According to him, amid the rapid advancement of digital technology, communication professionals are required to move swiftly and adaptively while continuing to uphold ethics and responsibility.
“The age of 20 is an agile and energetic stage of life. However, in today’s digital era, we must not merely pursue virality. Every message delivered must take into account legal aspects, ethics, and conscience. Fikom Untar must become a stronghold that produces communicators who are both intelligent and responsible,” he emphasized.

“The theme of resonance carries the meaning of collaboration. Good communication is not only about delivering messages, but also ensuring that those messages are well received and create a positive impact. Therefore, Fikom Untar continues to strengthen cooperation with industries, communities, alumni, and various other strategic partners,” she said.
