The Director of the ITB Cirebon Campus Directorate, Dr. Ir. Iwan Kustiwan, M.T., cordially welcomed all the students participating in the event: "Welcome to the ITB Cirebon Campus. Congratulations on joining other fellow students who have already been on the campus and started studying here."

Dr. Iwan Kustiwan stated that the event served to welcome 2023 Joint Preparation Stage (TPB) students who had completed TPB at the ITB Jatinangor Campus, so as to familiarize them with their new campus. Hopefully, the event could help students adapt to the new learning environment, including the social and academic communities at the ITB Cirebon Campus.

In total, there were 310 students from the class of 2023 who would begin academic activities this September at the ITB Cirebon Campus. They originated from seven study programs across four faculties and one school, namely Mining Engineering, Geophysics Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering (from the Faculty of Mining and Petroleum Engineering); Industrial Engineering (from the Faculty of Industrial Technology); Urban and Regional Planning (from the School of Architecture, Planning, and Policy Development); Crafting (from the Faculty of Arts and Design); and Oceanography (from the Faculty of Earth Sciences and Technology).

Meanwhile, the event's chief organizer, Yahya Abdul Dzaki (from Urban and Regional Planning '21), revealed that magic was the main theme this year.

"This theme is expected to create a stunning atmosphere that also encourages curiosity and enthusiasm, so that the welcoming event feels more special and memorable. As such, every moment will not be forgotten," Yahya clarified.
