DENPASAR – To celebrate its 34th anniversary, Universitas Udayana Graduate School held a series of activities focused on togetherness, health, and social responsibility on Sunday, October 25, 2026. The event provided an opportunity to strengthen relationships within the academic community while reaffirming the institution's contribution to public health.

Under the leadership of Director Prof. I Nyoman Suprapta Winaya, S.T., M.A.Sc., Ph.D., and Deputy Director Prof. Ir. Ida Ayu Astarini, M.Sc., Ph.D., this year's anniversary celebration featured activities that went beyond formal ceremonies and offered practical benefits to participants and the wider community.

The program began with a fun walk involving university leaders, lecturers, administrative staff, students, and other participants. The activity encouraged an active and healthy lifestyle while providing an opportunity to build camaraderie across the academic community.

The fun walk was followed by a group exercise session. Participants took part in the exercise routine as a way to maintain physical fitness and promote the importance of healthy daily habits.

Health Screening Services for Participants

Alongside the physical activities, the 34th anniversary celebration also provided health screening services for participants. These services included eye examinations, general health check-ups, and physiotherapy consultations. The services gave participants an opportunity to learn more about their health and reinforced the importance of regular health check-ups.

Blood Donation Drive and World Polio Day

The celebration's focus on health and humanitarian action was further demonstrated through a blood donation drive held in conjunction with World Polio Day. The activity was organized in collaboration with Rotary District 4320 Bali and was expected to involve approximately 30–50 donors.

This collaboration reflected the synergy between an educational institution and a humanitarian organization in supporting better public health. Blood donation also represented a practical expression of social responsibility, as donated blood can help meet healthcare needs and save lives.

The inclusion of World Polio Day also highlighted the importance of polio prevention and eradication. Through this joint initiative, Universitas Udayana Graduate School and Rotary District 4320 Bali sought to raise awareness of immunization, child health protection, and continued support for the global effort to eradicate polio.

Unfurling the "END POLIO NOW" Flag

The series of activities concluded with participants jointly unfurling a flag bearing the words "END POLIO NOW". The flag unfurling served as a symbol of commitment and support for the global movement to end polio. It also conveyed the message that eradicating polio requires shared concern, collaboration, and active participation from all sectors of society.

This year's 34th anniversary celebration was more than a commemoration of the institution's 34-year journey. It also provided a platform to strengthen the values of togetherness, solidarity, and service to the community.
