BANDUNG \u2014 The Bandung Raya branch of the Babakan Alumni\nCommunications Council (Makom Albab) is preparing a number of academic\nprogrammes to strengthen the contributions of alumni from Babakan\nCiwaringin Islamic Boarding School in Cirebon Regency. The programmes\nwill be proposed ahead of the national conference of Makom Albab\u2019s\ncentral board.<\/p>\n
Branch chair Sidkon Djampi said the alumni\u2019s potential across a range\nof fields was an asset for developing the organisation. They include\nacademics, professors, doctors, businesspeople, students, and managers\nof educational institutions and Islamic boarding schools.<\/p>\n
According to Sidkon, one priority is to compile a database of alumni\nin the Bandung Raya area. It will include their identities, addresses,\nyears of graduation from the pesantren and current activities. Students\nwho are still studying will also be included.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur programmes will focus on academic activities. We hope alumni\u2019s\nideas and research findings can be contributed to Babakan Ciwaringin\nIslamic Boarding School, the alumni organisation and West Java,\u201d Sidkon\nsaid on Sunday (18 October 2026).<\/p>\n
In addition to the database, Makom Albab Bandung Raya is planning a\nprogramme called Makom Albab Goes to Campus. It will provide a platform\nfor developing scholarly research, seminars and academic discussions\ninvolving alumni working at universities.<\/p>\n
Sidkon hopes the activities will produce ideas that benefit the\npesantren, alumni and the public. The research findings are also\nexpected to be aligned with West Java\u2019s development programmes.<\/p>\n
He added that service to one\u2019s alma mater was an important part of\nthe organisation\u2019s work. With their diverse professional and academic\nbackgrounds, alumni are expected to contribute according to their\nrespective capabilities while upholding the pesantren\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n
Alongside academic development, Makom Albab Bandung Raya will\ncontinue religious studies and pesantren devotional practices to\npreserve the traditions of santri.<\/p>\n
\u201cWherever alumni pursue their work, service to Babakan Ciwaringin\nIslamic Boarding School must remain a priority. However small their\ncontribution, we want it to benefit the pesantren and the community,\u201d\nSidkon said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/makom-albab-bandung-raya-prepares-academic-programmes-for-alumni-1792291820", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
