Sunday, August 27 2023, ITS held a Gathering of New Student Parents. This year’s IKOMA event has the theme “Building Synergy to Give Birth to Achievements”. In the series of events, Prof. Dr. Ir. Mochamad Ashari, M.Eng, IPU, AEng., as one of the speakers. In his remarks, he explained some of the advantages that ITS has, including ITS ranking on the international stage and the achievements that have been made by ITS students in competitions both at the national and international levels.

This year’s New Parents Gathering event took place at the Robotics Building, ITS Campus, Sukolilo, Surabaya. At this year’s IKOMA event, it was seen that parents and/or guardians of new students were very enthusiastic about the material presented. One of the topics in the spotlight is the socialization of the myITS Wali application. This socialization was delivered by the Director of the Directorate of Technology Development and Information Systems – ITS, Mr. Rizky Januar Akbar, S.Kom., M.Eng.

In his presentation, he explained that the myITS application allows parents and/or guardians to monitor the progress of their son’s/daughter’s studies. In myITS Wali there are several features including Lecture Presence, Tuition Fees, and Student Profiles (for Study Progress and Extracurricular features will be released later). DPTSI also opened a booth to provide information regarding myITS Wali. Several parents and guardians who visited were very enthusiastic about asking about the use of the myITS Wali application and how to use it. Through this stand, parents and guardians can receive brochures or try to access the myITS Wali directly (for those accompanied by their sons/daughters).

It is hoped that the New Student Parents Gathering will help parents and/or guardians of new students monitor and understand more about their son’s/daughter’s studies.
