PR USU - Supporting the Independent Learning Campus (MBKM) program, the Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) collaborates with various parties, including the Bank of North Sumatra.

The cooperation was stated in the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between USU and PT Bank Sumut which was carried out to equalize perceptions and understanding of the cooperation that will be carried out in the future.

USU Rector Dr. Muryanto Amin, S.Sos., M.Sc., during a discussion with the board of directors of Bank Sumut at the Office of the Rector of USU, Wednesday (10/6/2021), explained that USU will prepare a cadre of competent students who can help Bank Sumut.
