She also cited the motto “esse quam videri” — to be, rather than to seem.

Representing the prospective graduates, Rahma Fitriyani from the Undergraduate Business Administration Program expressed her gratitude and enthusiasm to contribute as a young professional. “Graduation is a stage, not proof.

Ahead, there will be more challenges to face,” she remarked to the graduates.
