The 2026 Open House series began with an opening by the emcees, Luqyana Riklah Zani and Mutia Nur Rahmah, followed by several welcoming remarks. The first remarks were delivered by the executive chairperson Open House Christy Tansisca, representing the Class of 2026, explained that this event is intended to serve as a platform for students to learn more about the available student organizations and as a first step toward finding an organization that aligns with their interests. Next, Hellen Evelia, Chairperson of the Student Council (DPM) of the Faculty of Psychology (F.Psi.) at UNTAR, delivered a welcome address and greeted the incoming Class of 2026. Meanwhile, a representative from the faculty, Ko Reza Fahlevi, S.K.M., S.Psi., M.M., M.Psi., Psychologist, encouraged the incoming freshmen to actively participate in organizational activities and explore the various student clubs available. According to him, involvement in these activities can provide an opportunity to identify their interests and talents, as well as to develop Soft Skill.
With the theme “TREVALIS: Explore Beyond, Discover Within,” Open House 2026 invites the incoming class of 2026 to explore various opportunities beyond academic activities. The name “Trevalis” itself is derived from the word “Treasure,” meaning a hidden treasure, and “Valis,” meaning a valley or a place that holds something valuable. Through this theme, the 10 student organizations (UKEs) represent the islands that the main character will visit on a treasure hunt. The journey is presented as a collaborative theatrical performance that introduces each UKE, creatively depicting their respective characters and activities.
This adventure will bring the main character closer to the true treasure. In TREVALIS, “treasure” refers to the experiences, relationships, and opportunities for growth that students can gain through their involvement in UKE. After all the clues were successfully found, the series of performances concluded with a flash mob that made the Open House 2026 even more festive.
After completing the tour through the performances, new students were invited to continue their exploration through a Treasure Hunt session, where they could spend 30 minutes visiting booths from the 10 student organizations available. Each booth provides an opportunity for new students to learn more about life within each student organization—from activities and programs to the various experiences they can gain. Additionally, new students can interact directly with student organization members to ask questions and find the organization that best aligns with their interests.
The 2026 Open House series concluded with the Student Council of the Faculty of Psychology at UNTAR presenting awards to outstanding student organizations for the 2025–2026 period. This award was presented to the Badminton Student Club, which won first place in the men’s doubles category at the Atma Jaya competition, as well as second place in both the men’s doubles and women’s doubles categories at the Tarumanagara Sport and Art Competition (TSAC). In addition, the winner of the Best Student Organization Booth category was announced based on the number of treasure coins collected by each student organization, with the Caritas Student Organization receiving the award. Before the event ended, students were invited to participate in a guessing game, and the five students who won the game received prizes.
Through this entire series of events, Open House 2026 will not only serve as an opportunity to get to know the 10 student organizations at the Faculty of Psychology (F.Psi.) UNTAR, but also mark the beginning of their journey to explore diverse experiences, build relationships, and discover opportunities for growth beyond the academic setting. In line with the spirit of “TREVALIS: Explore Beyond, Discover Within,” this journey to discover these treasures is expected to serve as a first step for students to uncover their potential and gain valuable experiences throughout their college life at the Faculty of Psychology, UNTAR.
