[Unpad Media Channel] Graduating with a perfect GPA of 4.0, earning an Honorable Mention, and completing the Medicine Program in approximately 3 years, Leonard Hartanto Jososudarmo is selected as the Best Undergraduate at the 4th Wave Ceremony of Graduation Ceremony at Universitas Padjadjaran for the 2023/2024 Academic Year at Graha Sanusi Hardjadinata Unpad, Jl. Dipati Ukur 35 Bandung, Tuesday, August 6th, 2024.
During his studies, Leonard was actively involved in various academic and non-academic activities. His success is largely attributed to his disciplined approach. For instance, in managing his daily activities, Leonard used time management tools such as Google Calendar and Notion. He also tended to work harder to achieve his goals.
“I really make an effort. If others, for example, do one thing, I try to do more, like a thousand times and don’t forget to pray,” said Leonard during an interview with Unpad Media Channel.
In the academic field, Leonard participated in the Asian Medical Students’ Association International (AMSA) and the Science and Research Center (SRC). Thanks to these organizations, Leonard became a Top Scorer in the IMPhO (Indonesian Medical Physiology Olympiad) 2023, a Semifinalist in the CMU-IMC (Chiang Mai University International Medical Challenge) 2023, and a Quarterfinalist in the SIMPIC (Siriraj International Medical Microbiology, Parasitology, and Immunology Competition) 2023.
Leonard was also active in non-academic pursuits, joining the Basketball Student Activity Unit (Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa or UKM). Leonard and his team achieved 3rd place in the METASTASIS 2023 competition.
Leonard advises students not to use the “Last-Minute System” as it leads to accumulating tasks. He also suggests prioritizing tasks based on their urgency.
“For example, if there are tasks, classify which ones are more urgent first. Then, decide which to work on first to be more effective,” explained Leonard, who joined Unpad in 2021.
During his studies, Leonard was greatly supported by the faculty members, teaching staff, and peers from the Faculty of Medicine at Unpad. In the future, Leonard hopes that Unpad will continue to advance and develop.
“Let’s work together to advance Unpad,” he concluded. (SA)*
