December 22: A Moment to Honor the Love and Sacrifices of Incredible Indonesian Mothers
Hi Fikomers! Mother’s Day, celebrated on December 22, 2024, is a special occasion to honor the love, sacrifices, and strength of remarkable women across Indonesia. This year’s theme, “Women Greet, Women Empowered, Towards a Golden Indonesia 2045,” serves as a reminder of the vital role women play in shaping a bright and prosperous future for our nation.
The Essence of Mother’s Day: Appreciating Women’s Roles
Mother’s Day is not only about celebrating a mother’s role within the family but also about recognizing women as the backbone of society. Mothers are patient and loving educators of the nation’s future generations. Beyond their familial roles, Indonesian women continue to demonstrate their capacity as leaders, change-makers, and contributors to development in various fields, including economics, education, and politics.
The 2024 Theme: Women Greet, Women Empowered
The theme, “Women Greet, Women Empowered, Towards a Golden Indonesia 2045,” calls on us to support the empowerment of women. As Indonesia prepares to celebrate a century of independence, empowering women is envisioned as a crucial pillar in realizing the vision of a Golden Indonesia. Through equal education, inclusive job opportunities, and appreciation for their contributions, women can drive the nation forward.
Ways to Appreciate Mothers on This Special Day
Celebrating Mother’s Day can be done in simple or grand ways. Here are a few ideas to honor your mother or any woman you admire:
Express Gratitude: Share heartfelt words of appreciation for all their sacrifices and unconditional love. Simple yet meaningful words can leave a lasting impact.
Give a Thoughtful Gift: It doesn’t have to be extravagant—a bouquet, a heartfelt card, or a small keepsake can be enough to make her feel valued.
Create Meaningful Moments: Spend quality time together, whether it’s a dinner, a movie night, or a casual heart-to-heart conversation.
Support Women Empowerment: Participate in social activities, community initiatives, or campaigns advocating for gender equality and women’s empowerment.
Youth: The Catalyst for Change
As the younger generation, we bear a significant responsibility to continue supporting women in their journey to thrive and empower others. Equal access to education, technology, and inclusive environments are keys to creating equal opportunities for women. With the right support, Indonesian women can continue to make substantial contributions to national progress.
Inspiring Women Towards Golden Indonesia 2045
As we move towards the vision of Golden Indonesia 2045, Indonesian women are expected to inspire future generations. They are at the forefront, balancing family responsibilities and showcasing resilient leadership in a dynamic global landscape.
Let us honor the love and sacrifices of mothers by expressing our appreciation, prayers, and heartfelt gratitude. Be a generation that supports women’s empowerment in various fields for the progress of our nation. Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible women of Indonesia!
Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing women who continue to inspire!

Hi, Fikomers! Good luck and stay motivated in facing the Mid-Semester Exams taking place from December 9th to December 24th, 2024.
This is an important moment to measure how well you understand the course material. Prepare yourself as best as you can, use your study time effectively, and don’t forget to maintain your health to ensure smooth exams.
Hi, Fikomers. On October 30, 2024, the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Universitas Gunadarma had the opportunity to attend a Workshop and News Presenter Competition organized in collaboration with DAAI TV and AKMRTV. This event was designed to provide hands-on experience for students who want to develop their skills in broadcasting, particularly as news presenters.
During the workshop, participants received training from media industry professionals on news delivery techniques, mastering body language, and building confidence in front of the camera. Following the training session, participants also participated in the News Presenter Competition, showcasing their professional skills in delivering news.
Thank you to DAAI TV and AKOMRTV for their collaboration in this event. We hope this experience opens doors for Universitas Gunadarma students to pursue careers in broadcasting.
The academic community of the Faculty of Communication Sciences, Universitas Gunadarma, proudly congratulates Dr. Ocvita Ardhiani, S.I.Kom., M.Si., Lecturer and Staff of the Undergraduate Program in Communication Sciences at Universitas Gunadarma, who has successfully earned her Doctoral degree in Psychology from Universitas Gunadarma with the highest distinction.
This achievement is the result of her outstanding dedication and hard work, which led her to defend her dissertation titled “Academic Performance Model of Students in Blended Learning Viewed from the Personality of Conscientiousness, Self-Efficacy, Social Support Perception, and Self-Regulated Learning Mediated by Digital Literacy.”
In her research, Dr. Ocvita Ardhiani reveals that digital literacy goes beyond just technical skills; it also includes cognitive and socio-emotional skills that help students search for, evaluate, and use credible information in learning contexts. This aspect of digital literacy has become increasingly crucial in today’s digital era.
Interestingly, her study also demonstrates that two psychological factors—self-efficacy and conscientiousness—have a significant role in helping students achieve excellent academic performance. Self-efficacy, or the belief in one’s ability to achieve goals, and conscientiousness, reflecting discipline and responsibility, were found to have a major impact on academic success, especially in technology-based learning environments like blended learning.
These findings are a significant contribution to the field of education, particularly in the use of digital technologies in teaching and learning. The model developed by Dr. Ocvita can serve as a new reference in designing more effective learning systems that combine psychological factors and technology to support students’ academic performance.
We hope that this remarkable achievement will inspire all of us—whether educators or students—to continuously improve, innovate, and contribute more to the ever-evolving world of education. Once again, congratulations and success to Dr. Ocvita Ardhiani, S.I.Kom., M.Si.! We are proud to have you as part of the Faculty of Communication Sciences at Universitas Gunadarma.
