Faculty of Law UII Students Elected as Dimas Yogyakarta City 2021

Alhamdulillah, a student of the Faculty of Law of the Universitas Islam Indonesia (FH UII), was chosen to be Dimas at Dimas Diajeng Jogja City 2021. He is Muhammad Rafif Taufiqurrahman Susanto, batch 2018 from the Regular program, Undergraduate Study Program.

Rafif was elected as Dimas Kota Jogja which was announced at the peak of the election for Dimas Diajeng with the Coronation of Dimas Diajeng Kota Jogja 2021 which was held virtually, Saturday, June 12, 2021. The public can watch the event live through the YouTube channel of the Yogyakarta City Tourism Office.

Head of Yogyakarta City Tourism Office, Wahyu Hendratmoko, S.E., M.M. as the person in charge of organizing the 2021 Dimas Diajeng Election, said that the implementation of the final night of the Dimas Diajeng election is expected to bring up Jogja youths who will become Tourism Ambassadors and also Yogyakarta City Cultural Ambassadors, who will later take on the big responsibility to maintain it as a City of Tourism. Of course, by not leaving the existing ancestral cultural values. By participating in the election of Dimas Diajeng Jogja City, it is an opportunity to play an active role in promoting and developing Yogyakarta City tourism.

Rafif enrolled in the Dimas Diajeng event in the City of Jogja because he was worried about the younger generation whose identity was starting to erode due to the negative effects of globalization, and also brought his background as a law student to try to contribute to the cultural and tourism sector of the City of Yogyakarta which experienced a decline due to the Pandemic (Covid-19).

“Alhamdulillah, thank you for all the support. Participating in the Dimas Diajeng event in Jogja City has shaped me into a better person and I know myself better than before. The Dimas Diajeng Jogja Society taught me many useful things and got to know many great people during the process. The big responsibility that is carried out must continue to be carried out and of course without forgetting my identity as a student of the Faculty of Law UII, I must remain consistent and responsible with the mandate that I carry as a student and as Dimas Kota Jogja”. – said Rafif to us when interviewed via WhatsApp short message.

Congratulations, Rafif, for the achievements that have been achieved! Hopefully istiqomah, always able to bring the good name of the university to act as ulul albab, enlightener, and rahmatan lil ‘alamiin carrying UII’s mission! Spirit!
