Halal Bihalal in FEB UNDIP is routinely held after every Eid and on Saturdays. The determination of the day is because it is a holiday, so that all lecturers, education staff, and families can attend. On this blessed occasion, Prof. Faisal as the Dean of FEB UNDIP, with humility also apologizes profusely if during his leadership there are shortcomings, both in terms of policy, service, and communication with the entire FEB UNDIP family. He also hopes that this Halal Bihalal moment will be a starting point to strengthen collaboration, forgive each other, and together advance FEB UNDIP in a better direction.

The Chancellor of UNDIP, Prof. Suharnomo, also gave a message about the importance of increasing solidarity and synergy in the academic environment, especially in implementing the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. He emphasized that every academic community, both educators, lecturers, and administrative staff, have an important role. “Beyond your action, not your position,” said Prof. Suharnomo, reminding us that real contribution is more valuable than just a position.

This event also presented a keynote speaker, Prof. Dr. Ali Murtadho, M.Pd from UIN Walisongo, who delivered material on the importance of maintaining friendship and its benefits in life. He also reminded that wealth is a trust, and the best person is one who is able to donate in difficult times. “Silaturahmi is not just a tradition, but an investment in happiness in this world and the hereafter. Every bond of love that we build will be a path to sustenance, a strengthener of brotherhood, and an invitation to blessings. Never underestimate a meeting, because behind a smile and a handshake, there are doors of ease that Allah has opened.”
