North Sumatra – A new chapter of student leadership and academic activism has officially begun in North Sumatra. Rifaldi has been formally inaugurated as the new Chairman of the Regional Leadership of the Islamic Persatuan Student Association (PW HIMA PERSIS) North Sumatra.
Following the solemn inauguration ceremony, the newly appointed leader immediately stepped forward to outline his grand vision, laying out a series of major strategic targets designed to elevate the organization’s regional impact and strengthen its foundational role across the province.
In his inaugural address, Rifaldi emphasized a strong commitment to academic excellence, organizational restructuring, and widespread community engagement as the core pillars of his leadership tenure. Under his administration, PW HIMA PERSIS North Sumatra aims to aggressively expand its presence across local campuses while fostering a progressive intellectual environment for Muslim students.
By establishing clear, forward-thinking objectives, Rifaldi intends to transform the organization into a vital driving force for social change, character development, and academic innovation throughout North Sumatra.
The high-profile inauguration event was attended by various prominent figures, including representatives from the central leadership of HIMA PERSIS, local government officials, and leaders of various youth and student organizations across North Sumatra.
The ceremony served not only as a formal transition of power but also as a collaborative forum to discuss the contemporary challenges faced by the younger generation in the region. Speakers at the event highlighted the importance of synergy between student organizations and regional development goals.
In an era defined by rapid digital transformation and socioeconomic shifts, student bodies like HIMA PERSIS are increasingly expected to bridge the gap between traditional values and modern innovation.
Rifaldi’s administration has hinted at plans to launch new digital literacy programs and leadership training modules aimed at preparing members for the highly competitive future job market. Furthermore, the organization plans to strengthen its advocacy efforts regarding accessible quality higher education and social justice issues within the local community.
As the newly inaugurated committee steps into office, expectations are high for them to deliver tangible results that resonate beyond campus borders. By focusing on sustainable programs and fostering collaborations with external stakeholders, PW HIMA PERSIS North Sumatra is well-positioned to make a lasting impact.
The upcoming work program meeting (Muskerwil) will be the next crucial step where these ambitious grand targets will be translated into concrete, actionable projects.
