JATINANGOR, itb.ac.id â€“ OSKM Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ 2024 (Student Orientation of Institut Teknologi Bandung) was held to welcome new students through a variety of activities. The first day kicked off on Wednesday (4/9/2024) with an opening ceremony, a talk show with the CEO of NSEI and Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ lecturers, and mentoring sessions.

Mentoring was conducted in smaller groups, which were referred to as â€œfamilies.â€ The hope was that new students would find a â€œnew familyâ€ as they begin their journey in university life.

There were two mentoring sessions on the first day: general mentoring and religious mentoring. General mentoring was led by field committee members, who are Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ students. The mentors act as facilitators, sharing their experiences as well as a set of curated materials.

OSKM Âé¶¹Ö±²¥ 2024 consisted of approximately 243 â€œfamilies,â€ each with around 20 members. During the mentoring, mentors shared insights on the essence, urgency, and true meaning of leadership training. The sessions allowed participants to exchange views on the topics presented.

In addition, there was religious mentoring. Here, new students were supported without any discrimination. The aim was to foster a harmonious community of students of different religions within itb. The religious mentoring sessions were organized in collaboration with various student religious organizations at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥.

â€œIt was really exciting to meet new Muslim students from different regions in Indonesia. I hope the mentoring materials will be beneficial and help them survive at Âé¶¹Ö±²¥,â€ said Shafira Azka, one of the religious mentors.
