Under the theme “Listening to Science for Global Impact,” USU’s 74th anniversary serves as a reminder that science is not only meant to be advanced, but also needs to be heeded, understood, and presented as a solution to the various challenges faced by society, the nation, and the world.

The highlight of the 74th anniversary celebration of the Universitas Sumatera Utara was the Anniversary Open Session, held at the USU Auditorium. This event served as an opportunity to reflect on USU’s achievements and journey, while also reinforcing the university’s commitment to building a higher education ecosystem that is excellent, innovative, sustainable, and globally competitive.

Through the momentum of its 74th anniversary, USU continues to solidify its role as a higher education institution that not only produces outstanding human resources but also fosters research and innovation that have a tangible impact on society. A commitment to learning serves as the foundation for building collaborations, strengthening the commercialization of research, and delivering relevant solutions for sustainable development.

The celebration of the 74th anniversary is expected to serve as a catalyst to strengthen the spirit of the entire USU academic community as it continues its journey toward becoming an increasingly outstanding university at both the national and international levels, with knowledge, innovation, and collaboration as the key drivers for making a global impact.
