The Elementary School Teacher Education Study Program (PGSD) of Universitas Djuanda, together with the PGSD Student Association (HIMA PGSD) for the 2022–2026 period, organized a social service activity in the form of distributing basic food packages to residents around the Ciawi area, Bogor Regency. This activity became a special moment as it was also combined with the handover ceremony of the Head of the PGSD Study Program at Universitas Djuanda.
This social service activity represents the concern of the academic community of PGSD Universitas Djuanda for the community around the campus. Through the distribution of basic food packages to residents in need, lecturers and students aimed to foster a spirit of togetherness while instilling the values of empathy and social responsibility as part of the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education, particularly in the field of community service.
In addition to the social activity, this event also marked an important moment for the continuity of leadership within the PGSD Study Program at Universitas Djuanda. On this occasion, the handover of the Head of the PGSD Study Program was conducted from Dr. Helmia Tasti Adri, M.Pd.Si to Dr. Wiworo Retnady Riashayu, M.Pd as the Head of the PGSD Study Program for the 2026–2030 term of service.
During the leadership of Dr. Helmia Tasti Adri, M.Pd.Si (2022–2026), the PGSD Study Program at Universitas Djuanda implemented various academic development programs, student activities, and initiatives to strengthen community service. This social service activity became one of the final community engagement initiatives carried out together with HIMA PGSD at the end of her term.
In her remarks, Dr. Helmia Tasti Adri expressed her hope that the PGSD Study Program at Universitas Djuanda will continue to grow and provide broader contributions to the field of education, particularly in producing professional, well-characterized, and socially responsible prospective elementary school teachers.
Meanwhile, the new Head of the PGSD Study Program, Dr. Wiworo Retnady Riashayu, M.Pd, expressed her commitment to continuing the programs that have been initiated previously while developing new innovations for the future advancement of the PGSD Study Program at Universitas Djuanda.
