Mr. Tutun Nugraha, the respected Rector of IULI, delivered an impactful opening speech, highlighting the core values of accountability, transparency, and accessibility that will guide the new BEM.

The participants were divided into two groups: those who joined the inauguration in person on campus and those who participated virtually. This hybrid approach enabled students to engage with the proceedings regardless of their physical location, ensuring equal opportunities for involvement.

Behind the scenes, the dedicated KPU (Komisi Pemilihan Umum) team, led by Waraney from the INR 2020 batch, meticulously orchestrated the election and inauguration processes. Their meticulous planning and dedication contributed to the successful execution of the event, ensuring fairness and integrity throughout.

With the new BEM members assuming their roles, a renewed focus on communication and engagement is anticipated.
