Hello EDSA!
So, the term of EDSA Student Body 2018 has been started. The
Student body has planned fascinating projects until the end of the year.
Various activities ranging from sports and art communities, academic
activities, to our annual events are offered to all EDSA members. So, is there
anything new? Let us introduce you what’s in EDSA 2018:
- EVENTS
1.
E-NITE
E-nite or English Nite is one of EDSA’s foremost events. During the
night, EDSA presents an annual play which is performed at Cak Durasim Theatre
Surabaya. All of the actors and crews are recruited from English Department
students. Here, they can practice to be an actor, director, scriptwriter, makeup
artist, and many more!
2.
RICE
RICE is EDSA’s annual charity held every Ramadhan, so that’s how we got
the name RICE―Ramadhan in Charity with EDSA. The main agenda is to share and
celebrate Ramadhan with those in need. We usually have iftar together and do
Sahur on the Road the next day. There are also other interesting activities
like mini study tour or visiting nursing home. RICE is arranged by selected
committees, but all EDSA members may participate during the D-day.

Dies Natalis involves a chain of events to celebrate EDSA’s anniversary.
It includes internal events like EDSA games, EDSA League, EDSA chief election,
and EDSA Sharing Time. Moreover, there are also external competition for
public; English competition for high school students, photography and futsal
competition for college students. Finally, the events are closed in a festive
night with live performances.

Gathering Night
Another annual event is… GN―Gathering night! GN is held to introduce
everything about EDSA to the newest members of the big family. It is an
unforgettable event where new students get to know each other and tighten the
bond among them. They will have a lot of fun by playing games, enjoying
performances, and sharing quality time.
5. EDSA Company Visit
So, you might be wondering what’s new in EDSA 2018 and here it is… EDSA
Company Visit! This project allows EDSA students to visit one selected company,
