Dear JIC Family,
We are thrilled to announce some exciting news from Western Michigan University (WMU)! Two outstanding students from our American Degree Program have been honoured as 2023 WMU Presidential Scholars. These exceptional scholars are Timothy Gunawan, majoring in Statistics, and Lidya Kartika, pursuing Integrated Supply Management.
The WMU Presidential Scholars Recognition is the highest academic honour that WMU bestows upon its undergraduate students, acknowledging their remarkable achievements in academics and the arts, specifically in their respective majors. It is a testament to their exceptional dedication and excellence, setting them apart from their peers.
Timothy and Lidya's selection for this prestigious award is even more impressive when considering the competitive senior class they emerged from, consisting of 4,748 students across nearly 50 academic schools, departments, and programs. Their outstanding accomplishments truly make them shine among their fellow students.
It's worth noting that both Timothy and Lidya initially embarked on their academic journeys through the 1+3 American Degree Program at JIC. This program not only guaranteed their transfer to Western Michigan University but also provided them with the flexibility to explore other university options. Their achievements reflect the quality and success of JIC's American Degree Program Alumni.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Timothy and Lidya, and we wish them continued success and excellence in their academic pursuits and in careers as well.

Dear JIC Family,
Today, we are going to talk about one of our lecturer’s professional accomplishments. We are proud to announce that one of our faculty members, Rubén García Berasategui, has been listed as a collaborator on the cover page of the book Mathematica Beyond Mathematics: The Wolfram Language in the Real World, 2nd edition, published by one of the most prestigious publishers worldwide, CRC Press, part the Taylor & Francis group.
Mr. Ruben not only did the translation from the original Spanish version but also contributed significantly to the text and examples of the chapters covering economics, finance, machine learning, and probability and statistics, among others. We had a chat with him, and he told us that getting involved in writing a book like this is mostly a labor of love since you spend a huge amount of time getting the book ready, and monetarily is not very rewarding. The main reason why he did it was because he fell in love with Wolfram Mathematica while finishing his MBA studies in Berkeley, California, back in 1997.
He has been using the program ever since not only for teaching but also for exploring exciting topics such as crypto, risk management or data science. Mr. Ruben also became the first Wolfram-certified instructor in Southeast Asia in 2012.
For those of you wondering, Mathematica is a software system for technical computations and visualizations created by Stephen Wolfram in 1988. The program uses the Wolfram language, a proprietary, general high-level multi-paradigm programming language, to perform all the tasks.
Here at JIC, we always take pride in the quality of our lecturers, and Mr. Ruben is one of them. It is an honor for us to work with him, and we are grateful for his contributions to JIC.
For those of you who are passionate about programming and would like to learn more about the Wolfram Language, you are more than welcome to come to JIC. Our staff and lecturers would be happy to see you and share insights not only about Mathematica and the Wolfram Language but also about the best university pathways to make your IT-related dreams a reality.
Thank you, and see you at JIC soon.

Dear JIC Family,
Thanks to your incredible support, the JIC Eternals Sports Cup was a great success.

The students named it "Eternals" to ensure its lasting memory for all participants and committee members. Notably, this entire event was organized by our students, with a budget of around 200 million rupiahs.
Fun facts, our student teams are also called Rhinos, reflecting the official mascot of JIC, a one-horned Rhinoceros. We have chosen to use one-horned rhinoceros as our mascot to reflect the culture of Indonesia while also showing stability, strength, and a fighting spirit.
The students also chose the Verde Sportshub in PIK 2 Tangerang for its excellent facilities to host the event, where we featured three categories: Basketball, Mini Soccer, and Badminton.
