In his remarks, UNNES appreciated the holding of this 14th DET FE. The performance of the FE UNNES from year to year is very satisfying, including being ranked 2nd in the best faculty, ranking 1st on the website and social media, and many other achievements.

One form of implementation of knowledge and education is online seminars, online training, and various other activities that the public can witness while staying at home. The Covid-19 outbreak also provides wisdom for us always to be grateful, worship, help each other to the surrounding community, and still obey the government’s appeal. At the end of his speech, Gus Lukman emphasized that all of us, especially FE UNNES academics, always provide education to the public to increase the national economic stability of the community amid the Covid-19 pandemic.
