“The knowledge we have learned so far is a medium of our connection with the Creator. With this knowledge, we will worship practical knowledge, which must be based on integrity, honesty, truth, and justice. Without the integrity of science, it will only be a mere tool of power and can even harm other people, so we must maintain and uphold integrity in carrying out scientific tasks,” said Prof. Yos.
“Keep moving forward for Undip alumni, don’t give up. Ever forward never retreats. We hope that glory and success will always be on our side,” the Rector concluded. (LW-Public Relations)
