Students showed great enthusiasm throughout the program. The question-and-answer session became one of the most engaging segments, allowing students to interact directly with active university students and learn more about academic and non-academic campus life.
Through this outreach program, it is hoped that more high school graduates in Minahasa will be encouraged to pursue higher education in the Department of Chemistry, FMIPA UNIMA, and contribute to the advancement of science, particularly in the field of chemistry.
