UGM American Corner (AmCor) Library was awarded the Best Programming and the Best Reporting by the Information Resources Center (IRC) US Embassy Jakarta. UGM AmCor was selected as the best among the 11 American Corners throughout Indonesia.

"The theme was varied, involving various scientific disciplines. In each program there is always sharing between both sides so that the shared information is not only about America, but also about Indonesia," he explained.


Nur Cahyati Wahyuni, Chairman of American Corner & ASL section, added that the award had been given to them due to their program reports that they regularly sent to the US Embassy Jakarta.
