I congratulate the graduates who obtained the cum laude predicate and let us give applause for the achievements obtained by the graduates.
The newly graduated graduates are expected to always show their best performance, be able to provide solutions to various problems that exist in the workplace to become a friendly, humble person and be able to interact with everyone, said the Acting Daily Rector, Dr. Irwandi, M.Sn. in his speech. He further said that your role as alumni is not only to build a positive image of ISI Yogyakarta in the eyes of the public. Alumni have a big role to increase the value of the Main Performance Indicator (IKU) which is currently used as a parameter for university performance. IKU will be assessed from graduates getting decent jobs, students getting off-campus experience, lecturers doing off-campus activities, teaching practitioners on campus, study programs partnering with world-class partners, collaborative and participatory classes and international standard study programs. As alumni, they are expected to share information related to internship and work opportunities, involve ISI Yogyakarta lecturers in collaborating in various activities, pave the way for signing MoUs and other cooperation documents and return to campus to share knowledge through teaching practitioner programs. And no less important, the alumni are eager to fill in the tracer study because it is important for ISI Yogyakarta to get an overview of alumni absorption in the world of work.
