In that period, the Environmental Science Masters Program graduated 6 students, of whom 3 achieved cum laude honors after completing 24 months of study.
Among the 6 MIL graduates, there is one student named H. Mansur Hidayat, Regent of Pemalang who has been a student since 2022 in the Environmental Science Masters Program. His decision to take this major was based on the desire to deal with environmental problems in Pemalang Regency. Waste is a problem in every city and district in Indonesia, nothing has been able to eliminate the problem in the city/district.
Mansur Hidayat intends and struggles to reduce the waste problem in Pemalang Regency by taking the title “Strategy for the Development of Waste Recycling Facilities and Infrastructure for Pre-Prosperous Family Groups in Pemalang Regency” so that the waste problem is not a scourge to be feared but becomes an income or blessing for the district or city.
