Upon arriving at FEB USU, the students were welcomed and introduced to the faculty through a faculty profile video, a welcome address by the Dean of FEB USU, an introduction to the faculty leadership, and a presentation on the vision and mission of FEB USU.

The new students were also introduced to various student achievements, the implementation of the Three Pillars of Higher Education (Tridharma Perguruan Tinggi), and innovations developed by FEB USU lecturers and students.
