Visiting of U.S Congressional Mission in American Corner Gadjah Mada University

Reported by Titisari Handayani, American Corner UGM Director

September 2, 2004 

American Corner at Gadjah Mada University is visited by Congress Staffs from Washington D.C on September 2, 2004. They are Mr Mark E. Morrison, Mr Jacob Kurtzer, Mr Jonathan O'Neal Dilley, Mr David Morgenstern and Mr Don MacDonald. They are accompanied by representative from USINDO Jakarta and Ibu Roselani as a contact person of USINDO in Gadjah Mada University whom she is also a lecturer in Faculty of Cultural Sciences, English Department.

The Visitors were at the American Corner from 3.30 pm to 4.00 pm after visiting Faculty of Cultural Sciences at Gadjah Mada University. After we introduced each other they looked around from reading room, books, computers, internet, DVD room and posters. Some of them asked questions to pak Ida Fajar, Chief of Gadjah Mada University Libraries, asked to ibu Titisari and ibu Cahya and the others asked and talked to users of the American Corner whom one of them is an undergraduate student of the Faculty of Law GMU whom he had won in the English debate nationally and also had attended the international event. It seemed their discussion very interested when I saw them from away.

The Questions which are asked from how many users visit everyday, who selected reference books, how many computers are available in the Corner, DVD, internet, web, do we charge internet for users, online journal, magazines, programs, our working hours, do we open for the public to the others American Corners in Indonesia.
