I. INTRODUCTION
The second aspect in the tri dharma of higher education is community services. These community services are compulsory for every academic community, both linear with their expertise and interdisciplinary. The community services can be conducted at least once in every semester by emphasizing on the outcomes. The proposed theme should deal with contemporary problems faced by the community, whether in the local, national or global scale.
