Nisa added that there was so much goodness in every corner of the Faculty where she studied.

Prof. Dr. Terry Mart, as the Chairman of the Board of Professors of FMIPA UI, in his speech inspired and motivated the new graduates of FMIPA UI through the story of Steve Job. While the Dean of FMIPA UI, Dr.rer.nat. Abdul Haris in his speech, conveyed to the graduates to continue to develop creativity, so that they can play a role in the eyes of the world to advance and develop science amidst the flow of globalization, he also assured that opportunities are wide open to be able to continue education, career, or become business actors not only in the country but also abroad, for that he hopes that all graduates will not be easily satisfied, but continue to work hard and strive so that later all FMIPA UI graduates will not depend on looking for work but instead create jobs for themselves and for the Indonesian people, as a solution to the nation’s economic problems.
