She hoped that PBI graduates must be sincere and honest workers. “I hope for friends who have graduated, including me, whatever profession is chosen later, whatever profession is undertaken, we can all work sincerely and honestly,” she said.
There were different things from this graduation from the previous UMY graduation where graduates were given a gift in the form of Al-Quran. The aim of giving Al-Quran to all graduates was to remind them that if they want to succeed, they need to hold Al-Quran in the right hand and Diploma in left hand. In his speech, UMY Rector, Dr. Ir Gunawan Budiyanto, M. P. in his speech, shared and hoped that all graduates would always draw closer to Allah SWT. “This graduation was different from the common one, where graduates were given mementos in the form of identical objects with UMY, but this time they were given the Qur’an. This Quran hopefully will be their guide to navigate their future, ” he said.
