On this occasion, The UNDIP’s Rector, Prof. Yos Johan Utama gave a speech and opened the 2020 pendikar event. Yos said that one of the basic foundations of the Universitas Diponegoro, namely the Pancasila ideology, we tried to carry out all activities in Undip based on the Pancasila principles, so that there would be no conflict between interests.

“The values mentioned above must be in our identity, especially students who will become the nation’s future successors. Therefore, a character is formed in Undip consisting of communicator, professional, leadership, entrepreneurial and educate characteristics,” said the Rector. It was hoped that the orientation of this character could make a complete Undip’s graduate.
