Students of the Diploma III Study Program, Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Hayam Wuruk Perbanas, once again made their alma mater proud after winning 1st place in the Economics Olympiad Competition organized by the University of Sriwijaya on November, 12 2022.

The Olympic team consisting of M. Ardha, Ambar Tri and Robiah Al Adawiyah managed to outperform the delegates from Sriwijaya University and Sebelas Maret University in the grand final round. The teams from the two campuses ranked second and third.

"When working on the questions, we used work strategies so that the results were maximized," said Ambar.

The theme raised in this year's Economics Olympiad Competition is "The Role of Gen Z Optimizing the Potential of the Creative Economy Based on Local Wisdom Towards Sustainable Development Goals 2045" with the title "Hello Taro Friends "HASOLAS" as an Effort to Implement Local Wisdom SDGs in Reducing Hunger Level”.

"We have prepared maximum presentation material, but there is a lack of data regarding nutrition and health benefits in more detail from taro," said Ardha.

"In addition to the strategy for working on Olympic questions and preparing case study presentation materials, we have also prepared informative and attractive PPT presentations. We are also preparing answers that we think will be questioned by the jury," said Robiah

“We are optimistic that we will become champions with the support of previous qualified preparations. One of the keys to becoming a champion is "Never give up and keep trying", added Robiah. (FEB/Fino)
