UNPAR.AC.ID, Bandung – The Rector of Parahyangan Catholic University (UNPAR) officially inaugurated 42 structural officials for the October 2023 – September 2024 term on Monday (2/10/2023) at the Arntz-Geise Learning Center (PPAG) Auditorium, UNPAR. Additionally, the previous structural officials were honorably discharged with the highest appreciation.
The honorable discharge and inauguration of the structural officials were attended by B. Hendra Kimawan, OSC, L.Th., Chairman of the UNPAR Foundation Board; Prof. Tri Basuki Joewono, Ph.D., Rector of UNPAR; Dr. Henky Muljana, S.T., M.Eng., Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs; Gery Lusanjaya, S.E., M.T., Vice Rector for Finance, Resources, and Organization; Ir. Catharina Badra Nawangpalupi, Ph.D., Vice Rector for Cooperation, Alumni, Innovation, and Business; Sylvia Yazid, S.IP., MPPM., Ph.D., University Secretary; and UNPAR lecturers and education staff.
In his welcoming speech, B. Hendra Kimawan, OSC, L.Th., Chairman of the UNPAR Foundation Board, congratulated the newly inaugurated officials. He also expressed hope that this inauguration would enable UNPAR to continue advancing rapidly, especially given the constant changes in the world of education. “Congratulations to the newly inaugurated structural officials. Hopefully, this inauguration brings new spirit to continuously ensure UNPAR doesn’t just stay in place, but can run and advance rapidly,” he stated. He further advised the Rector and the new structural officials to manage expectations and risks. “Don’t let expectations be excessively inflated; humility and realism are needed. Don’t ignore risks either; address them with careful consideration and caution. Don’t be afraid to take risks. If fear persists, progress can be hampered, and UNPAR won’t be able to run and advance rapidly,” he advised.
On the other hand, UNPAR Rector Prof. Tri Basuki Joewono, Ph.D., extended his gratitude to the officials who had completed their duties. “Thank you to the officials who have completed their duties. We all thank them,” he said. The UNPAR Rector added that these new officials will certainly guide UNPAR’s journey forward. They won’t just lead themselves, but will transcend themselves and their units to influence the entire university. “Today, the baton of structural officials has been passed to the next generation. This new generation will carry the task of realizing UNPAR’s vision in striving to achieve UNPAR 2040,” said the UNPAR Rector. (KTH-Humkoler UNPAR)
