Present was the Head of UPT Ma'had Al-Jami'ah, Dr. M. Suryadinata M.Ag., who, in his address, urged the students to be inspiring and innovative. He underscored the significance of embodying ethical conduct and lifestyles that align with the principles of the Ma'had Al-Jami'ah students at UIN Jakarta.

"You are all selected individuals from the finest gatherings, and typically, Ma'had Al-Jami'ah students consistently lead the way and are always the alpha," he elucidated.

In a video presentation, H. Anies Rasyid Baswedan, S.E., M.P.P., Ph.D., the Governor of Jakarta from 2017 to 2022, articulated that every student possesses a significant opportunity for character development, competence enhancement, skill augmentation, and network expansion.
