Yogyakarta, January 1, 2026 – A student from the Faculty of Pharmacy, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), has once again secured a prestigious international achievement. Hanindita Nafisa Sudiarso, an undergraduate student at the Faculty of Pharmacy UGM batch of 2024, successfully claimed the title of 1st Runner Up in the APRO Branding Competition 2025–26, organized by the IPSF Asia Pacific Regional Office (APRO).
The competition, held virtually from December 12–24, 2025, saw participation from pharmacy students across various countries in the Asia Pacific region.
