The election of Ambassadors for the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP Ambassador) Lambung Mangkurat University is rolling again this year. The activity, which started in April, has reached the peak of the event, namely the 2024 FKIP ULM Duta Grand Final which was held on Saturday, June 15 2024 at the Balairung Sari Building, Taman Budaya, South Kalimantan Province. This activity was also attended by hundreds of spectators who watched representatives of their study programs compete in the annual BEM FKIP ULM event. A total of 5 pairs from 8 study programs successfully stepped foot in this grand final round.

Rusmad as a representative of educational technology students also showed off in the competition. It is known that educational technology students do have a positive trend in selecting ULM FKIP Ambassadors. It was proven that in 2022, TGK Fadlian Hafizi emerged as the Favorite Men’s Ambassador of FKIP ULM, while in the following year M. Noor Azmy again brought the name of educational technology to fame after he emerged as Runner Up II Men’s Ambassador of FKIP ULM.

This positive trend apparently continued in the 2024 FKIP ULM Ambassadors this time. Rusmad, who got serial number 3, succeeded in winning the title as Runner Up I, Men’s Ambassador of FKIP ULM. This achievement is certainly a good record during the participation of educational technology students in this event, as well as making the branding of educational technology students who excel even more present today. Through our interview, it was discovered that the 2024 FKIP ULM Ambassador was Rusmad’s first experience in the world of embassies.

“Of course, this is my first experience in the world of embassies and thank God I can bring a good name to educational technology at the level of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Lambung Mangkurat University. “Thank you for the support from the study program, student associations and all colleagues,” said the class of 2023 student.

He added that the support he provided to Rusmad was from taking photos for registration & interview purposes, helping to make promotional videos for ULM FKIP Ambassadors and of course moral support right up to the grand final last night.

Another member of the Student Talents and Interests Department (BAKMINWA) of the ULM FKIP Educational Technology Student Association, Muhammad Khairun Fahmi, added that he felt grateful because Rusmad was able to continue the relay and the positive results from the achievements so far.

“Thank God, Rusmad can continue the relay at Duta FKIP ULM, the hope is that future students can continue the relay from Rusmad and continue the positive results of the achievements that have been made by previous students. “In the future, of course, we from the BAKMINWA department will continue to be committed to accompanying and accompanying friends who want to achieve achievements,” he said.
