As one of ACICIS’s long-standing partner institutions, CESASS continues to open its doors to Acicis students through the CESASS Internship Program. Each year, participating students take part in a wide range of activities across different divisions, ranging from media and publication to contributing to research articles, as well as delivering presentations in CESASS Chat, along with many other learning opportunities. These experiences are designed to strengthen students’ academic and professional skills while deepening their engagement with Indonesian and Southeast Asian studies.
