You must uphold this integrity wherever you may be and whatever profession you may pursue in the future.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, these are your sons and daughters who, during the 2018 or 2019 Freshman Orientation Program (PPSMB), were entrusted to us at the UGM Faculty of Law so that we could educate them, teach them about legal knowledge, and—most importantly—instill in them the values of mature learning. Today, on behalf of the UGM Faculty of Law and the entire academic community, allow us to send off your sons and daughters as they embark on the next stage of their journey to become legal professionals—all made possible by your help, support, prayers, and sacrifices. “So, dear graduates, let us express our most sincere gratitude to your parents,” said Jaka Triyana as he led the audience in paying tribute to the parents of the graduates.
Congratulations to the graduates of the UGM Faculty of Law’s undergraduate program, third graduation period. May the knowledge you have gained be of use to your fellow citizens, as well as to the nation and the country!
