In closing, I wish to leave you with the timeless wisdom encapsulated in a Latin proverb: "Libertas perfundet omnia luce" – a profound declaration that "freedom will flood all things with light." Let these words resonate as a guiding beacon on our shared journey.

As we navigate the realms of academia and contribute to the wealth of knowledge, may the principles of liberty and the illumination of truth be our steadfast companions. In the pursuit of excellence, let us embrace the freedom to explore, question, and innovate, flooding our scholarly endeavors with the light of understanding.
