The Vice Rector for Human Resources, Finance, and Information Systems, Dr. Muhammad Arifin Nasution, S.Sos., M.SP., stated that the newly appointed managers play a vital role in bridging university leadership policies with their implementation at the operational level. He emphasized that the appointments were based on each individual's competence and professional capabilities.
“Managers serve as the link between policies established by university leadership and their implementation within work units. Therefore, those appointed are individuals who possess the competencies and expertise required in their respective fields,” he said.

Meanwhile, the Director of Public Relations, Promotion, and Protocol Affairs, Prof. Dr. Elmeida Effendy, M.Ked(KJ)., Sp.KJ(K)., expressed hope that the appointed managers would effectively support the planning, implementation, and evaluation of university programs.
