Accelerating Infrastructure at the Cikasungka Campus
Beyond curriculum milestones and upcoming internship schedules, the discussions in Bogor addressed the physical expansion necessary to support training goals. Governor Donny detailed the ongoing construction progress of the university’s new facilities situated in Cikasungka, Bogor.
This physical infrastructure project forms part of the government’s strategy to develop facilities for leadership education and training. By establishing dedicated campuses, the state aims to prepare human resources that are superior, have integrity, and are ready to take a role in national development and leadership.
As construction advances in West Java, the goal remains for URI to produce national leaders who are resilient, academically superior, and possess strong nationalism.
