Indonesia has been named again on the international scene by students. Two of the eight students of the Sepuluh November Institute of Technology (ITS), Surabaya, who were delegates to the 2018 Harvard National Model United Nations (HNMUN) at Harvard University, United States, successfully won the Social Venture Challenge (SVC) Award and were the only delegates from Indonesia received this award. The 8 students who became the delegation were Nadhila Fajriani Putri (Chemical Engineering), Leonard (Mechanical Engineering), Mumtaza Rizky (Mechanical Engineering), Rachmad Ananto (Sea Transportation), Qaedi Aufar (Electrical Engineering), Yohanes Bayu (Marine Engineering), Adela Almira (Industrial Engineering), and Salsabila Annisa (Shipping Systems Engineering). Three ITS student teams made it to the final round but Salsabila Annisa Rengganis (Shipping Systems Engineering student) and Adela Almira Hermawan (Industrial Engineering students) were students who were entitled to win the highest honors. HNMUN 2018 is the most prestigious UN session simulation competition in the whole world organized by Harvard University, USA. This competition was attended by thousands of students from all over the world. While the Social Venture Challenge Award is an award for teams who have social project innovations that have a large impact on the community. The social project offered by the female student is empowering fishermen in Brondong, Lamongan, East Java by making diesel engine fuel for fishing boat engines that come from fish waste. This social project is called VISH Diesel. Previously, ITS won the same award at HNMUN in 2015 and 2016. “This is a comeback after we had a vacuum not to send delegates in 2017,” said Adela. Adela admitted that in the process of preparing for this competition it was not an easy matter. He and the team joined in ITS MUN Club have been doing various exercises and preparations since July 2017. This award from Harvard proves that ITS students are the future generation of the nation that can offer effective solutions to solve complex problems that occur in the region while demonstrating that Indonesia can also compete internationally. “My hope is that in the near future, ITS students and all other universities in Indonesia can participate as agents of change, giving changeers that benefit the community, so that we, the youth can jointly advance Indonesia”. source: https://www.goodnewsfromindonesia.id/2018/02/21/mahasiswa-its-kback-meraih-pengharga-di-harvard-national-mun
