Koesrindartoto, Ph.D. (Director of BPUDL) also joined the squad for relay running, which started from Plaza Mandiri Jakarta, continued to Bogor, Puncak, Cianjur, Padalarang, and finished at Sabuga ITB.
The deans, vice deans, and Director of BPUDL were running enthusiastically to fulfill their commitment to raise endowment funds, despite having to run after midnight, through uphill paths and in the rain at several locations. Started on Friday (10/03/2023) at 9 p.m. by Jaka Sembiring, they completed the race in Sabuga ITB as the last runner Wahyu Srigutomo finished Sunday morning (12/03/2023) at 02.15 a.m.
In addition to the spirit of running, the deans encouraged all alumni and stakeholders to contribute to their faculties/schools through endowment funds. Endowment funds are collected through the platform inspirationberbagi.itb.id, allowing the donors to select Faculty/School so that the donations will be recorded as endowment funds for the respective Faculty/School. On the fifth day following the event, endowment funds have already surpassed IDR180 million. The funds will be managed by BPUDL to support Faculty/School programs.
