In addition to the Independence Day greeting, the poster also incorporates the values of Silih Asih, Silih Asah, Silih Asuh and includes information on Pakuan University’s new student admissions.

Ferry concluded his statement with a hopeful message: “Through this poster, I want to emphasize that independence is not just a symbol—it must be filled with education, creativity, and service to the nation. Pakuan University is a place that shapes excellent, independent, and strong-charactered individuals who are ready to continue the struggle.”
