The Dean of the FMIPA UNEJ, Prof. Drs. Dafik, M.Sc., Ph.D., encouraged the new class of 2026 to chant the slogan at the beginning of the new student inauguration speech at the FMIPA UNEJ PPKMB. (8/8) “The FMIPA UNEJ, Be Creative, Innovative, Achieve!!!,” said the Dean, as all participants followed. He stated that the slogan embodies the spirit of new students, a generation that is imbued with creativity, innovation, and achievement. “FMIPA students must be creative, which will be recognized by the SKPI, and to achieve this, they must be able to innovate to achieve success at all levels of study and in competitions,” he continued. The Dean also expected new students to apply the FMIPA jargon to the fullest, aligning with the FMIPA tagline, “3.5 to the power of 4.”

This aligns with the 2026 UNEJ PKKMB theme, “Innovative Work Creates an Excellent and Impactful Generation,” and the tagline, “Excellent, Innovative, Impactful.” Prof. Dafik stated that the 3.5 to the power of 4 is very appropriate. First, FMIPA students should aim for their thesis exams within 3.5 years, and second, they should aim for a GPA of 3.5 to compete in the job market. “The next 3.5 represents the 3.5-month waiting period for FMIPA graduates to find employment, and finally, 3.5 million is the first salary FMIPA graduates receive,” said the Dean, who was accompanied by the Vice Deans, Head of Department Secretaries, Study Program Coordinators, the Head of General Affairs, and the Deputy Coordinators.
