Furthermore, Chairman Ace Hasan expressed that UIN Jakarta, as a state Islamic higher education institution born almost half a century ago initially named ADIA (Academy of Religious Sciences), then IAIN (State Islamic Institute), and finally transformed into UIN (State Islamic University), has produced many alumni who have been active in various professions and fields, both nationally and internationally. "Through the IKALUIN Award 2024, which will be held at the end of May, it is hoped that the influence and contribution of UIN Jakarta's alumni will have a more impactful role in building civility and civilization in Indonesia," he added.

Another goal of the 2024 IKALUIN Award, he continued, is to strengthen the bonds among alumni from ADIA, IAIN, to now UIN, which have so far produced many graduates who have actively contributed to community, national, and state life. The fields of life explored by UIN Jakarta alumni have apparently surpassed their departments, study programs, and faculties.

The influence of UIN alumni in various fields significantly colors the way Indonesian society thinks. Moreover, UIN alumni tend to impart a distinctive style, something that has been termed "Ciputat School of Thought."

Furthermore, as Chairman of Commission VIII of the Indonesian House of Representatives, he stated that through the organization of the 2024 IKALUIN Award, it is hoped to motivate and encourage the public impact of UIN Jakarta alumni to expand further. "And stimulate the roles and contributions of other alumni in various fields for the progress of our beloved country, Indonesia," he concluded.
