The lights dimmed, the music softened, and the applause rose like a wave
across the Convention Hall. On that unforgettable evening, the 2024 Campus
Ambassadors of UIN Sunan Kalijaga took their final walk — not as individuals
stepping down, but as a team passing the torch to the next generation of
student leaders.
The 2025 coronation wasn’t just about crowns,
titles, or stage presence. It was about continuity.
About how leadership, character, and creativity live on — passed from one
generation to the next through trust, mentorship, and shared purpose.
“Thank you for sailing with us through this
journey,” said Muhammad Satrio Mufid Mafendi, his voice filled with emotion.
“This was more than just a title — it was a voyage of learning and growth.”
His partner, Fitria Dwi Rahmawati, echoed the
sentiment:
“We’re grateful for every opportunity to grow,
and we believe the new ambassadors will carry this mission even further. We’re
signing off — but the journey continues.”
Their farewell wasn’t just symbolic. Two
members of the 2024 delegation couldn’t attend because they’re currently
representing UIN Sunan Kalijaga in Malaysia under a student exchange program —
proof that the role of Campus Ambassador has gone beyond campus borders,
stepping into the global stage.
The moment turned emotional as the 2024 team
made their last catwalk, walking with
pride and nostalgia. Each step told a story — of collaboration, late nights,
challenges overcome, and the quiet victories of making a difference.
As the Rector pinned the honorary badge on
Mufid and Fitria, it marked more than an end — it symbolized legacy. The kind
of leadership that inspires, transforms, and multiplies.
Now, as the 2025 Campus Ambassadors step
forward, they carry a new responsibility: to be the voice and vision of UIN
Sunan Kalijaga’s students. To think critically, act compassionately, and
represent the university’s spirit of inclusivity and innovation wherever they
go.
Because at UIN Sunan Kalijaga, being a Campus
Ambassador isn’t just about standing in the spotlight — it’s about being the light. (humassk)
