[Unpad.ac.id, 7/05/2013] Universities should shun themselves from becoming an ivory tower. Similarly, both students and alumni should blend with the people. By blending with them, the collective purpose of our independence will accordingly be achieved.
The rector emphasized the importance of blending with the society when giving his speech in the graduation ceremony batch III at Grha Sanusi Hardjadinata in Bandung on Tuesday (7/05). As many as 2,040 Unpad new graduates from all study programs walked in the commencement ceremony.
“Such spirit is evident, for example, in the slogan that Kodam III Siliwangi holds: ‘Siliwangi is the people of West Java, and the people of West Java are Siliwangi.’ They are just inseparable,” said the rector. His speech covered three events Unpad commemorates in May, namely National Education Day on May 2, National Resurrection Day on May 20, and the Anniversary of Kodam III Siliwangi on May 20.
The rector added that challenges grew and life became more complex. Unpad alumni, therefore, must have the urge to keep struggling and become part of the solution for the problems that this nation is facing.
Diploma
Still in relation to graduation ceremony, the head of Administrative Academic Bureau, Isis Ikhwansyah, said that new graduates can now take their diplomas immediately after graduation ceremony is ended. “They used to have to wait for days, but now, all graduates can get their diplomas right after the ceremony at their own faculties,” said he when interviewed after the first session of commencement ceremony was concluded.
