UIC College presented an extraordinary music recital titled “DVISVARA”  on Monday, October 7, 2024, at the Kartanegara Recital Hall, South Jakarta. DVISVARA , derived from the Sanskrit meaning “two voices of goddesses,” showcased two talented UIC Music students, Neishya Laurencia and Richelle Magdalene, each presenting unique, original compositions as a culmination of their academic journey. Neishya Laurencia: “Different Stages of Love” Neishya Laurencia, known by her stage name Neilaw , is a singer and songwriter who took the audience on an emotional journey through her recital themed “Different Stages of Love.” Her performance uniquely captured four universal phases of love: limerence, capture, denial, and acceptance. Through heartfelt lyrics and captivating melodies, Neilaw didn’t just sing—she shared the story behind each song, creating a deep connection with the audience. “This recital is the culmination of everything I’ve learned. Through music, I want to take the audience on a personal journey that I’ve experienced during my time at UIC College. It’s an opportunity to truly showcase who I am as both a musician and a person,” Neilaw expressed. “UIC College didn’t just introduce me to the industry but academically prepared me for my final year in the UK.” Richelle Magdalene: “Lesson Learn” Richelle Magdalene, a singer and songwriter with an edgy, swaggy style, is passionate about bringing mental health awareness to the forefront of Indonesia’s music industry. In her recital themed “Lesson Learn,”  Richelle sought to open a conversation about mental health issues that are often overlooked, particularly among younger generations. She believes everyone has a role to play in helping each other face these challenges. Through her songs, Richelle inspired the audience to care more about their mental well-being and the well-being of those around them. “For me, this recital wasn’t just about showcasing technical abilities, but also about my artistic growth. Every note and composition tells my story. Music is my way of expressing what’s difficult to put into words, and I hope the audience feels that message through my performance,” said Richelle. “UIC College has given me the opportunity to pursue my passion and prove that dreams can come true with hard work and determination.” Guidance from Industry Experts Behind the success of these two young musicians is the guidance of Kang Irfas, one of UIC Music’s top lecturers. “Neilaw and Richelle are incredibly dedicated to music. During mentorship, I witnessed their growth in both technical skills and artistic expression,” he shared. Aimee Sukesna, USG Education’s Head of BSD Campus, also expressed her pride in the natural talents of Neilaw and Richelle. “They have not only mastered the technical aspects of music but also delivered deep messages through their work. They exemplify how creativity and integrated education can shape a generation of global-ready musicians,” Aimee said. Adhirama G. Tusin, President Director of USG Education, emphasized, "Dvisvara isn’t just a music stage; it’s a reflection of the immense potential young Indonesians have in the creative industry. Aligned with the vision of Golden Generation 2045, UIC College plays a pivotal role in nurturing creative talents who will enrich Indonesia’s arts and culture while positioning us as a key player in the global creative economy." Through Dvisvara , UIC College reaffirms its commitment to developing young Indonesian talent in the field of music.

In the midst of rapid digitalization, understanding and preserving Indonesian culture is an essential responsibility to be passed on to the younger generation. To strengthen awareness of the importance of cultural heritage in a globalized world, UIC College has embarked on an inspiring collaboration with the Yogyakarta Palace through the Real Client Project program. The series of Real Client Project activities began with a Client Briefing session held on Monday, November 18, 2024, at the UIC College BSD Campus. The session was exclusively delivered by Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Bendara, Chairperson of the Yogyakarta Special Region Tourism Promotion Board , and attended by approximately 220 UIC College students from various programs, including BTEC Level 2, Business, Graphic Design, Fashion Design, Music, and Computing. During her presentation, Gusti Kanjeng Ratu Bendara highlighted the Yogyakarta Palace's pivotal role in preserving traditional arts, enriching local culture, and developing businesses that support sustainable tourism. She also emphasized how the Palace has successfully blended tradition with modern approaches to create a broader impact both locally and internationally. Through the Real Client Project, UIC College students are given the opportunity to work on assignments directly guided by GKR Bendara and members of the Palace's royal court (Abdi Dalem). The project involves exploring art, culture, and business elements that will be showcased during the UIC Creative Showcase in January 2025, in Yogyakarta. This initiative aims to teach students not only about arts and culture but also how to leverage traditional heritage as a foundation for the creative economy. The program is designed to strengthen the younger generation’s connection to Indonesia’s rich cultural heritage. By exploring the art and traditions of the Yogyakarta Palace, students are encouraged to appreciate the nation’s cultural identity while honing their professional skills in real-world scenarios.

YKK Zipper Indonesia’s showroom, where they delved into the creative and engineering marvels behind zippers and high-tech fasteners. The tour introduced students to a variety of YKK’s products, providing a deep appreciation for the intricate production process that ensures high-quality standards. This visit was a testament to UIC College BSD’s commitment to providing a comprehensive and practical fashion degree. Our program emphasises hands-on experience in the industry, ensuring that students not only gain theoretical knowledge but also understand its practical applications. The primary purpose of this visit was to give UIC fashion students hands-on experience and industry insights, bridging the gap between classroom knowledge and real-world applications. The final activity challenged our students to create a pocket using demonstrated zippers, requiring them to handle cutting and sewing to integrate the zipper perfectly into their design. This hands-on experience was both educational and inspiring, showcasing the blend of creativity and engineering that defines YKK's products, and equipping our students with practical skills and industry knowledge. Through opportunities like these, UIC College BSD prepares its students to excel in the competitive fashion industry with confidence and competence.
