By LPPM Yudharta · Juni 12, 2026

Pasuruan – As an initial step in preparing for the 2026 Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Nyata/KKN), the Institute for Research and Community Service (LPPM) of Yudharta University Pasuruan held the First KKN 2026 Orientation Session on Saturday (June 6, 2026). The event was conducted online via Zoom Meeting and attended by all students participating in KKN 2026.

The orientation, which began at 9:00 a.m. WIB, aimed to provide students with an initial understanding of KKN implementation guidelines, expected outputs, and data collection techniques as the foundation for developing work programs at their assigned locations.

The first session was delivered by Nuraeni, S.Sos., M.AB, who discussed KKN regulations and the importance of BPJS (Indonesia’s National Health Insurance) membership during the program. In her presentation, she reminded students to maintain discipline, uphold ethical conduct, and comply with all regulations established by the committee to ensure the smooth implementation of KKN.

"KKN students represent the university within the community. Therefore, all participants must maintain good conduct, comply with the applicable regulations, and pay close attention to safety aspects while carrying out KKN programs," she stated.

The next session was presented by M. Sulhan, S.Sos., M.AB, who explained the various outputs that students are required to produce during their participation in KKN. These outputs include activity reports, program documentation, community service articles, activity videos, and other achievements that can provide benefits to both the community and the institution.

"KKN outputs are not merely academic requirements; they also serve as tangible evidence of students’ contributions to society. Therefore, each group must carefully plan its work programs and documentation from the very beginning," he explained.

The third session was delivered by Mochamad Hasyim, S.Pd.I., M.Pd.I, who discussed effective techniques for collecting data within communities. He emphasized the importance of students’ ability to identify community potentials, needs, and challenges through observation, interviews, and participatory approaches.

"A good work program is built on accurate data. Students must be able to gather information objectively and involve community members so that the programs designed truly address local needs," he said.

According to him, the data collected will serve as the basis for developing relevant, measurable, and targeted work programs, enabling KKN students to make a more meaningful impact on the communities they serve.

The Head of the KKN 2026 Committee expressed hope that the orientation would better prepare students before they are deployed to their respective KKN locations. In addition to understanding regulations and program targets, participants are expected to be capable of designing programs based on actual community needs.

"This orientation serves as an important foundation for students before entering the field. We hope that all participants will fully understand their duties and responsibilities so that KKN 2026 can be implemented successfully and bring widespread benefits to the community," he concluded.

The First KKN 2026 Orientation Session marks the beginning of a series of preparatory activities that will be conducted before students are assigned to various KKN locations. Through this orientation, all participants are expected to develop a shared understanding of KKN implementation and effectively fulfill their roles as agents of community service.
