Following is a testimony from one of the participants of Open House:

?I think this event is really great and interesting, the machines and robots are really cool! I?m considering UPH as a choice for my future, but probably I will choose the Management major. But for me, I think the Electrical Engineering major is also interesting.?? Adelard, 10th-grade student of SMA Marsudirini. (FC/MV)
