Some of these students have completed their quarantine days to comply with the government's health policies during the pandemic.
The Rector of UIII, Professor Komaruddin Hidayat, gave the opening speech, saying: "UIII was purposefully created as a green campus, so when the people living inside want to do their activity, they would need a bicycle, or strolling."

The event ended with the Rector and Deans from each faculty entrusting bicycles to a student representative. With this bicycle entrustment, it is intended that all civitas academica of UIII will be able to undertake their activities on the UIII campus while maintaining their commitment to living healthy and living on a green campus by riding bicycles.
