The forestry alumni sharing activity was opened by Vice Dean I, Dr. Rudi Hartono, S.Hut, M.Si. Mr. Vice Dean I said, “This alumni sharing activity is very useful in addition to adding insight to students and maintaining friendly relations between students, alumni, and lecturers. Activities like this must continue to improve the current and future resources of forestry students.”
Alumni sharing activities are routine activities carried out at least 3 times a year to directly increase student knowledge in the field from USU forestry alumni.
In this activity, the speaker was Rio Ardi, S.Hut, M.Si, who works at the Yayasan Orangutan Sumatera Lestari-Orangutan Information Center (YOSL-OIC). Rio Ardi is an alumnus of the USU Forestry class of 2004. Rio Ardi began to pursue the field of botanicals when he worked as a research assistant at Gunung Leuser National Park in 2009. He continues to learn how to identify plant species in natural forests. Rio’s work continues to be consistent on biodiversity issues, both flora and fauna in Indonesia, especially in Gunung Leuser National Park. In an alumni sharing event with forestry students in October, Rio said, “Learning in the wild is fun even though it is full of challenges. Many species of plants and animals have not been brought to the surface about how they exist in nature, even though every small and large species has an important role in the sustainability of the ecosystem on earth.”
Students were very enthusiastic about following the alumni’s sharing. This was seen during the discussion session, where students actively asked questions. Events like this are interesting for students; Rio is able to bring students to the real world about problems in the field, how to restore forests, how to deal with local communities, and how to create community trust in migrants. Rio said we do not get this in college but in the field. Rio also hopes that students will study hard because every course and practicum will be helpful when they graduate.
