First Dean of FISIB

Dr. H. Moh. Amir Hamzah, SH., MH., He was the first Dean to lead FISIB from 2008 to 2010. At that time he still served as Dean of the Faculty of Law, Universitas Trunojoyo Madura, so he held two positions as dean. It was only in October 2010 that a Dean was elected, who in fact came from the FISIB Lecturers themselves through the FISIB Senate Meeting, namely:

Dr. Suryo Tri Saksono from 2010 to 2011 until finally he was elected and trusted to occupy the position of Assistant Chancellor I of Universitas Trunojoyo Madura. After he served as Assistant Chancellor I, Faculty of Social and Cultural Sciences (FISIB) again edited the figure of a dean from the Faculty of Law lecturers. This was done because FISIB did not yet have a lecturer who met the requirements to sit as a Dean and finally at the FISIB Senate Meeting the following were elected:

Dr. Indien Winarwati, S.H., M.H., She was the first and only female Dean at Universitas Trunojoyo Madura. He served as dean of FISIB from 2011 to 2013. After his term of office ended, voting was held for the first time to elect leadership candidates within Universitas Trunojoyo Madura.

Likewise with the procedures for selecting the next Faculty of Social and Cultural Sciences dean using voting by all elements of FISIB Lecturers, Staff Employees and Students, each of whom has the right to vote to select and vote for the dean candidate of their choice.

At the time there were still no FISIB lecturers who met the requirements and there were only two people who ran for the position of FISIB dean, namely:

  1. Dr. Indien Winarwati, S.H., M.H
  2. Dr. H. Moh. Amir Hamzah, SH.,MH

in the voting process Dr. H. Moh. Amir Hamzah, SH.,MH had a superior vote share compared to Dr. Indien Winarwati, S.H., M.H. So Dr. H. Moh. Amir Hamzah, S.H., M.H, the first Dean of FISIB, was re-elected to occupy the position of Dean of FISIB with a term of office starting from 2013 to 2017
