It was important to introduce the UIN Jakarta campus to the public at large. The reason is, although quantitatively the interest in entering the Jakarta UIN every year continues to increase, but that does not mean that socialization is not important.
He also said that UIN Jakarta also needed to provide complete information about the vision and mission and the purpose of its establishment. Not just a matter of academic information, but also a noble mission and orientation towards the nation and state.
