To the Pioneering Batch of the Bachelor of Arts in Literary and Cultural Studies,
Every page read, every theory explored, every paper rewritten, every conversation that challenged your perspectives, and every challenge you overcame became part of a journey worth cherishing.
Like the Little Prince's rose, this program became meaningful because of the time, care, and heart you devoted to it. As the pioneering batch, you did more than earn a degreeโyou nurtured the roots of a program, shaped its identity, and began a legacy that future generations of Literary and Cultural Studies students will continue to build upon.
You leave not only with knowledge, but with the ability to read the world with empathy, question it with courage, and reimagine it through the power of stories, cultures, and critical thought.
As you embark on new journeys, may you carry with you the same curiosity that led you here and the conviction to create spaces where stories are heard, cultures are valued, and humanity is better understood.
