On Wednesday, February 12, 2025, lecturers at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI) held a solemn religious gathering. This event was led by Dr. Sumanang Muhtar Ghozali, M.Si., who delivered a meaningful lecture on the importance of maximizing one’s potential. He emphasized that if a person has the ability to grow but chooses not to, they are actually committing injustice or sin against themselves.
This gathering was not only a moment of reflection for the lecturers but also an opportunity to strengthen ties among academics. In a warm and engaging atmosphere, participants attentively listened to Dr. Sumanang’s message, which encouraged them to continuously enhance their competencies and provide greater benefits to society through education.
During the event, a simple thanksgiving session was also held for young lecturers who had recently joined UPI. This activity fostered a sense of camaraderie within the academic environment, strengthened relationships among educators, and served as a reminder of the importance of continuous growth for collective progress.
Through this religious gathering, it is hoped that lecturers will become more motivated to develop themselves and maintain solidarity within the academic community. This event served as a reminder that the responsibility of an educator is not limited to the transfer of knowledge but also includes self-improvement and setting an example for students and society at large.
