Graduating with brilliant achievements is the dream of Dewi Sekar Rumpuko, a student of Faculty of Forestry UGM Class of 2019 who graduated today Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at Grha Sabha Pramana Universitas Gadjah Mada. However, Dewi could not attend the graduation and was only represented by her parents Mr. Djono and Mrs. Ngadinah because Dewi had passed away before the judicium (graduation assessment) that determined her graduation. Having been treated for some time after the accident, Dewi passed away leaving behind a spirit that is still felt by friends and lecturers. It was that spirit that made Dewi persistent in completing her research about Reptile bioacoustics in peat and kerangas forests in Central Kalimantan.
According to Mrs. Ngadinah, Dewi was a loving person who was persistent in learning and disciplined. Dewi always kept a journal of her activities so that everything could run on time. She was the pride of her family, who wanted to make her parents happy and raise their status.
Her thesis advisor, Dr. M. Ali Imron, said that Dewi has a strong spirit and persistence in completing her studies. In the research, Dewi worked with researchers from the USA. During the research in the field, Dewi was able to undergo well despite the very tough conditions in the field even in fasting conditions. Dewi’s research results have important contributions to the ecology of herpetofauna in kerangas and peat forests in Kalimantan. Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and Dewi left us all with her beautiful story before graduation.
Administratively, all her academic responsibilities have been fulfilled so that the Faculty of Forestry UGM judicium meeting decided that Dewi Sekar Rumpoko could be declared a graduate with a GPA of 3.86 cum laude.
Rest in peace Dewi, your spirit is inspiring! (Humas/FKT)
