On Friday, October 3, 2025, Universitas Padjadjaran held the Aleut-Aleutan and Padaya 2025 event, which involved all faculties and the university rectorate. This event was a collaboration between Unpad’s 68th Anniversary (Dies Natalis) and the Big Force Festival 2025. The collaboration reflected the creativity and teamwork of the entire Unpad academic community in fostering a spirit of togetherness. Moreover, the event promoted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a form of Unpad’s commitment to sustainable development.
The event began with Aleut-Aleutan, a parade competition among faculties heading toward the main gathering point at GOR Jati. This long march started at 3:30 p.m., with the Faculty of Communication Studies (Fikom) joining at 4:30 p.m. The lively parade was filled with cheers, faculty chants, and creative campaigns highlighting the SDG themes. Fikom appeared united, dressed in black outfits with green and yellow accessories, colors symbolizing Fikom Unpad’s pride, identity, and enthusiasm.
Upon arriving at GOR Jati, Fikom Unpad presented performances by the Commander (Communication Main Dancer) community and Hooligarkom (Hooligan Warga Fikom) student club, followed by a speech from the President of BEM Fikom Unpad before the judges. After the performance, Fikom students were directed to the tribunes to watch the next series of events. The program continued with remarks from the Rector of Unpad, the Chairperson of the Anniversary Committee, the President of BEM Unpad, and the Project Officer of Big Force Festival 2025. During the event, Fikom Unpad proudly earned 2nd Place in the Creative Long March: SDGs Campaign competition.
A significant contribution also came from students of Ilmu Komunikasi (Ilkom) Unpad, who actively participated throughout the event. One of them, Reihan Rachman, a 2025 Communication Studies student, wore the official Fikom Unpad mascot costume during the entire parade. In addition, many Ilkom students were part of Hooligarkom, who led and enlivened the Aleut-Aleutan and Padaya 2025 activities with enthusiasm and creativity.
The participation of Fikom and Ilkom Unpad in this event serves as tangible proof of the collaboration, solidarity, and creativity among students, lecturers, and academic staff in strengthening the values of unity and supporting the goals of sustainable development within the university environment.
Furthermore, the implementation of this event aligns with SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals, which is reflected in the collaboration among faculties, student organizations, and the rectorate in creating an inclusive and sustainable event. Through this synergy, Unpad demonstrates that cross-campus cooperation can bring meaningful positive impacts, both in strengthening academic community solidarity and in promoting the principles of the SDGs within higher education
