Bandung, 28 Oktober 2025 – As an alumnus of the Library and Information Science Program at Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia (UPI), I am proud to have been part of an academic environment that fosters scholarship, integrity, and service. The knowledge I gained at UPI has provided a strong foundation for my studies in the Information Studies Program at Chulalongkorn University, while broadening my perspective on the crucial role of information management in the digital era.

This journey has taught me that the world of information is not merely about library management, but about the distribution of knowledge that drives change and meaningful impact. Let us, as librarians, information managers, and young information scientists, continue to serve as bridges between knowledge and humanity to innovate, collaborate, and make a lasting difference in society.
