Unesa.ac.id, SURABAYA-Sad news has been coming in lately. The big family of UNESA is grieving again. Lecturer and Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law (FISH) UNESA, Dr. Totok Suyanto, M.Pd passed away on the morning of Thursday, September 30, 2021. In the evening, UNESA held a prayer together.
The prayer event was attended by the ranks of UNESA leaders starting from the rector, vice chancellor, deans, lecturers and students around UNESA. Vice Chancellor for Planning and Cooperation Dr. Sujarwanto, M.Pd on that occasion stated that UNESA has been hit by grief in recent times. Several great figures and figures have gone before. Starting from the staff, lecturers, deans, to professors.
“And now, we must be patient and patient for the departure of all of our brothers and friends, Dr. Totok Suyanto, M.Pd," he said. Sujarwanto continued, Totok Suyanto is a kind and humorous person. He has had many roles and contributions to UNESA and the Indonesian people, both through his research and through his dedication and works.
Dr. Totok Suyanto, M.Pd is a permanent lecturer at UNESA who is still actively teaching at the Faculty of Social Sciences and Law UNESA. He once served as the head of the PPKn department and later received the mandate as the Dean of FISH UNESA. During his tenure, there were many deep impressions that his colleagues could not forget.
He is a person who is friendly, humorous, and easy to get along with colleagues of all ages. His unforgettable habit is that every morning, he regularly drinks coffee while reading the newspaper and joking with his co-workers. He is also a figure who always motivates young lecturers to continue to learn and be the best on campus and off campus. “Keep studying. Learning has to go here and there. If we don't study, we will be lost (it will be nothing or not useful, ed),” is a message that is often said to his fellow lecturers.
On another occasion, Dr. Wahono Widodo, M.Sc., expressed his impressions while getting to know Totok Suyanto. For him, Pak Totok (as he is called) is a kind and detailed person in many ways. Good at discussing issues from various points of view and good at linking the discussion to aspects of the lessons of life. “Everything was delivered casually and while laughing together. That was him," he recalls.
Although different faculties, he often meets and is involved in one program with Mr. Totok. However, during the pandemic, he rarely met face to face. He continued that he had been battling his blood sugar for a long time. "He is a good person, as long as Mr. Totok is walking, I hope you are husnul khatimah," he said. [UNESA PR]
