The role of Multimedia Nusantara University in fostering the spirit of nationalism and upholding diversity does not only stop at one activity. Yenny Wahid’s oration in the Open Senate Session – The Inaugural Lecture of Multimedia Nusantara University last September, is the first step to equip the younger generation to be more wise to respond to the rampant issues of nation division.

Following up on this, Multimedia Nusantara University in graduation XII which this time graduated 669 scholars, presented a state activist Yudi Latif, who was recently also appointed as Head of the Presidential Working Unit of the Pancasila Ideology Stabilization Section (UKP-PIP). Carrying the theme “Bachelor of Excellence and Nationality“, Graduation XII became a form of real commitment of Multimedia Nusantara University in equipping its graduates to be able to provide the best work for alma mater, persada, and others.

Yudi Latif, Head of the Presidential Working Unit of The Establishment of Pancasila Ideology, in the graduation oration XII UMN, Saturday (2/12)

In his oration, Yudi outlined the importance of having a vision in statehood. “The state should have a vision, which is that the happiness of the country must be punished by providing freedom, justice, and prosperity. Differences are not the basis of contention. It is precisely that difference that strengthens the creation of a differentiated and sustainable ecosystem,” he said.

Yudi also advised UMN graduates to not only rely on intelligence, but also to be able to control themselves with the real conditions of their people. “Universities can no longer generalize their resources into one category of intelligence. Because these resources will be renewable resources that will give rise to innovation that is ready to compete in the international world,” he concluded.

Ninok Leksono, Rector of UMN, emphasized that Pancasila is the foundation that must be used as a handle, an important guide, because Pancassila is a philosophy of national and state life. “The ideal people for Indonesia are those who live and practice the five precepts of Pancasila. With that it is expected that UMN alumni will not only excel in the field of science and profession, but in harmony with their society. He is godly, humane, upholds unity, prioritizes deliberation, and fights for social justice,” he said.
