These values form part of UNIPMA’s commitment to building an academic culture rooted in national spirit. The university also places the role of its academic community as part of efforts to realize an Indonesia that is empowered, just, and sustainable.

All participants attended the ceremony in an orderly and solemn manner until the entire series of activities was completed. Lecturers and education staff wore UNIPMA’s blue uniforms, while students also took part in the ceremony alongside the university leadership.

The flag-raising ceremony commemorating the 81st Anniversary of the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia at UNIPMA was part of the university’s efforts to maintain the spirit of nationalism amid academic activities. The values of mutual cooperation, innovation, and competitiveness are expected to continue to be applied in everyday campus life.
