UPN alumnus becomes professor

YOGYAKARTA: Pembangunan Nasional University (UPN), a university
owned by the Ministry of Defense, will inaugurate on Saturday
Conradus Danisworo, an alumnus of the university's geological
technology school.

University rector Supranto said Danisworo, who currently
lectures at the university, was the first graduate of the school
and first UPN alumnus to become a professor at the campus.

"That's why we feel he deserves special treatment
for the inauguration ceremony, hoping that it will
encourage others to struggle for the same
achievement," Supranto said.

Born in Yogyakarta on Feb. 19, 1948, Danisworo obtained his
post-graduate and doctoral degrees from Vrije Universiteit
Belgium, under a UNESCO scholarship. He was the first Indonesian
to graduate from the Belgium university. -- JP
