UTB Confers Degrees at 25th Graduation, Urges Graduates to Thrive in AI Era

Universitas Teknologi Bandung (UTB) celebrated a significant milestone with its 25th graduation ceremony, officially recognizing 115 graduates from its various departments. The event, held at Harris Hotel & Convention Festival Citylink Bandung, saw graduates conferred degrees by UTB Rector Dr. Muchammad Naseer.

Distinguished guests, including Head of LLDIKTI Region IV Dr. Lukman and former Minister of Trade Gita Irawan Wirjawan, addressed the graduating class. Dr. Lukman stressed the critical need for graduates to be prepared for the rapid changes of the digital transformation era. He advised that success hinges not only on academic achievement but also on the ability to adapt, build networks, and maintain integrity.

Dr. Lukman urged the graduates to cultivate a strong moral compass and an "agile mindset", one that is open to change, quick to learn, and adaptable to evolving times. He encouraged them to pursue accelerated self-development through enhanced competencies, professional experience, and cross-disciplinary collaboration, noting the abundant opportunities for those who move swiftly and continuously develop their capabilities.

Introducing the 'JAGO' concept, Dr. Lukman described it as an acronym for Jejaring (Networking), Adaptif (Adaptable), Gesit (Agile), and Orisinal (Original). He implored UTB graduates to embody these traits: build extensive networks, adapt readily to change, act agilely in the face of challenges, and remain original in their work and problem-solving for the benefit of society. Rector Dr. Naseer echoed these sentiments, expressing his hope that the graduates would be adaptive, innovative, and ready to contribute to society, the nation, and the country.
