But of course this does not diminish the meaning of the inauguration procession that is carried out. Professor is the highest functional position for lecturers and achieving it is not easy because it requires struggle, sacrifice and hard work in fulfilling the requirements in accordance with applicable regulations.

For Higher Education, the number of professors possessed has an important role as Prime Mover who drives the wheel of the Tridharma of Higher Education. The presence of a professor is also very important in strengthening the authority and quality of education in Higher Education. Almost every year there are professors who enter their retirement period and this must be anticipated immediately with strategic steps so that lecturers who already have a doctoral degree try to improve their status to become professors. The position of Professor is not only an honor because he has been able to reach the highest level, but also provides great benefits for the University, Faculties, Study Programs and students.

Previously in September 2020, Udayana University confirmed ten professors and within six months there were two professors who were retired and three professors died, so that with the inauguration of six professors today, the number of teachers Udayana University has a total of 158 people, with this the ratio has exceeded 10 percent of the total number of lecturers. This number is also expected to increase every year.

The Rector hopes that the professors who have been confirmed are able to carry out their duties as well as possible, because behind this position contains a great meaning and demands greater responsibility. As a professor, he is expected to be an example and be able to protect and provide solutions to problems that arise in society through the knowledge they have to advance this nation and country.

This newly inaugurated professor is also expected to motivate juniors and colleagues to achieve this highest degree in an effort to increase the number of excellent human resources at Udayana University, so that they are able to compete not only at the national level but also at the international level.
