Based on the Decree of the Minister of Research, Technology and Higher Education (Menristekdikti) of the Republic of Indonesia, starting from October 2019 Arif Satria who is now the Rector of IPB University has been appointed as Permanent Professor in the Field of Ecology-Politics at IPB University. Arif was relieved by this degree because it was a dream from the start as a lecturer. “At the same time pay off my promise to my parents. I cannot repay all my parents’ love so far except with works like this. Hopefully this professor’s title can make my parents happy and proud,” Arif said.
