From Competition to Webinars: Student Activities Colors English Letters Department
On the first weekend of May, the English Letters students and lecturers come to the Faculty of Letters campus building for several events. The events showed the active and dynamic activities of the department's Civitas Academica. There were four events happening on the weekend: ELEVEN (English Letters Events and Competitions), English Debating Society (EDS) participation in the National University Debating Championship (NUDC), Webinar on UX Writing, and Play Performance Rehearsals. Not only active students participated in those events, but also the lecturers and alumna of the department. The events may indicate that the department is home to all of its members.
ELEVEN, English Letters Events and Competitions, is the title for a generic class meeting activity where students gather and compete in some games. As expected, students really came and participated in this two-day event, May 3-4, 2024. Around 250 students came to ELEVEN, either as the players competing in the games or as supporters. There were several games at this event: sarong volleyball, basketball, futsal, poetry writing, lyric writing, and online Mobile Legend games. The games were held in several courts and places in Universitas Sanata Dharma. The winners were announced on the awarding night at the end of the second day. It was in the Faculty building's ground hall. It was so lively. Some lecturers also performed on the awarding night by reading poems and singing songs. To close the event, the English Letters Music Organization (ELMO) performed some songs.
Meanwhile, Sean, Elyonai, and Joshua, members of the English Debating Society (EDS), competed at the National University Debating Championship (NUDC). The NUDC was held online. The team came to campus to give their best. On Saturday evening, the team updated that they got the highest score. However, the competition is still ongoing until Tuesday, May 7, 2024.
The English Letters department hosted an online discussion titled "UX Writing Class Weekend Talk: Syncing Your Story to UX Writing" in collaboration with the Jogja Literary Translation Club (JLTC). The invited speaker for this event is Sesilia Gisela Serat, an alumna and a UX writer at GWS Medika. In the session, Gisel highlighted the importance of studying the contexts and understanding the voice and tones of the products before writing product descriptions. Katharina Bayusekar, an active English Letters student, chaired the session. At the end of the session, the participants practice to write descriptions of a product. The practice was followed by an engaging Q&A and lively feedback time. This event showed the connectedness of all students and alumna in the department.
On Monday afternoon at Driyarkara Auditorium of Universitas Sanata Dharma, students prepared for an upcoming play performance were in full swing. They gathered for a comprehensive run-through rehearsal of their original play performance. The show will be performed on June 15, 2024. The committee, actors, and actresses prepared the best to fine-tune the performances. After the rehearsal, the team gathered to evaluate the run-through. They discussed the acts and moves, the blocking on the stage, the time management, and many more. To learn more about this play performance, please visit their Instagram. (SAM)
