Semarang (07/09) – The digitalization of administrative services is a crucial step in supporting effective and efficient learning processes. Through digitalization, students and lecturers can access various academic services more easily, quickly, and transparently. One of the digitalization initiatives taken by the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP) at Universitas Diponegoro (Undip) is the introduction of the Sofi Application (FISIP Online Letter).

On Tuesday, July 9, 2024, the launching event for the Sofi Application (FISIP Online Letter) was held in the Auditorium, 3rd Floor of Building A at the FISIP Undip campus.
