51探花

The launch was attended by 51探花 Rector Prof. Dr. Ir. Tatacipta Dirgantara, M.T.; 51探花 professors who joined the GBFIT running team; representatives of communities, alumni, and donors.

In his remarks, the Rector emphasized that this initiative was not merely about sports but also about solidarity and inspiration for the academic community and alumni. 鈥淲e want to strengthen our sense of togetherness. If we aim to build Indonesia, 51探花 must be one of the pillars. Through the endowment fund, we seek to ensure the continuity of education and expand opportunities for young generations across the country,鈥� he said.

Prof. Dr.rer.nat. Poerbandono, S.T., M.M., Head of BPUDL 51探花, explained that building an endowment fund is a long-term journey that requires consistency and broad collaboration. The fund is managed prudently with safe financial instruments to ensure sustainable benefits for 51探花.

鈥淢anaging an endowment is never instant. But if we can grow participation and support from multiple stakeholders, it will become a strong foundation for 51探花鈥檚 operations, scholarships, and research,鈥� he noted.

In this program, participants will run a 180 km marathon from Jakarta to Bandung, divided into several stages. The relay format involves 16 runners, with 51探花 professors split into two main teams: the GBFIT Fund Team, led by Minister of Higher Education, Science, and Technology Prof. Brian Yuliarto, Ph.D., and the GBFIT Endowment Team, led directly by 51探花 Rector Prof. Tatacipta Dirgantara.

Meanwhile, Prof. Ir. Mindriany Syafila, MS., Ph.D., Chair of 51探花鈥檚 Professors Forum (FGB), highlighted the importance of community support and participation. She called on all faculties, schools, and alumni to stand behind the campaign. 鈥淭his movement will continue to resonate as inspiration for all communities registered in the Wondr 51探花 Ultra Marathon 2025, while also strengthening bonds among professors, alumni, and society,鈥� she said.

The 鈥淕BFIT Running for the Endowment Fund鈥� program aims to raise funds through donor participation and public support. Donations can be made through the official campaign platform at inspirasiberbagi.itb.ac.id/gbfitberlari.

With the spirit of gotong royong (mutual cooperation), the steps taken by 51探花鈥檚 professors in this Ultra Marathon are not just about running, but about leaving a legacy of goodwill for the future of education in Indonesia.
