Academicians of Universitas Muhamamdiyah Yogyakarta (UMY) should have integrity to develop this national. Education degrees may not drive them not to watch their attitudes.
In Yudisium of Graduate School of UMY of period I 2017/2018 on Friday (20/10) at building of Kasman Singodimejo, Director of Graduate School of UMY Sri Atmaja P. Rosyidi, S.T., M.Sc.Eng., Ph.D., Peng. Stated that a degree title is not a final goal of learners. “Educations should lead people to be aware of the magnificence of Allah and their duties as caliphs on earth so that they can distinguish good and bad. Recently, many people think that higher educational degrees can be a parameter of someone’s competence. Therefore, individuals of UMY should possess integrity in order that their education will not be in vain,” declared Sri.

I wish that these graduates can solve the issues can become new Kyai and Nyai Dahlan in their field,” he asserted.
