Indonesians are taught to have a caring character towards the people around them. According to the quote “Tak kenal maka tak sayang”, the first batch of Business Economics students held a bonding program where all went to Puncak and had fun! Students went on night safaris, did midnight sports, held barbecues, did morning-swimmings, and of course, had endless eating sessions!

The program’s first company visit was to the Nielsen Company. Nielsen is a leading global information and measurement company, providing market research insights and data on people’s activity.
