Assalamu’alaikum Wr. Wb., Shalom, Om Swastiastu, Namo Buddhaya, Salam Kebajikan, Peace be upon us all.

We give thanks to the Almighty God for His blessings and grace, as we are reflecting on UKDW’s journey and commitment to fulfilling its vision and mission, while showcasing the dedication of the entire academic community in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education.

For 2024-2025, UKDW will sharpen its focus on the UKDW SERU vision, which emphasizes the university as an “Inclusive and Sustainable Campus.” This vision encourages the academic community to engage in activities that promote inclusivity, sustainable development, and social responsibility. UKDW is committed to incorporating the principles of inclusion and sustainability into all aspects of campus life, from resource management to community outreach. Driven by a spirit of collaboration and innovation, UKDW strives to make a positive impact both locally and globally.

Building on achievements such as enhanced academic quality, outstanding research development, and growing international collaborations, UKDW has laid out strategic plans for the future. These plans aim to strengthen the university’s standing as a globally competitive and distinguished institution. The primary goals moving forward include improving educational quality, fostering human resource development, and strengthening partnerships with various sectors, including Business, Industry, and the Workforce (DUDIKA), as well as educational institutions both domestically and internationally.

A key strategic initiative currently underway is the development of Campus 2, starting with the construction of the Duta Wacana Hospital. This hospital is expected to become a center for academic-based education, research, and healthcare services. It will support the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and contribute meaningfully to enhancing healthcare quality in the community. Meanwhile, the development of Campus 2 will accommodate UKDW’s growth and provide space for advancing study programs with a focus on innovation and entrepreneurship.

Every step UKDW takes is grounded in the Duta Wacana Core Values: Obedience to God, Walking in Integrity, Striving for Excellence, and Service to the World. These values guide every decision and action, serving as strong pillars for achieving UKDW’s vision. By upholding these principles, UKDW is committed to producing graduates who are professional, humanistic, culturally aware, and ready to face global challenges.

May God bless us all.
