My name is Mita Anggaryani, I nominate myself as the higher degree by research officer with The Empower Team. I'm nearly finishing my PhD candidature at the Australian National Centre for Public Awareness of Science. As an international student, I've had quite distinctive experiences of student's life across some range of issues. I worked with the Indonesian students’ association (PPIA) in 2016-2017 as the advocate team, responsible for the students’ wellbeing. I also involved in some voluntary works with ANUCS since 2015. I believe that ANU has excellent academic environment and culture that built up from the respectful relationships between the staff and the students. I think that a good education system and environment should not be only focused on the infrastructure. But also, it should be able to create a good academic culture. A culture that makes the alumni recognised as part of an excellent educational community. Universities should be aware that they are responsible for creating future leaders, a generation who not only needs to be smart but also 'kind' as human. Becoming a part of PARSA and taking a role as the HDR officer will give me more opportunities to make a contribution to the ANU communities. As the HDR officer, I want to make sure that all HDR students deserve adequate support from their academic environment to finish their study.
