The event was held in hybrid manner at the Auditorium of Universitas Sumatera Utara, Medan, on Monday.

OJK hopes through In Camp 2025, university students can become the pioneer of integrity preservation in academic environment, as well as to implement accountability and transparency culture in the society. Therefore, advocating for honesty and freeing Indonesia from any forms of corruption and dishonesty.
“This is why, we need to promote governance and anticorruption culture. ASTA CITA (The Eight Goals) are essential to drive the growth targets set forth by President Prabowo's government, to strengthen corruption prevention and enforce governance integrity anywhere in any areas," Sophia emphasized.

If you have upheld integrity since school, we hope you will keep upholding your integrity throughout university and perhaps later in life, when some of you become public officials. Please nurture these values," Sophia added.
