We hope today’s discussions will offer useful insights for both faculties,” he said.

Following this, Dr. Gusganda Suria Manda, S.E., M.M., Vice Dean for Academic Affairs of FEB Unsika, expressed appreciation for the warm welcome and the opportunity to engage in direct discussions. “Our goal is to learn more about how the Investment Gallery and Tax Center are structured and operated, including their programs, student activities, and partnerships with the IDX and taxation institutions. These insights will be valuable as we continue developing similar units at FEB Unsika,” he noted.

The visit continued with a token exchange between the two faculties as a gesture of institutional goodwill. The delegation from FEB Unsika was also given a tour of FEB Unram facilities, including the Investment Gallery, Tax Center, academic service areas, and student activity spaces.
