Dewi Puspitorini Promotes Digitalization and Solidarity in the 2025 ILUNI UI Election Campaign
Jakarta — The election for Chairperson of the University of Indonesia Alumni Association (ILUNI UI) for the 2025–2028 period is becoming increasingly dynamic with the presence of several candidates. One that has attracted attention is Dr. Dewi Puspitorini, Sp.P, MARS, a 1987 alumna of the UI Faculty of Medicine, who is running with the idea of digital transformation and strengthening solidarity among alumni.
Dewi, who received number 6 in the contest, introduced the vision of “Building a UI Alumni Association that is united, progressive, inclusive, and has a real impact on alumni, alma mater, and the nation towards Golden Indonesia 2045.” She summarized this vision through the tagline “U & I Guyub, U and I become Us” which emphasizes the importance of togetherness as an energy for change.
In her presentation, Dewi assessed that the concept of “guyub” (community) is not only a symbol of unity, but also a key asset for facing future challenges. Therefore, she encouraged the use of technology through the development of the UI Connect platform, which she hopes will become a space for collaboration across generations and professions.
Support for Dewi came from several prominent alumni. Dr. Wawan Mulyawan, Chairman of the ALUNI (National Student Association of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia), assessed Dewi’s track record as demonstrating a significant capacity to unite diverse alumni. He noted her clear vision and ability to embrace multiple generations.
Dewi has extensive experience leading various alumni organizations. She has served as General Secretary and Deputy Chairperson of the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (ILUNI), General Secretary of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences (FIAKSI), and Chairperson of the Indonesian Medical Association (IKAMARS) at the University of Indonesia (UI). Furthermore, her experience as a specialist physician, former Director of the Health Professionals Profession at RSPAD, and personal physician to the President demonstrates her capability in carrying out tasks with significant responsibility.
As part of her campaign, Dewi also initiated the “UI Alumni We Care!” event, held at the IASTH Building in Central Jakarta on August 15, 2025. This event featured a job fair with participation from various industries, an entrepreneurship talk show, an alumni MSME bazaar, and free health check-ups. Musical entertainment was also provided to make the event a space for interaction and sharing benefits, not only for alumni but also for students and the general public.
Through her digitalization initiatives, leadership track record, and commitment to concrete action, Dewi Puspitorini offers a new direction for the UI Alumni Association. She hopes that Indonesia’s largest alumni organization will become an inclusive, competitive, and relevant platform.
