Fikri Akbar, M.Si., M.M., Nada Arina Romli, M.I.Kom., Noprita Herari, M.I.Kom., and Mega Ayu Permatasari, M.Si.

Through this international collaboration, the Undergraduate Communication Science Study Program FISH UNJ continues to enhance its global reputation and reaffirm its role in promoting socially responsive and internationally relevant communication practices. The partnership with Shinawatra University is expected to contribute to the development of sustainable international programs, joint initiatives, and broader academic networking in the future.
