Yogyakarta, October 23, 2025 — Thirty-nine civil servants (PNS) of Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sunan Kalijaga Yogyakarta have been officially inaugurated as members of the KORPRI Board for the 2025–2030 period, reinforcing the university’s commitment to integrity, professionalism, and public service.

The inauguration, held in the university’s Convention Hall and attended virtually via Zoom, was led by Prof. Dr. Zudan Arif Fakrulloh, S.H., M.H., Chair of the National KORPRI Council and Head of the National Civil Service Agency (BKN). Despite the hybrid format, the ceremony carried a solemn tone as participants, dressed in the signature KORPRI uniform, pledged to uphold their duties as public servants devoted to the nation.

The event was attended by Rector Prof. Noorhaidi Hasan, vice rectors, and bureau heads, alongside KORPRI members from various faculties and administrative units. The occasion marked a reaffirmation of UIN Sunan Kalijaga’s dedication to strengthening the competence and integrity of its civil apparatus within Indonesia’s public service system.

In his keynote address, Minister of Religious Affairs, Prof. Dr. (K.H.) Nasaruddin Umar, highlighted KORPRI’s strategic role in cultivating professionalism among civil servants and serving as a vital bridge between government policy and public interests. “KORPRI is not just an organization—it is a moral and institutional force ensuring that public servants remain ethical, disciplined, and people-oriented,” he stated.

Under the Ministry of Religious Affairs, KORPRI operates under the coordination of the Secretary General, overseeing programs that nurture integrity, innovation, and social commitment among the ministry’s employees nationwide. The UIN Sunan Kalijaga unit contributes to this network by promoting collaborative governance and strengthening institutional synergy across academic and administrative sectors.

Chairman Prof. Zudan Arif Fakrulloh praised the Ministry of Religious Affairs for its continuous innovation in building an adaptive and socially conscious civil service ecosystem. He commended the “Kemenag Berbagi” initiative as a model of empathy-driven bureaucracy. “Congratulations to all newly inaugurated KORPRI members. May this spirit of solidarity and professionalism continue to grow across the ministry,” he said.

Prof. Zudan also outlined four strategic focuses of the National KORPRI Council: enhancing public service and digitalization, reinforcing the ideological and moral foundations of civil servants, providing legal and career protection, and improving civil servant welfare. These priorities, he emphasized, are key pillars for shaping a resilient and service-oriented bureaucracy.

With their appointment, the KORPRI members of UIN Sunan Kalijaga pledged to strengthen cross-faculty coordination, deliver excellent public service, and embody ethical leadership grounded in the nation’s values of integrity and civility.
