National Awakening Day, which is celebrated every May 20, is a momentum to commemorate the birth of the spirit of unity, struggle, and national consciousness of the Indonesian nation in achieving independence. This National Awakening Day is also a reminder and reflection on the importance of collaboration, education, and the spirit of unity as the foundation in building a nation that is advanced and able to compete globally.

The spirit of national awakening is also relevant in facing today’s challenges, especially in the era of globalization and technological developments that continue to move dynamically. In this case, the young generation as the successor of the nation has an important role to continue to foster a critical, innovative attitude, and be able to contribute positively in community life and in the academic world.

Through the commemoration of National Awakening Day, it is hoped that the entire academic community of Communication Studies at Padjadjaran University will be able to strengthen the spirit of learning, collaboration, and real contribution to society. Let’s work together to maintain the value of unity and move forward to realize a superior, inclusive, and sustainable Indonesia.
