Prof. Dr. Sagaf Pettalongi, M.Pd., the Rector of UIN Datokarama Palu, was present to award the graduates. In his address, he praised the hard work and dedication of the graduates during their time at UIN Datokarama Palu.
“Graduation marks not the end of one’s academic and intellectual journey but rather the beginning of real life and intellectual exploration,” said Sagaf Pettalongi.
He further advised the alumni not to take pride solely in the degrees they have earned, as that is not a measure of one’s true character.
” While academic accomplishments hold significance, they do not exclusively define one’s identity. Good moral character stands as one of the most pivotal aspects in shaping one’s identity,” he emphasized.
These newly minted alumni are expected to use the knowledge and values they have acquired during their studies to contribute to the progress of society and the nation.
This graduation ceremony marks a noteworthy milestone in their educational journey, and UIN Datokarama Palu takes pride in being part of their academic achievements.
