Faculty of Vocational Education

History

1951

The history of the Faculty of Vocational Education of Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) is inseparable from establishing Universitas Sumatera Utara as the parent institution. Universitas Sumatera Utara (USU) was founded by the Universitas Sumatera Utara Foundation on June 4, 1952. The Governor of North Sumatra initiated this foundation to meet the aspirations of the people of North Sumatra in particular and the people of Indonesia in general. An Executive Board managed the foundation led directly by the Governor of North Sumatra, with the following composition: Abdul Hakim (Chairman), Dr. T. Mansoer (Vice Chairman), Dr. Soemarsono (Secretary/Treasurer), Ir. R. S. Danunagoro, Drh. Sahar, Drg. Oh Tjie Lien, Anwar Abubakar, Madong Lubis, Dr. Maas, J. Pohan, Drg. Barlan, and Soetan Pane Paruhum (Members). The desire to establish a higher education institution in Medan had existed before World War II, but the Dutch government did not approve it then. During the Japanese occupation, figures such as Dr. Pirngadi and Dr. T. Mansoer drafted the plan for a Medical College. After independence, the government appointed Dr. Mohd. Djamil from Bukit Tinggi is the Chairman of the Committee.

1952

During Governor Abdul Hakim's tenure, an initiative was taken to raise funds from the people of North Sumatra to establish a university. On December 31, 1951, a committee was formed to prepare for establishing a higher education institution. It was chaired by Dr. Soemarsono and included members Dr. Ahmad Sofian, Ir. Danunagoro, and secretary Mr. Djaidin Purba. In addition to the Foundation's Executive Board, the organization of USU at its inception consisted of the Board of Curators, the President of the University, the Assembly of Presidents and Advisors, the University Senate, and the Faculty Board, as a result of cooperation and both moral and material assistance from the entire community of North Sumatra, which at that time also included the Special Region of Aceh, the Faculty of Medicine was successfully established on August 20, 1952, on Seram Street, with twenty-seven students, including two women. This was followed by the establishment of the Faculty of Law and Social Sciences (1954), the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (1956), and the Faculty of Agriculture (1956).

1957

On November 20, 1957, USU was officially inaugurated by the President of the Republic of Indonesia, Dr. Ir. Soekarno, as the seventh state university in Indonesia. After becoming a state university in 1959, the Faculty of Engineering was opened in Medan and the Faculty of Economics in Kutaradja (Banda Aceh), which the President of the Republic of Indonesia ceremoniously inaugurated.
