To note, Undiksha Run was held for the first time three years ago. Its subsequent implementation was then delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Apart from running, the FOK Celebration was filled with a Zumba party which was attended by lecturers and students. This activity is also at the same time to strengthen the sense of family. (hms)
