Graduation is one of the most critical moments in life. Therefore, after being inaugurated, scholars are expected to be able to benefit the community with skills that match their respective passions. The Rector told it of the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM), Dr. Fauzan, M.Pd., at the 103rd period I graduation ceremony. This event was held on (22/03) online and offline at the UMM Dome Hall.
Fauzan, as he is familiarly called, explained that the knowledge acquired over four years could be helpful in the community. Moreover, the White Campus is a Muhammadiyah charity that encourages graduates to provide scientific, social, religious, and other benefits—coupled with the ranking of the six best private universities in ASEAN that was recently achieved.
"This good news can certainly strengthen you as a graduate from a university that has recognition. Not only national but also international reputation and international accreditation," he said.
On the same occasion, Dr. KH. Saad Ibrahim, M.A as chairman of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) East Java. He revealed that his peace of mind woke up after sitting on the lecture bench. According to him, today, Graduates have had peace of mind which includes sturdiness, steps, and spiritual strength. It is the wasilah given by the lecturers in the class.
"The calm that you have now must be spread for peace and benefit the community, people, nation, and state," he said.
Appointed to deliver a scientific oration, the Ambassador of the Republic of Indonesia to the UK, Desra Percaya, P.hD., encourages graduates to continue to maintain the spirit of learning. The bachelor's degree obtained also proves their struggle during college, the sweat of their parents, family assistance, and patient teachers, likewise with lecturers who are diligent in guiding and loyal companions.
Desra also gave five strategies that graduates can do to become reliable problem-solvers for various problems. The first is knowing yourself. Understand the strengths and weaknesses of each to optimize their potential. Second, knowing what you want. Often this is still not sharp enough. So young people must have clear goals to be able to share benefits with others.
Then also know where we are. According to him, having ambition is good, but graduates must understand their position. If you have a little gas, it's okay to stop for a moment and stroll.
"The fourth and fifth are know the gap and do it. Do concrete things starting small. Pioneering is indeed harder than continuing. So starting from small things, then gradually taking big responsibilities," he said.
Furthermore, Desra said that these five things could be used to deal with a turbulent era and a flood of information. Another key is to understand the complexity of the problem to find a good solution.
"Future generations must be the generation that voices the loudest—trying to put Indonesia in the right position in the global arena. In 2045, the future will be in your hands. I believe you are the future generation destined to become great people," he concluded. (cdr/haq/wil)
