During silaturahim, UMSU Rector, Prof. Dr. Agussani, MAP, briefly told the journey and development of UMSU, especially amid the Covid-19 pandemic, which continues to progress. He said that building infrastructure and human resources during the pandemic was a critical process to increase accreditation nationally and internationally.

He hoped that with this friendship, the Secretary of the Primary and Secondary Education Council of Muhammadiyah HR Alpha Amirrachman, M.Phill, Ph.D. could provide information, direction, and collaboration for secondary education for UMSU’s progress towards international accreditation.
The Secretary of the Central and Middle Education Council of Muhammadiyah HR Alpha Amirrachman, M.Phill, Ph.D. conveyed the challenges of educational institutions in the 4.0 era, whose competition was sharper than the era of KH Ahmad Dahlan when he founded Muhammadiyah educational institutions
“When in 1945 our country was declared independent, at that time the need for education became the state’s constitutional responsibility. Therefore, the challenges of educational institutions are increasingly dynamic and varied,” said Alpha. He also advised that in this era, educational institutions cannot only exist but must present more things than other institutions. Therefore, the need for militant cadres or resources, and the formation of academic personnel who can compete after graduation, always collaborate and synergize.
The Chairman of BPH UMSU, Dr. Bahril Datuk, MM, Vice Rectors of UMSU, Director of the Postgraduate Program, Prof. Dr. Triono Eddy SH Mum, the gathering was also attended UMSU Faculty and Study Program Leader, and UMSU academic community.
