So far, the implementation of KKN, both thematic and regular, involves students from various disciplinary backgrounds. The reality in the field is that different backgrounds often cause the involvement of students to be suboptimal. This year, 2021 we carried out the community service that was integrated into thematic KKN with a new format. The method applied was to focus on one theme, namely patchouli, but look at it from various sides. The thematic KKN integrated community service program was attended by students from four study programs of Halu Oleo University: agribusiness, chemistry, accounting and management. This activity lasted for one month, August 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we divided students into four groups: Agribusiness A practiced their knowledge of seeding, planting, fertilizing and spraying pests; Agribusiness B disseminated the use of leaf and patchouli chopping machine equipment; Chemistry studied applying distillation in refining and testing the quality of patchouli oil products; Economics calculated production costs and marketed patchouli oil. As a result, students worked and studied according to their respective disciplines.
