“Your journey has not been easy as you have faced various academic, organizational, and personal challenges. However, you have reached this point through your resilience and outstanding commitment. You have not only earned a degree but also become part of a learning community that upholds integrity, cooperation, and contribution to the nation,” Didi said during the graduation ceremony of the Master of Management Program held at UGM MM Campus Yogyakarta on Tuesday evening (April 22, 2025). Meanwhile, the graduation ceremony for the Master of Development Economics, Accounting, and the Master of Science and Doctoral programs took place after the university-level procession on Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
