The event began with a screening of the profile videos of the five finalists presenting their vision, mission, and the background of their advocacy. The catwalk display and opening number captivated the audience before each candidate delivered an advocacy speech that raised important themes, such as literacy and awareness about menstruation, protecting the elderly through intergenerational dialogue spaces, overcoming toxic productivity, establishing a safe platform for minorities, and respecting the process of finding one’s identity.

During the Q&A session, the panel of judges, Hammad Zahid Muharram, S.Psi., M.Psi., Psikolog (one of the lecturers at the Faculty of Psychology), Amanda Erica as the 1st Runner Up of Putra and Putri Padjadjaran 2024, and Meisyandi Rafifatari as the President of the Faculty’s Student Executive Board, gave critical questions that tested their argumentation skills and depth of their reasoning. The atmosphere was tense yet inspiring as each answer combined psychological theory with real-world experiences.

The highlight of the event was enlivened by the Last Walk & Speech from Putra and Putri Faculty of Psychology Padjadjaran University 2024, Muhammad Aryan Maulana and Sharon Evangeline Tentero, who ushered in the moment of the winner announcement. In between, the music group Psytunes enlivened the atmosphere with an energetic performance, which was greeted with thunderous applause.
