The event took place at Balairung UI on Saturday (August 30) and was designed to provide parents with a comprehensive understanding of the academic environment their children will soon experience.
FTUI Dean, Prof. Kemas Ridwan Kurniawan, S.T., M.Sc., Ph.D., warmly welcomed the parents of new students. On this occasion, he also introduced the faculty leadership and department management of FTUI for the 2022–2026 term. “Your sons and daughters are entering a new phase in their academic journey. The transition from high school to university life is certainly not easy; therefore, the support and trust of parents will play an important role in helping them adapt,” said Prof. Kemas.

The discussion was moderated by Dr. Muhamad Sahlan, S.Si, M.Eng.
In his presentation, Dr. Nyoman emphasized the importance of pursuing higher education at FTUI and explained several key academic regulations, including the procedures for IRS and IDM submissions as well as the academic calendar schedule. Meanwhile, Dr. Romadhani highlighted the importance of mental health and character development as essential aspects of student life. Prof. Harinaldi reinforced FTUI’s firm stance on upholding academic integrity, outlining strict consequences for violations such as cheating, plagiarism, and other forms of academic misconduct.

Through the 2025 Parent Meeting (POM), FTUI aims to strengthen collaboration between the faculty, students, and parents in supporting the academic journey of the new cohort. By providing a comprehensive understanding of the academic system, governance, and available opportunities, parents are expected to become strategic partners in guiding their children through university life. The 2025 POM serves as a tangible step by FTUI in fostering an inclusive, adaptive, and achievement-oriented educational ecosystem for all students.
