Pancor, December 11, 2025 — The Directorate of Research and Community Service (DPPM) of Universitas Hamzanwadi, in collaboration with Vice Rector III, organized an Empowerment Workshop on "Writing Student Community Empowerment Service Proposals" held at Microteaching Laboratory 2. The event featured Dr. Shahibul Ahyan, M.Pd, the Director of DPPM at Universitas Hamzanwadi, as the resource person, and was attended by Vice Rector III Dr. Muhammad Ali, M.Si, lecturers, the University Student Executive Board (BEM Universitas), Faculty Student Executive Boards (BEM Fakultas), and Student Association (HMPS) members. In his opening remarks, Vice Rector III emphasized that this activity was initiated to increase the number of community service proposals submitted by students and lecturers, while also reminding participants of the importance of forming solid teams and selecting communicative supervising lecturers. He also hoped for a mutually supportive relationship between lecturers and students, with the university ready to facilitate proposal preparation needs. 

During the material presentation, Dr. Shahibul Ahyan, M.Pd comprehensively explained the Student Community Service Grant (PMM). He discussed program requirements, opportunities for collaboration between lecturers and students, and encouraged participants to leverage Universitas Hamzanwadi's position as part of the main cluster of higher education institutions in Indonesia. The speaker also outlined requirements for supervising lecturers, target partners, and government partners for PMM, expected outputs, and program timelines. Additionally, he shared techniques for writing effective community service proposals and highlighted that the PMM scheme is still less popular compared to research schemes, thus requiring broader understanding among both students and lecturers. 

Concluding the event, Vice Rector III directed students to immediately start forming and organizing proposal teams after the workshop. He emphasized that PMM proposals can be recognized as part of student community service programs (KKN) or academic credits, with the ideal team composition consisting of students from semesters 6–7. With facilitation support from the campus and mentoring from lecturers, it is hoped that more students of Universitas Hamzanwadi will actively participate in community service programs and produce quality proposals.
