Jakarta, February 11–12, 2026 – The University of Jakarta International (UNIJI) was delighted to host Professor Lim Weng Marc for a two-day guest lecture, where he explored fresh ideas for teaching higher education.

This invitation, graciously extended by UNIJI President Dr. Wenny Candra Mandagie, S.E., M.Pd, showed the University’s dedication to boosting academic quality and working together with other institutions. Prof. Lim, a well-known expert in business management and leading higher education, shared some great insights with both faculty and students during his visit.

In his main talk, “The Pedagogy Toolbox,” Prof. Lim presented a flexible way to teach and learn. Instead of sticking to just one “best method,” he suggested that teachers use a mix of approaches that match what students are learning, who they are, and what the program is about.

He stressed the importance of making sure everything works together that learning goals, classroom activities, and tests all fit well. Prof. Lim also talked about different teaching techniques, like the flipped classroom, case method, simulations, design thinking, team-based learning, and action learning with real clients. He explained that each method is good for different things and should be picked carefully.

The session also cleared up some common misunderstandings in higher education, like thinking that more talking automatically makes learning better or that online classes aren’t as tough. Prof. Lim pointed out that good teaching comes from careful planning, engaging students, and having clear rules for how things are graded.

Faculty members had interesting chats about how to make sure the curriculum fits, how to keep students interested, and how to run teaching practices well. The visit gave them useful tools and a clear plan for getting better, including a 90-day plan to put everything into action.

UNIJI is truly grateful to Prof. Lim Weng Marc for his inspiring work. His visit reminds us of our mission to provide education that’s both globally relevant and focused on our students, and to keep pushing the boundaries of teaching and learning.

Nestled in the lush greenery of the Green Forest Bogor Hotel & Resort, this two-day event transformed into more than just a getaway; it was a journey of connection, growth, and unforgettable experiences.

Day 1: Where Learning Met Adventure

The day kicked off bright and early on Friday morning as dozens of eager UNIJI students boarded their buses at Campus UNIJI, Taman Catleya. Laughter and chatter filled the aisles as everyone eagerly anticipated what awaited them in Bogor. Upon arrival, participants checked in and joined the welcome session led by Ms Octa, Ms Winda, and Ms Moudy, who set an energetic tone for the entire trip.

After the morning briefing by Mr Lawrence and Mr Chandra, the field trip officially began with a highly engaging Digital Marketing Workshop presented by Ms Putri. Her session, titled “Workshop and Real-World Challenges”, allowed students to explore how creativity, content, and technology blend in the business world today. It was a session that both inspired and challenged UNIJI’s future leaders.

After a delicious lunch and Friday prayers, the afternoon kicked off with the main event: Leadership Training and Team Building. Laughter filled the resort as students played exciting games, which helped them learn to work together, think strategically, and communicate effectively. By the end of the day, students had formed friendships that would last a lifetime.

As evening came, the atmosphere became more relaxed and joyful. The Talent Show Night was a real highlight of the event. Groups put on performances ranging from singing, dancing, and comedy to creative acts that showed off their talent, confidence, and teamwork. The judges: Mr Chandra, Ms Putri Olivia, Mr Anton, Ms Miranti, Ms Siwi, and Ms Vani, had the tough job of picking winners from all the amazing performances.

Day 2: Reflection and Renewal

Saturday morning kicked off bright and cheerful with a Morning Exercise session led by Ms Rizka and Ms Dahlia. Everyone stretched, laughed, and felt refreshed, ready to tackle another day of growth. After breakfast, Mr Chandra led a Social Development Session that was both insightful and fun. He showed the students how important it is to be empathetic, communicate well, and know yourself. Through lively discussions, he reminded everyone that being a leader isn’t just about leading others it starts with understanding yourself.

The excitement really got to everyone during the Award Ceremony, where the most energetic teams were celebrated.

By noon, it was time to head out, pack up, and hop on the buses back to Jakarta. The ride back was filled with happy chats, photos, and a feeling of accomplishment that stayed with everyone even after they arrived at Taman Catleya.

More Than a Trip, A Chapter to Remember

What made this field trip special was how learning and laughter went hand in hand. Whether it was the smart lessons during workshops, the fun times by the bonfire, or the shared excitement in every activity, UNIJI students showed everyone what it means to be united and a leader.

As one participant put it, “It wasn’t just about traveling—it was about finding out who we are as future leaders and as a family.”
