The Asia Pacific IUAA Conference

The IUAA Indonesia in May 2015 hosted a large gathering that brought together alumni from 15 countries in the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific IUAA Conference took place in Bali and was attended by the President of Indiana University, as well as faculty and staff.

During the conference, alumni had the opportunity to share and learn about various topics including business, culture, and organization, while also engaging in valuable networking opportunities. Additionally, a small bazaar was set up to showcase home products created by alumni.

The primary goal of this conference was to foster connections and collaboration among alumni from different countries, while also providing a platform for learning and growth. It was a truly enriching experience for all who attended.

The plant was planted by alumni as a participation and evidence of their visit to KADO.

Kampoeng Djamoe Organik (KADO) was founded by Ibu Martha Tilaar, the wife of Bapak Alex Tilaar, who is one of our esteemed senior alumni. In June 2014, a large group of Indiana University Alumni visited the 10-hectare herb nursery located in Cikarang, West Java. The nursery boasts over 600 varieties of herb species, providing a rich and diverse environment for visitors to explore.

During their visit, the alumni had the opportunity to sample a wide array of herbal teas, each offering unique flavors and health benefits. Some alumni even had the chance to participate in planting activities, symbolizing the strong bond between the IU Alumni Association and KADO.

Overall, the visit to KADO provided a fascinating insight into the world of organic herbs and the importance of sustainable farming practices. It was a memorable experience that highlighted the beauty and potential of Indonesia's natural resources.
