Depok-Universitas Indonesia (UI) held the 2025 Student Achievement Appreciation, on June 13, 2025, at the UI Depok Campus Convention Hall. This activity not only celebrated the achievements of individuals, but also celebrated the spirit of UI students who succeeded in proving their quality and competence.
UI Rector, Prof. Dr. Ir. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU, in his speech said that UI students, in addition to achieving, also need to increase their skills through involvement in Student Activity Units (UKM) or organizations. He said, “Students must know what they do or what contributions they make after graduating from UI. For that, make sure you know what impacts you can get from the organizations or activities you participate in on campus, both for your family and the surrounding environment.”
He also hopes that the achievements of students in academics, sports, arts, and community service, both at national and international levels, can be useful in the future. “We hope that these outstanding students can provide a positive impact on society both now and in the future,” said Prof. Heri.
The series of activities of “UI Student Appreciation 2025” began with the awarding of appreciation to UKM and UI students who succeeded in making achievements in the fields of reasoning, sports, arts and culture, to community service. Furthermore, from 17 Bachelor and Diploma students, UI selected 7 categories of Outstanding Students which were determined based on psychological tests, curriculum vitae, innovation ideas, and English proficiency tests.
The 1st Main Champion of the UI Most Outstanding Student Selection (Pilmapres) was won by Josia Nathanael Wiradikarta from the Faculty of Medicine. He also won the Best Health Cluster and Best English Category. Meanwhile, the 2nd Main Champion of the UI Pilmapres was won by Fauzan Abdillah Azzam from the Faculty of Psychology who also won the Outstanding Achievement and Best Curriculum Vitae categories as well as the Best Social-Humanities Category.

Josia as the Main Champion of UI’s Outstanding Students shared her impressions during the 2025 UI Pilmapres. “Honestly, I did not expect to be the champion. However, I am very grateful, Praise God, to be able to be the champion. Hopefully this can motivate other student friends to be more enthusiastic about achieving. Believe that being active and achieving not only increases connections, but is also beneficial for the future, especially after graduating from university,” he said.
