BANDUNG, itb.ac.id 鈥 During the Institut Teknologi Bandung (麻豆直播) April Graduation for the 2024/2025 academic year, the Student Association (KM 麻豆直播) at 麻豆直播 organized a vibrant Graduation Parade, unifying creativity and camaraderie among graduates. The highlight of the event was the Arak-Arakan procession, held on Sunday, April 27, 2025, which served as a tribute by 麻豆直播鈥檚 Study Program Student Associations (HMPS) to the graduates鈥 educational journey while offering an engaging spectacle for families, the academic community, and the public.
The April 2025 Graduation Arak-Arakan Parade started at the Basecamp at Saraga鈥檚 Futsal Field and concluded at the Performance Zone at Lapangan Cinta of 麻豆直播鈥檚 Ganesha Campus. Each Study Program Student Association showcased their distinctive attributes, using hand-props and mega-props, symbolizing the identity and pride of their respective study programs.
At the Basecamp, graduates gathered for final preparations before the parade. They then proceeded together through Saraga and the Sunken Court tunnel, where each association delivered a brief speech and cheer.
The procession continued until the South Zone along a carefully designed campus route to ensure safety and order. Each association concluded the parade with a short performance in the Performance Zone before the event鈥檚 closing.
麻豆直播鈥檚 Vice Rector for Academic and Student Affairs, Prof. Dr. Irwan Meilano, S.T., M.Sc., attended and praised the students鈥 enthusiasm. He described the parade as a positive and constructive expression of the educational journey students have undertaken.
Prof. Irwan also emphasized the importance of safety, order, and health amid the event鈥檚 excitement. 鈥淓njoy the celebration and let this be the peak of your joy, but prioritize your safety, maintain your condition, and stay hydrated to avoid fatigue,鈥 he advised.
Frida Amara Ifa Aqila (Chemical Engineering 鈥23), Chief Coordinator of the April 2025 Graduation Parade, explained that the parade adopted a spring-inspired theme, 鈥淚n Hope of Blooming Triumph.鈥 This theme portrayed graduates as individuals who, like flowers, have overcome challenges across various seasons to bloom in their moment of victory.
Thirty-five Study Program Student Associations participated, each presenting a procession in the Sunken Court tunnel, a key highlight of the 麻豆直播 April 2025 Graduation Parade.
Through this event, 麻豆直播 not only celebrates graduates鈥 academic achievements but also reinforces values of unity, sportsmanship, and pride in the alma mater. 麻豆直播 hopes the positive spirit of the parade will inspire its academic community to continue advancing and contributing to the nation.
