competition due to several reasons.

The 2018 FMIPA UI Outstanding Student Selection was attended by nine finalists who were undergraduate students (S1) from all departments at FMIPA UI. The nine finalists of the 2018 FMIPA UI Outstanding Student Selection were Grady Christianto & Hanna Tiara Andarlia representing the Department of Mathematics, Ade Ratna Tanjung P. & M. Risky Altaresh representing the Department of Physics, Shella Jeniferiani W. and Maria Magdalena representing the Department of Chemistry, Dhita Mutiara Nabella representing the Department of Biology, Yuniar Zweistika and Annisa Daniswara S. representing the Department of Geography.

The series of competitions for the 2018 FMIPA UI Pilmapres began on Monday (12/3) at Building C FMIPA UI, Depok and was opened by Dr. rer. nat. Abdul Haris as the Dean of FMIPA UI.

At the beginning of the series of events, participants presented their respective written works in front of the jury team. Then on Tuesday (13/3) they presented and discussed one of several topics randomly determined by the jury team. These topics were narrowed down to the theme of the Pilmapres carried this year, namely “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”.

The entire academic community congratulated Dhita, while also placing their hopes that Dhita, who will compete at the University of Indonesia level, can retain the title of UI's Most Outstanding Student Champion, which was won last year by Yudhistira Oktaviandie, who is also a student in the biology department of FMIPA UI.
