Makassar, August 14, 2024 - The Faculty of Marine Sciences and Fisheries (FIKP) UNHAS has once again reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining academic integrity by organizing an "Anti-Gratification Awareness" session for new students.

The awareness session was delivered by the Head of the Assurance and Reputation Enhancement Unit (GPM-PR) of FIKP, Dr. Nursinah Amir, S.Pi., M.P., who emphasized the importance of instilling integrity and academic ethics values from an early stage. "Education is not just about knowledge, morals, and responsibility. In her presentation, " unhealthy practices like gratification must be prevented as they can damage the educational environment," said Dr. Nursinah.

The event, held on Wednesday morning, aimed to provide the FIKP academic community with a deep understanding of the dangers of gratification and how to prevent it. Additionally, it served as a significant moment to strengthen moral values and integrity within the academic environment.

Participants, including new students, senior students, and lecturers, enthusiastically attended the session. They recognized that integrity is the fundamental foundation that must be upheld in every academic and professional life aspect.

This awareness session is expected to be a substantial step toward building a clean and gratification-free academic culture at FIKP UNHAS. It is a collective effort, and the entire FIKP UNHAS academic community plays a crucial role in this. The session served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining ethics in all educational and non-academic activities on campus, empowering everyone to uphold these values.

By organizing this event, FIKP UNHAS not only demonstrates its commitment to academic integrity but also its proactive approach to preventing gratification. This effort is not merely a discourse but a concrete step continuously implemented to uphold the quality of education. This commitment should instill a sense of security and confidence in the institution's values in the academic community.
