For those achievements, the Rector of USU, Dr. Muryanto Amin, S.Sos., M.Si., on Monday (8/2/2021) congratulated USU students who have succeed in making USU proud in the national competition.

The Rector also hope the achievements that have been accomplished by USU students in the National Achievement Centre can be transmitted to other students, not only in mathematics and natural sciences, but also in other fields.

"Students’ achievement become one of the indicators in international rankings, surely this is also part of the transformation towards the ultimate priority programs which currently is being launched,” the former Dean of USU FISIP said.
