Syabilla Rizkia Putri Raharja, a 2023 student at the Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), has achieved a remarkable accomplishment at the 2025 National Invitational for Measurable Sports for University Students.

At the championship held at GOR Bulungan, Jakarta, on June 10–12, Syabilla proudly brought home two medals: a silver in the 50-meter backstroke and a bronze in the 100-meter backstroke.

Syabilla expressed her pride in representing Universitas Gadjah Mada at the championship. “As a UGM student, I feel proud to represent my university. This is my way of giving back to the institution that has supported my growth,” she said.

She explained that this swimming competition, organized by the Jakarta Provincial Office of Youth and Sports and the Indonesian University Sports Development Agency (BAPOMI), was attended by participants from more than 30 universities across Indonesia.

The 10th Gebyar Brawijaya Qur’ani Nasional (GBQN X) 2024 was held at Samantha Krida Hall, Universitas Brawijaya. This year’s theme was “Grounding the Heart in Upholding Eternal Civilization of the Quran.” The event aimed to strengthen Quranic values among students and university youth through nine competition categories focused on religious and Islamic artistic skills.

GBQN X attracted 1,465 participants from 16 provinces across Indonesia. The competition series included registration, administrative selection, submission of written papers (for the Musabaqah Karya Tulis Ilmiah Al-Qur’an or MKTIA), announcement of finalists (for MKTIA), competition rounds, and the final announcement of winners. Universitas Gadjah Mada sent nine delegates to compete in the categories of Musabaqah Tilawatil Qur’an (MTQ), Musabaqah Tartilil Qur’an (MTrQ), Musabaqah Karya Tulis Ilmiah Al-Qur’an (MKTIA), and Musabaqah Khattil Qur’an (MKQ) – Decorative Category.

Tourism has become a vital sector for the Indonesian economy, especially in Bali. However, the influx of tourists has significantly transformed the lifestyle of the Balinese community—including the involvement of children in tourism activities. This illegal involvement has been exacerbated by the disturbing rise of Child Sex Tourism (CST), which includes pedophilia and the sexual abuse of minors.

In response to this alarming issue, four students from Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), each from different academic disciplines, joined forces as part of the Student Creativity Program for Social and Humanities Research (PKM-RSH) to conduct field research in Bali.
