SUKABUMI, KABARNUSANTARA.ASIA – The implementation of Student Work Lectures (KKM) is synonymous with ceremonial programs that are quickly forgotten, but something different was done by the KUM-ITT Village team University Trisakti in Wangunjaya Village, Ciambar District, Sukabumi Regency. During the KKM which began on July 4-13, 2026, there were at least 17 students from various faculties who did not only come with theory. They went directly to help residents solve real problems, ranging from waste, lack of street lighting, to road points prone to accidents. Led by Hotton Panjaitan and accompanied by supervising lecturer Ar. Ardilla Jefri Karista, this team held various programs designed based on community needs. One of the most interesting was education on sorting waste and training in making ecobricks, namely turning plastic waste into useful products. Together with the Youth Organization (Karang Taruna), students also transformed used gallons into creative trash cans and created a mural themed on the Indonesian Independence Day. The head of the Wangunjaya Village Youth Organization, Iqram Muzakki Juniastawa, assessed that the collaboration had a positive impact on his environment with the real contributions from Trisakti students. “The mural and ecobrick program not only beautifies the environment, but also raises public awareness that waste can still be used,” he said. Furthermore, the students also teach English to madrasah students, train young people to create video content, provide counseling on the economic potential of fisheries and plantations, and encourage residents to work together to clean the environment. In the infrastructure sector, the results of their work can be directly felt by the community. Together with residents, the students designed the village gate using SketchUp, installed streetlights in previously dark locations, and installed convex mirrors on sharp bends and inclines that had previously been considered high-risk. The results were quite noticeable. The English skills of the training participants improved to the point that all participants were able to answer the material correctly after the mentoring. Meanwhile, residents now have the skills to process plastic waste into ecobricks and recycling bins. Meanwhile, the Head of Wangunjaya Village, Ipin Aripin, appreciated the students’ contribution, which he considered not only providing education but also providing real solutions for the environment in his area. “The streetlights and convex glass are very helpful for the community. The location was previously dark and quite dangerous for road users. The benefits are immediately felt by the residents,” he said. The University Trisakti Village KUM-ITT program is also in line with the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in the fields of education, environmental management, infrastructure development, and partnerships. The presence of Trisakti students in Wangunjaya is not just about fulfilling academic obligations. They leave behind something more important, knowledge that can be applied, a more organized environment, and facilities whose benefits will still be felt by residents long after the program ends.
