UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s PBAK 2025: A Joyful Inauguration of Optimism and Friendship

Yogyakarta, August 20, 2025 – The inauguration of the 2025 Academic and Student Culture Introduction (PBAK) at Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga was marked by warmth, excitement, and a sense of new beginnings. Thousands of freshmen—fondly called Kalijaga Muda—filled the campus, turning the event into more than just a ceremony. It became a celebration of hope, optimism, and transformation.

Delivering the keynote address, Dr. Abdur Rozaki, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Cooperation, urged students to embrace the future with courage and conviction. “Do not look back, but face the future. Your journey must be built with optimism and the belief that change for the better is always possible,” he affirmed.


Dr. Rozaki further highlighted the importance of active student life beyond academics. “The Student Center, with all its facilities, should become your second home,” he encouraged. His message also extended to senior students, calling on them to welcome newcomers with inclusivity and friendship. “Embrace Kalijaga Muda as equals, with extraordinary inclusiveness and camaraderie,” he urged.


The atmosphere grew even livelier with performances from various student organizations (UKM), including the Student Regiment (Menwa), the Islamic Preaching Corps (Kordiska), and the JCM Cinematography Club. Each performance sparked applause, showcasing the diversity of talent and passion that defines UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s campus life.

Closing with awards for academic competitions and words of gratitude, PBAK 2025 left a lasting impression.
