Not much different from the implementation of the first day of PKKMB, the second day of PKKMB was also filled with various activities, including material related to Higher Education in the Era of the Industrial Revolution, Environmental Awareness and Healthy Campus, Intellectual Character and Anti-Violence, USU Library, and several other materials. Apart from being filled with various materials that add insight to new students, on this occasion, new students were also allowed to be creative with various non-timber forest products (NTFPs) that the committee had provided.
