In the future, the global challenge is going to be tight. However, Alumni of Islamic University of Indonesia are not supposed to be inferior. They must be proud since they have an opportunity to obtain education in the present era when a false dichotomy between Public University and Private University no longer exist. Nowadays, the companies who provide job vacancy are not concerned about the graduate’s educational background. Nevertheless, in hiring their employee, the employers look at the competence and the professionalism of the applicant. Thus, it is necessary to improve UII graduate student‘s competence and professionalism. This was revealed by the representative of UII Alumni, Drs. Sutanto, MBA while delivering his speech at the UII Graduation Ceremony which was conducted on Saturday (01/28).
