On Saturday 9th September 2017, Department of History UGM held a “family gathering” in Multimedia Room, Margono Building, Faculty of cultural science UGM. This event was a form of collaboration between department and Keluarga Alumni Sejarah Gadjah Mada (KASAGAMA) which then also involved students as the executor. This event was one of the series of welcoming new students of History 2017. The theme of this event is “History and Prospects of the World of Work”.
There were three resource persons in this event who shared their experiences about the prospects for the world of work in the field of historical studies. They are Zakaria Effendi, Rina Widyastuti, and Sambodo. Rina Widyastuti, who now has a career at Tempo, explained that her knowledge supports her profession, which is currently pursuing journalism. In History, she is required to always be diligent in writing and that is what makes her accustomed to working under pressure.
