Well done, HIMPASKOM 4.0! Hopefully HIMPASKOM UI will continue to be an innovative, inclusive, and collaborative means of idea elaboration, not only for internal Universitas Indonesia, but also for the local community and society as a whole (EMP).

The HIMPASKOM UI symbol has a flower shape with an arrangement of nine crowns in a top perspective. Flowers symbolize the success of the growth of the Graduate Program in Communication, to become a place that produces students so that they can make a positive contribution to the social environment. The nine flower crowns symbolize synergy or unity that is beneficial to the ecosystem. The number nine is the serial number of Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia which is the largest and best number in a single digit number. This represents the organization’s value to continuously develop and contribute to academic and practical competencies. The orange line represents the color of Makara Universitas Indonesia, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences. The white color means sincerity in carrying out activities to provide thoughts and energy to UI and all elements of society. (DLN)
