The event served as a meaningful gathering that brought together alumni from across generations in a warm, nostalgic, and collaborative atmosphere.

Carrying the theme “The Present is the Key to the Past and the Future,” the reunion was more than just a nostalgic get-together—it was a platform for sharing inspiration and reflecting on the long journey of Geological Engineering as a vital discipline in Indonesia’s academic and professional landscape.

The day began with morning registration, a fun walk, and the informal Amigos Corner to set a relaxed and friendly tone. The event continued in the ballroom with a traditional tumpeng cutting ceremony, symbolizing gratitude for the 45-year legacy of the Geological Engineering Study Program.

In his opening remarks, Yudistian Yunis, the Event Chair, expressed that the reunion celebrated not only togetherness but also the lasting contributions of Geological Engineering alumni across various sectors. He highlighted that the spirit of unity formed during university years continues to grow stronger with time.

Bonny Nicholas, Chair of both IKA FTKE and IKA GEOSAKTI, emphasized the importance of alumni synergy in tackling today’s and tomorrow’s challenges. He underlined the significant role that Geological Engineering graduates can play in shaping sustainable development through scientific and professional approaches.

Maman Abdurrahman, Chair of IKA Trisakti, also shared his appreciation for the event, stating that the slogan “Back to Barracks” is not merely about returning to campus—it’s about reaffirming the commitment of the Trisakti family to support one another, uphold the dignity of the alma mater, and contribute actively to building a better and more competitive Trisakti.

The event’s highlights were two engaging panel discussions.
The first, titled “How Being a Geologist Shapes Professional Success,” featured accomplished alumni: Agus Guntoro, Soni Budi Wicaksono, and Sinchia Dewi, who shared their professional journeys and insights.
The second panel, “How Geologists Drive Change,” included Pulung Arya Pranantya, Gesit Mutiarta, and Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, discussing the broader impact of geologists in driving social, environmental, and public policy transformations.
