Prof. Dwikorita in her remarks congratulated all the graduates that had completed their studies, hoping that they would make better achievements in their future whilst giving optimum contribution to the state.
The Rector further asked the graduates to follow the examples of national awakening hero, Dr. Soetomo and students of STOVIA that established a youth organisation, Budi Utomo, over a century ago. According to the Rector, the spirit of those young people was still relevant today amidst the presence of sophisticated IT technology and learning facilities.
“Budi Utomo has inspired us to always have a visionary idea that orientates to the wider public, not just our own group. If we only think about our own interest, it means we are experiencing an evolution of one century backward, and this is very regrettable,” she said.
The Rector said amidst the noise of threats to diversity issues, the young generation and all elements in the society need to spur the spirit for unity in order to maintain the Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia. “We have to spur the spirit of nationalism and unity that we live in the framework of Unitary State of the Republic of Indonesia, living sovereign, undictated by any other state,” she concluded.
