Depok, 4 November 2025 — The Faculty of Administrative Sciences, Universitas Indonesia (FIA UI), took part in enlivening the 2025 UI Parade, one of the largest annual event series at Universitas Indonesia involving 14 faculties and 1 vocational program. Each year, colors, cheers, and student enthusiasm fill the Balairung UI, creating an atmosphere of pride and togetherness.

The UI Parade is not merely an entertainment event, but also serves as the official marker for the opening of three major UI competitions, namely the UI Olympiad (OLIM UI), the Student Scientific Olympiad (OIM UI), and the UI Art War. These three events are among the most anticipated moments for students as platforms to showcase creativity, sportsmanship, and inter-faculty solidarity.

Each contingent presents its identity and creativity through mascots, costumes, and choreographed chants that are prepared long before the day of the event. As a form of appreciation, the UI Parade also features several nominations, such as Best Mascot, which further heighten the competitive spirit among faculties.

FIA UI appeared as the “Semeru” contingent (Serdadu Merah Ungu), carrying the theme “One Goal, One Spirit, One Victory” and using a Gorilla mascot. The Gorilla mascot displayed an angry facial expression with furrowed brows and an open mouth. The anger depicted on the gorilla’s face represents the spirit and resounding ambition to deliver maximum results in every competition category participated in. FIA UI students wore a black dress code and marched together from the New FIA UI Building to the Balairung UI. The festive atmosphere grew stronger as FIA UI’s distinctive chants echoed loudly throughout the Balairung, accompanied by the unfurling of the mascot banner in front of the stands, adding a grand and spirited nuance to the parade.
