The Faculty of Economics and Business (FEB) of Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara (UMSU) held its second yudisium ceremony for 2025, attended by 419 graduates from four study programs. The event took place solemnly at the Auditorium on Jalan Muchtar Basri No. 3 Medan, Thursday (6/11).
The ceremony was attended by UMSU Vice Rector I, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Arifin, SH, M.Hum., FEB Dean Dr. Radiman, S.E., M.Si., lecturers, alumni, and graduating students.
According to the Dean’s Decree, the graduates consist of 248 students from Management, 117 from Accounting, 25 from Development Economics, and 29 from Tax Management.
UMSU Rector, Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP, represented by Vice Rector I, Prof. Dr. Muhammad Arifin, SH, M.Hum., delivered a moral message encouraging graduates to uphold integrity, respect their lecturers, and contribute positively to society.
“Those who possess knowledge and faith are elevated in rank by Allah. Knowledge is not merely a title—it is a responsibility to bring benefit to others,” Prof. Arifin said in his address.
He also emphasized the importance of honoring parents and teachers so that knowledge becomes blessed.
“After completing your studies, bow before your parents and ask for their blessings. Respect your lecturers, for they are the intermediaries of knowledge,” he reminded, drawing emotional responses from attendees.
Two study programs at FEB UMSU—Management and Accounting—have earned international accreditation from FIBAA, Germany.
Meanwhile, FEB Dean Dr. Radiman, S.E., M.Si., highlighted the faculty’s commitment to continued innovation. He introduced the “Sapta Cita” program, which will guide the faculty’s development moving forward.
“We will strengthen services, enhance lecturer competence, expand international collaborations, and rebrand with a new tagline: ‘FEB UMSU: Innovation and Global Vision’,” he stated.
The Dean also announced plans to open two new study programs: Digital Business and the D4 Program in Policy and Tax Management.
“Digitalization is something we can no longer delay. Faculties must lead innovation to remain relevant in the global workforce,” he added.
One of the graduating students, Muhammad Rido, S.M., delivered an emotional reflection on his journey of overcoming physical limitations and the loss of both parents at a young age.
“My father passed away when I was four, and my mother passed away two years ago while performing the Hajj. I once doubted myself, but UMSU has proven that limitations are not a barrier to dreaming,” Rido said, his voice trembling as the audience applauded.
