The event gathered students from all faculties at USU and commenced with the national anthem "Indonesia Raya" and a prayer recital. In his remarks, Prof. Muryanto Amin expressed his appreciation for the achievements made throughout 2024. “Always remember that without friendship, there can be no relationships. Let’s continue making meaningful contributions to Indonesian society in education, community service, and research. May this year’s achievements inspire us to aim higher in the years to come,” he said.

The Rector also motivated award recipients and emphasized perseverance. “Congratulations to the winners, and for those who haven’t won, do not be disheartened. There is still ample time; keep striving to do your best. Hard work never betrays the results,” he added.

Under the supervision of the Vice Rector for Research, Community Engagement, and Partnerships, 20 award categories were announced. The awards recognized programs that established the best collaborations at international, industrial, and government levels, as well as for reporting cooperation. The Bachelor’s Program in Psychology won top positions for international and industrial partnerships, while the Bachelor’s Program in Forestry excelled in collaborations with government institutions and NGOs.

Additionally, outstanding academics were honored for their contributions to scientific writing, research, community service, and innovation. Some key award recipients included Prof. Dr. Apri Heri Iswanto as the best researcher in science and health, and Prof. Dr. Drs. Humaizi, MA for social and humanities categories.
