On this occasion, Danang Sukantar in his speech revealed that students had to have physical and psychological health. He explained that many graduates did not pass job selection because they were unhealthy which amounted to 25 percent, 60 percent was because of soft skills, the rest was because of administration issue.
"Physical and psychological health are important. Students must be active both in scientific and non-scientific fields. Continuous practice and maintained condition may lead to achievements," he explained.
