“We believe that the quality of education has an impact on many aspects, so we must prioritize this,” said Vice Rector II USU.

Ali Saleh Ali Sulaiman as the Director of Operations of PT Pacific Medan Industri chose USU to be a collaborative partner in efforts to improve the quality of education because it is one of the best campuses in Indonesia. Research and Development is the achievement initiated for this program.

In the future, Ali Saleh hopes that this program can collaborate with more fields and through this collaboration, USU students get a good education to achieve a bright future that can contribute positively to the nation and state.

“Our priority is education, and USU is one of the best universities in Indonesia, which we hope will be a good bridge to other successful collaborations in the future,” added Ali Saleh.
