Monday, 10 November 2025—President University held a guest lecture featuring Syafira Mardhiyah, Puteri Indonesia Kebudayaan 2025, at the Charles Himawan Auditorium, President University Main Campus, Jababeka City, Cikarang. The session was conducted under the Economic Survival Program for first-year students, with Fashion for Professionals serving as one of its key modules designed to strengthen students’ understanding of self-presentation and professionalism in the workplace.

During her session, Syafira shared her unexpected journey toward becoming Puteri Indonesia Kebudayaan 2025. She explained that joining the pageant had never crossed her mind. She recounted that the turning point occurred during a brief visit to a newly opened café. “In that short interaction, someone recognized her potential. Not only in terms of appearance, but more importantly in the way I carried myself,” she stated. That encouragement ultimately led her to register for Puteri Indonesia.

Syafira highlighted the meaning behind the Javanese principle Ngadi Saliro, Ngadi Busono, describing it as a holistic approach to personal development. She explained that nurturing oneself extends beyond physical appearance to caring for one’s mind and soul as well. (Graciella V, PR Team. Photo PR Team)
