The activity began with a visit to the Universitas Sumatera Utara and a sharing session on November 18, 2025, which discussed various interesting issues, such as leadership knowledge, students' affairs & clubs/activities management system, high-impact programs, and long-term collaboration. Important themes such as the student affairs management system, student club/activities management system, international community service program, student mobility (inbound/outbound programs), visiting lecturers, MOU/MOA, and research collaboration programs were also discussed. The next day, November 19, 2025, international community service was held in Hariara Pohan Village, Samosir, North Sumatra.

This program is an opportunity to conduct various activities, such as leadership benchmarking to universities for student organization administrators and the Department of Student Affairs.
