Subsequently, remarks were delivered by the Head of the Master’s Program in Islamic Economics, Muhammad Ghafur Wibowo, S.E., M.Sc. He expressed appreciation to the organizing committee and the newly inaugurated executive board, while emphasizing the importance of fostering solidarity, creativity, and courage in managing student organizations within the dynamic context of graduate-level academia.
