"I came here with PBI UMM friends from various classes, starting from the 2018 to 2023 class. Coincidentally, for this book review event, the speaker was our lecturer, namely Mr. Candra," he said.
Not only taking part in discussions and book reviews, FKIP Indonesian Language Education Study Program students also appeared to read poetry. M.
