The Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at the University of Jember convened a strategic workshop titled “Strengthening Study Program Capacity Toward an Excellent FISIP” on November 15–16, 2025. Held at the Jubung Vocational Campus, the venue was specifically selected to provide a focused environment for formulating the faculty’s quality improvement strategies. This initiative represents a concrete step by FISIP to align and strengthen governance across all study programs in pursuit of its vision for excellence.
The event was officially opened by the Dean of FISIP University of Jember, Suyani Indriastuti, S.Sos., M.Si., Ph.D. In her opening remarks, Dr. Indriastuti emphasized the necessity of adaptation and innovation in managing study programs to remain competitive and meet the highest quality standards. She underscored that achieving “Excellent” (Unggul) status is more than a mere administrative milestone; it is a fundamental commitment to providing premier educational services to students and the public.
The faculty’s dedication to this strategic agenda was evidenced by the presence of its senior leadership. Attending alongside the Dean were the Vice Dean for Academic Affairs, the Vice Dean for General Affairs and Finance, and the Vice Dean for Student Affairs and Alumni. This comprehensive leadership presence aimed to directly oversee the strategic formulation process and ensure its effective implementation.
Over the course of the two-day workshop, participants focused on analyzing key performance indicators, evaluating curricula, and designing enhancement programs for faculty quality and student services. Study program administrators engaged in intensive discussions regarding the specific challenges and opportunities within their respective departments to maximize their contribution to the faculty’s overarching goals.
The outcomes of the Jubung Campus workshop are expected to serve as a definitive roadmap for all study programs within FISIP University of Jember. Through collective commitment and structured capacity building, the faculty remains optimistic in its ability to accelerate the achievement of “Excellent” accreditation and solidify its reputation as a leading institution in social and political sciences.
