Meanwhile, the Hall on the 3rd floor of B Building is used for KIP students from the 2021-2022 cohorts in the Faculties of Computer and Science as well as the Faculty of Engineering.
The event featured several prominent speakers, including the Rector of Universitas Indo Global Mandiri, Dr H. Marzuki Alie; Dr Abdul Kahar, Senior Policy Expert and Head of Education Funding Service Center (Puslapdik) 2020-2024 at the Ministry of Education and Culture; and Dr Muni Ika, S.Pd., M.Pd.
In his inspiring address, Dr H. Marzuki Alie, Rector of Universitas IGM, shared an important message with KIP scholarship students. He emphasised that the opportunity to pursue higher education is a significant chance to change one's life and improve ones standard of living.
Lots of people want to go to study, but can't financially afford it. However, we have the power to change our fate. We can change our lives, Dr Marzuki Alie expressed passionately. He continued that thoughtful planning and commitment are the important keys to reaching ones dreams. Create a plan to reach those dreams,.
Dr Marzuki Alie not only gave motivation but also highlighted the responsibility that the students have. I would feel so bad and guilty if, after graduating, you are unable to achieve something meaningful, he said, with a tone of heartfelt hope. He also mentioned his efforts to increase in the KIP scholarship quota from the government to allow more students to benefit from this opportunity.
Make the most of your time on this campus; this is a valuable opportunity, Dr Marzuki Alie concluded, closing his speech. (andhiko ta/dzufiqor ammar)
