During the event, Octen Suhadi, MM, Chairman of IKA Faperta IPB University, emphasised the importance of cooperation between alumni and faculty to help students succeed in the world of work. “We hope that activities like this can continue to be held regularly to facilitate students in developing their careers,” he said.
