About the Cabinet

Kabinet Cakrawala Perubahan was the governing cabinet of Dema Justicia, the Dewan Mahasiswa (Student Council) of the Faculty of Law at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Active around 2012, the cabinet served as the primary channel for student aspirations within the faculty.

The name draws on the metaphor of cakrawala β€” the horizon β€” symbolizing a unifying boundary where sky meets earth. This imagery grounded the cabinet's commitment to bridging ideals with concrete action, fostering an intellectual community rooted in progressive change.

The cabinet oversaw nine departments spanning communications, advocacy, community service, legal research, sports, external relations, strategic policy studies, human resource development, and campaigns. Its flagship programs included Sekolah Cerdas, Beasiswa Aktivis, Pekan Raya Justicia, and the Justicia Cup.
