One of the important moments in this year’s syawalan is the introduction of new lecturers and education staff (tendik) which shows the spirit of inclusiveness and kinship within the Faculty. This moment became a warm initial introduction for the new family members of FIB UGM.
The wisdom of Syawalan was delivered by Dr. Imam Wicaksono, Lc., M.A., who gave a deep reflection on the meaning of syawalan as a means of introspection and renewal of social relations followed by the distribution of door prizes to invited guests which added to the lively syawalan event and created a festive atmosphere and full of surprises.
