The launching of Penmaru was marked by the release of balloons with prizes by the Rector Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP at the Campus yard on Jalan Kapten Mukhtar Basri, Medan, Sunday (10/11) witnessed by Run Mu runners.
Also present were Secretary of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PW), Irwan Syahputra, MA, Drs H. Mario Kasduri, MA, Chairman of BPH UMSU Dr. H. Bahril Datuk, M.M and Drs. Mutholib, M.M, Vice Chancellor 2 UMSU Prof. Dr. Akrim, M.Pd., Vice Chancellor 3 Assoc. Prof. Dr Rudianto, M.Si, Deans and Deputy Deans of Faculties throughout UMSU, and partners.
In addition to Lauching, Run Mu 2024 activities were also organised in commemoration of National Heroes’ Day and Muhammadiyah 112th Anniversary. The event is in collaboration with the Sports Development Institute (LPO) of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) of North Sumatra.
‘On this occasion, UMSU launched new student admissions 2025. Currently, UMSU students reach more than 21 thousand and hope that the number will continue to increase in the future,’ said the Rector of UMSU, greeted by enthusiastic participants in the 5 km and 10 km categories.
Prof. Agussani expressed his gratitude to all runners who attended from various regions and institutions in North Sumatra, as well as international students from Thailand, Sudan, Yemen to Cambodia.
‘Thank you to the participants and athletes who have been present since dawn. We hope this activity will continue and next year will be more festive. We will build campus 4 in Sampali. God willing, next year it will be held from campus 3 and campus 4 in Sampali and is open to participants from within and outside the country, ‘said the Chancellor of UMSU.
On that occasion, the UMSU Chancellor also gave a full education scholarship to study at UMSU to Najwa, the first fastest runner in the 5km category from SMA 15 Medan.
‘UMSU really cares about creativity, so for prospective outstanding students, please register through the scholarship route. Here we give a full scholarship to Najwa who is talented and has potential,’ said Prof Agussani.
The scholarship was welcomed enthusiastically by Najwa who plans to continue her studies at the Faculty of Law UMSU. The 3rd grade SMA N student looked moved because she did not expect to get a scholarship offer directly from the UMSU Chancellor.
Furthermore, UMSU Chancellor Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP together with the Vice Chancellors, Secretary of the Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) and partners gave prizes to the 3 fastest runners in the men’s and women’s 10 km and 5 km categories and the 10 fastest finishers for each category.
