Universitas Gajayana (UNIGA) Malang has ushered in a new
chapter for its Student Executive Board (BEM). On Thursday (Jan 8, 2026), at
the Postgraduate Hall, the Rector of Uniga Malang, Prof. Dr. Ernani Hadiati,
officially inaugurated Hendra Muansyah as Student Body President (Presiden
Mahasiswa) and Mutmainnah as Vice Student Body President of BEM UNIGA
Malang for the 2025–2026 tenure.
The ceremony featured a handover of leadership from the
outgoing President for the 2024–2025 period, Julianto. The presence of the
former president demonstrated full support as the baton of leadership was
officially passed to his successors.
In his remarks, Julianto expressed optimism for the incoming
board. He voiced hope that the achievements built during the previous period
would be continued and elevated by the Hendra–Mutmainnah duo.
"We lend our full support to the new cabinet. Handing
over this leadership baton symbolizes that the student struggle must never
cease. I am confident that under Hendra and Mutmainnah's leadership, BEM UNIGA
Malang will become increasingly progressive," Julianto stated.
In his inaugural address, the newly appointed President,
Hendra Muansyah, emphasized that BEM in this period must be an organization
that genuinely represents all students without exception. He introduced a
leadership vision centered on inclusivity and collaboration.
Hendra highlighted that his primary focus is to unite all
campus elements so they align on the same wavelength.
"Our hope is that this year's BEM can truly serve as a
representation for every student. We want to foster an inclusive and
collaborative space. Most importantly, our ultimate objective is to ensure that
all students and the academic community operate in synergy toward a shared
goal," Hendra affirmed.
Furthermore, Hendra called on all students to reclaim their
core identity as agents of change. He envisioned UNIGA Malang not merely as an
institution of learning, but as an active driver of real transformation.
The inauguration—attended by university leaders and
representatives from various student organizations—concluded with a group photo
session and congratulations from the academic community, who place high
expectations on the shoulders of the 2025–2026 BEM UNIGA Malang leadership
team.
