Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) Rector, Muryanto Amin, attended the 72nd Dies Natalis of the Faculty of Law, marking an important momentum to evaluate and strengthen the institution’s role in carrying out the Tri Dharma of Higher Education—education, research, and community service. As the institution grows older, its responsibility to maintain quality and contribute meaningfully to society also increases.
“I appreciate the achievements of the USU Faculty of Law, including the improvement in study program accreditation to an ‘excellent’ status. Moving forward, we must continue to promote the internationalization of education, learning innovation, and research collaboration that directly impacts society,” said the Rector in his remarks.
Dean of the Faculty of Law USU, Mahmul Siregar, stated that the 72nd Dies Natalis serves as a key moment to strengthen the faculty’s commitment to improving the quality of legal education that is adaptive to changing times. “We aim to produce graduates who are not only academically excellent but also possess integrity and are capable of addressing the dynamic challenges of law in Indonesia,” he explained.
The Chair of the 72nd Dies Natalis Committee, Sapta Putra, added that the series of activities was not merely ceremonial but also focused on academic strengthening and social contribution.
During the event, an Inspiring Alumni session featured the Head of the North Sumatra High Prosecutor’s Office, Harli Siregar, who shared his message: “As an alumnus of the USU Faculty of Law, I hope students continue to develop themselves and make real contributions in the field of law.”
The highlight of the event was a scientific oration delivered by Acting Deputy Attorney General, Asep N. Mulyana. In his speech, he emphasized that the transformation of national criminal law following the revision of several laws has brought fundamental changes to the legal landscape and law enforcement practices in Indonesia.
“I hope the USU Faculty of Law continues to enhance its academic quality and produces graduates who can contribute to the development of national law,” he concluded.
