In addition to being attended by the academic community of IBI Kesatuan Bogor, the inauguration of the new rector was also attended by the Mayor of Bogor, Bima Arya.
The Bogor City Government and IBIK Kesatuan have had a cooperation model since 2017, which includes assistance for MSMEs, a selection team for officials, student internships, and so on. I request that special attention be given to IBI Kesatuan, as Bogor’s tourism sector will continue to be a key focus in the future. The tourism program here must truly meet market demands, including its computer science program adapting to the digital age, cashless transactions, and so on,” stated Bogor Mayor Bima Arya Sugiarto.
“Of course, this must be part of Bogor City’s planning, both in terms of infrastructure and human resources (HR),” added Bima Arya, Mayor of Bogor.
