ALUMNI

BEL has established a strong alumni network associated under an alumni group with a chair to lead and foster any alumni activities. The alumni network has been provided with social media such as WhatsApp Groups and LinkedIn to circulate any information. Having an alumni network consisting of BEL alumni in various fields of work and dispersed worldwide has also provided benefits for the study program to hold various alumni events which empower their professionalism and expertises as in the activity of alumni who taught some BEL’s classes such as the class of translation, subtitling, editing, and creative writing. In addition, some of the alumni who occupied strategic and inspirational job position such as a communication officer for the Indonesian air force, a journalist in a foreign media company, a game linguist who works in Japan, and a translator for international multilateral cooperation based in the United Kingdom, were invited to an alumni talk which was held in 2020. The alumni talks will be consistently held in the future to provide BEL’s students with new insights from a shared direct experience in the industry. Those alumni activities are aligned with the goal of the study program to strengthen its position in the field of literature, language and culture.
