HumasUPNVJ - UTU Awards is an annual competition between universities held by Teuku Umar University (UTU), Aceh, Indonesia. The UTU Awards is a fair competition for undergraduate students to showcase their creative ideas through projects, designs, and products from various disciplinary backgrounds. The UTU Awards are a great opportunity to gain prestige from students' ideas, feedback on student strategic plans, and exposure to the right audience. It's also a great way to expand your network of participating students, acquire talent, and get feedback on creative ideas from students. To find out more about this year's UTU Awards, the Vice Chancellor for student affairs and cooperation at UPN Veterans Jakarta initiated a webinar by inviting the Chancellor of UTU and his staff and presenting Dr. Firman Parlindungan as the chief executive who is also the speaker at this webinar which is being held online, Friday 16 July 2021.

The activity continued with remarks from the Rector of UPNVJ, Erna Hernawati, "Hopefully useful activities like this will have extraordinary outputs . We know that those who will become "future actors" are existing students and we as an agency are only as facilitators.
