After the healthy walk, the event continued with a number of activities such as a bazaar, blood donation, free services, and musical and cultural arts performances. Interestingly, the bazaar was also attended by a number of MSMEs in the Surabaya and Gresik areas which were the results of fostered partners from the UWP Community Service activities.

UWP Chancellor, Dr. Budi Endarto, S.H., M.Hum., in his speech appreciated the 44th Wijaya Putra Dies Natalis activities, especially the chosen theme. "Sociopreneurs must be the spirit of academic activities at UWP and SWP. The output of activities at Wijaya Putra must provide good benefits for the community," said Budi Endarto. He added that the Sociopreneur vision is in line with Wijaya Putra's spirit, namely Growth with Society or growing and developing together with the community.

"I believe that if this spirit continues to be developed, Wijaya Putra can become a school and university with superior and dignified predicates," he said. Meanwhile, the Chairperson of the 44th Wijaya Putra Anniversary, Dr. Yulis Setyowati, S.Pd., M.Pd., said that today's activities are the culmination of a series of Anniversary events that have been carried out for the past two months.

"All of our activities are aligned with the theme of the Anniversary based on Sociopreneur, namely by involving elements of society, such as the social services that we hold in the month of Ramadan, the UWP Emas League, the UMKM bazaar, and competitions between schools throughout East Java," he said.

He hopes that with the entire series, Wijaya Putra School can be introduced as a Superior School Based on Character Education and Wijaya Putra University (UWP) as a Sociopreneur University.
