"This success is the result of solid synergy among lecturers, students, and educational staff in driving research and programs that have a direct impact on society," he said.
Faizin also revealed that one of the key factors behind UMM's success is the university’s focus on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guiding principle in the Tri Dharma of Higher Education. UMM has even established the SDGs Center, which works with student activity units (UKM) tasked with implementing sustainable programs. Through the SDGs Center, UMM ensures that every student activity is oriented towards sustainability, producing graduates who are not only academically competent but also socially aware.
The lecturer from Madura explained that sustainability is the main foundation for UMM in achieving this success. He emphasized that consistency is the biggest challenge, especially in maintaining commitment to both the hard and soft skills of students, as well as ensuring that research conducted remains relevant and beneficial to society.

This achievement is expected to serve as motivation to continue generating innovations that not only strengthen UMM's position nationally but also make a positive contribution to the nation's development. "Our hope is that UMM will continue to be known as a campus that not only excels but also becomes a pioneer in the development of sustainable education in Indonesia," he concluded. (vin/wil/Fajr)
