Politeknik Negeri Jember (Polije) held a series of activities to commemorate its 36th Anniversary. This event was held as a form of gratitude and togetherness of the Polije extended family which includes lecturers, staff, students, retirees, and alumni. Various activities held, such as a healthy walk, coloring competition, mass circumcision, and SME’s bazaar, also enlivened the celebration.
The activity began with a healthy walk around the main Polije campus area which was attended by all elements of the campus extended family. The atmosphere became even more lively with the laughter and cheers of participants who enjoyed this moment of togetherness.
