We have to also be able to solve problems critically and develop innovations as the solutions. We are the generation who will build Indonesia in the future.
Mr. Triyono appreciated the committee for establishing the festival. In his speech, he stated that student activity was a good and right way to build motivation and creativity as well as as a form of very powerful energy for Unimus and the Faculty of Economics. He added that “Many things have weakened the spirit of the student movement as well as made Indonesia be in a little unfruitful situation. Thus, positive efforts and criticisms from students are good things. These efforts have to be started from self and then Muhammadiyah so that good moral characters can be built.” The event proves that Unimus always supports the development of the students’ creativities in various spheres. With the supports, it is hoped that the students can optimize their achievements either academically or non-academically.
