The Rector believes that these retirees have given their best for IPB. He also believes that they have done good favors while doing their job in IPB. In previous times, they have become agents to realize IPB in the future.

"For that we have to really prepare for a better future. IPB has to be an adaptive institution and become the trendsetter of change in the future. A good institution is an institution which contributes in the nation's development," he explained.

Meanwhile, IPB will always engage in short-term, middle-term, and long-term actions to help the recovery due to the disaster that struck Palu, Central Sulawesi.

"IPB will give donations and scholarships for the parents of the students from Palu and Donggala who are struck with the disaster. IPB will facilitate students from Palu and Donggala whose family struck by the disaster to go back to their hometown. Beside that, IPB will also reconstruct the agriculture. Palu and Donggala are agriculture, fisheries, and animal husbandry areas which have to be recovered quickly. This is one of the small parts of what we want to give to the people and a manifestation of our commitment to share with the society and nation," he said. (Ard)
