Denpasar, Press Bureau of BEM FEB Unud: Ksatria Udayana Team, consisting of Luh Putu Citra Kusuma from the Accounting Study Program, Class of 2021, accompanied by her two colleagues, Kadek Bagus Krishna Dwipayana from the Management Study Program and Gusti Ayu Putu Wiwit Sukmayanti from the Accounting Study Program, again succeeded in making the Faculty of Economics and Business, Udayana University, proud. The team they named Ksatria Udayana, just like the name Ksatria, bravely fought and succeeded in bringing the name of Udayana University more fragrant in the national arena by winning third place in the national level debate competition, namely the National Debate Competition of the National Festival of the Republic of Students BEM Undiksha 2022 Branch of Indonesian Language Debate Competition. The competition, which was held from October 18 to November 24, 2022, was held by the Student Executive Board of Ganesha University of Education and was attended by 16 teams from 8 universities throughout Indonesia.

The long journey that this team took from the beginning to the final round was not easy. Behind their success there is a feeling of fear of failure that they feel, and it cannot be denied that obstacles and obstacles certainly exist during the race process. Starting with the capitalization of recklessness, the Udayana Knight team then sent an argumentation video about a motion, continuing to qualify from one round to another until it reached the final round. In the final round, they were invited to attend the event directly at Undiksha Singaraja.

Citra and her two colleagues, Bagus Krishna and Wiwit Sukmayanti, are students who are active in student organizations. The busy world of lectures and also being obliged to carry out responsibilities in the organization is one of the reasons for this team to have difficulty meeting in person to prepare for this competition to the fullest. Coupled with a very broad and actual motion related to IPOLEKSOSBUDHANKAM, they have to be updated on the latest issues that occur. However, with the experience and effort that is also not spent playing games, the Ksatria Udayana Team always tries to discuss and dissect the motion, either offline, taking the time to gather, or online, to be able to unite perceptions and also share information to add references to the debate motion later.

Their sweet victory in the debate competition made them invited by the Udayana University Rectorate Team at the Udayana University year-end reflection event to receive appreciation as outstanding students. Citra said that their victory this time was a momentum for them to learn and process and to add to their portfolio of achievements. A sense of pride and gratitude was clearly felt by the Udayana Knight Team, and they also expressed their gratitude to all those who had helped their process in this competition.

Ksatria Udayana Team's experience and enthusiasm is not instant, but they start everything from 0, from the beginning. So, in the interview that took place online via WhatsApp chat, Citra conveyed a message "Never be afraid to try because if you don't try then you won't know your own abilities. Seek as much experience as possible out there because there are many great things waiting for you," Citra said. In addition, Citra also advised KKM Debate FEB Unud colleagues to always actively share information related to the ongoing debate competition so that more students know and can take part in the existing competition. In addition, for fellow students at FEB Unud who are interested in participating in the debate competition and need peer tutors, they can contact Ksatria Udayana Team colleagues via their Instagram.
