Dodik Setiawan appreciated JCI for holding several webinars that were relevant to actual legal issues, and to the SAIL that was actively making achievements on competitions at the international level. In addition, Dodik Setiawan also hopes that the next JCI and SAIL management will be able to increase the number of organizational members. Recalling that, human resources are one of the most important things in the implementation of activities.

Dodik Setiawan also reminded the students to keep the spirit in organizing. He also shared how JCI and SAIL have had a long history and outstanding alumni. Dodik Setiawan also shared how he was involved in the founding of JCI and SAIL when he was a student of the IP Faculty of Law. “SAIL is, like my child. JCI is also (like) my own child. So, I hope that all of us can build these organizations to be wider and bring good impact for the academic community of the Faculty of Law of the Universitas Islam Indonesia.”

Dodik Setiawan gave awards to the previous chairman of JCI and SAIL. These awards are given as a form of appreciation from the IP Faculty of Law, for the dedication and hard work of the students in running the organization. The previous chairman of JCI, Akhiruddin Syahputra Lubis, and the President of SAIL, Arief Hasanul Husnan Nasution, received plaques and souvenirs as a symbol of appreciation given by the IP Faculty of Law. In addition, souvenirs were also given for the chairman of JCI for the period 2021-2022, Muhammad Rifaldi Rizmawan. “So that he is not being burned out when carrying out the mandate as the JCI Chairman,” said Dodik Setiawan while symbolically putting a cap on Rifaldi.

According to Rifaldi, the momentum of this Gala Ceremony is the first step for the new JCI management to continue to build good relations and work programs with the faculty. “JCI as a student organization has a significant role in building the ‘horizons’ of IP students. JCI takes the spirit of collaboration and is progressive in welcoming this new period.” (Tazkia)
