Meanwhile, the representative of the Unmul Alumni Family Association (IKA), Dr Hj Meiliana assessed that the theme raised by DPD HA IPB East Kalimantan was very appropriate. The existence of this gathering is to strengthen the relationship of one alumni with other alumni. “I had exchanged mobile phone numbers with the alumni of IPB East Kalimantan to increase the family network. Considering all the alumni of IPB East Kalimantan, many are involved in the government and some work in the East Kalimantan Governor’s Office,” she said.
“Not only that, I see that some of the alumni of IPB East Kalimantan have become coal entrepreneurs to palm oil entrepreneurs. Hopefully, the various professions that exist throughout East Kalimantan will add to our cohesiveness to support the development of IKN in the future,” she concluded. (pms/as/Rz) (IAAS/RUM)
