Fikes Online News – The Faculty of Health Sciences, UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta, in collaboration with the Student Executive Council, once again held an inspiring event to foster entrepreneurial spirit among students through a talk show entitled "Building a Business While in College." The event featured the keynote speaker, Dr. Rahmah Annisa Putri Amran, a dentist and successful culinary entrepreneur who started her business while still in school.

The event was attended by the Vice Dean II for General Administration and Finance, Dr. Yuli Amran, and the Vice Dean III for Student Affairs and Cooperation, Dr. Uswatun Khasanah. The presence of these faculty leaders demonstrated their real support for developing students' potential and independence in non-academic fields.

In her remarks, Uswatun Khasanah emphasized the importance of concrete action from students, not just fleeting enthusiasm. In her remarks, she emphasized:

"We await concrete action and courage from students to start businesses, so that UKT is no longer a burden, but instead becomes a catalyst for greater independence and creativity."

In her presentation, Dr. Annisa shared her story of her struggle building a dim sum business from scratch, as well as practical strategies for students who want to start a business without disrupting their studies. Some key points she addressed included:

- Choosing a business model that is flexible with class schedules
- Utilizing online platforms and pre-order methods to save costs
- The importance of branding, packaging design, and social media promotion
- Time management, team building, and a simple financial record-keeping system

"Start with a simple idea and the courage to initiate, because financial independence during college is a real contribution to yourself and your family," Annisa said in her motivational session.

This activity received direct appreciation from the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Prof. Dr. apt. Zilhadia, M.Si., who emphasized the importance of fostering an entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. "We are very proud to see FIKes students showing such a strong interest in entrepreneurship.
