The Faculty of Engineering USU, served as an internship site for seven students from the Undergraduate Program in Communication Science, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences (FISIP), as part of their learning activities for the Lobbying and Negotiation course. The program ran from September 16 to October 9, 2026.

The students participating in the program were Miranti Ananda, Juan Putra Hamdani Daulay, Farah Kamilah Siregar, Rocinta Caroline Nainggolan, Davina Syafa Fatia, Monita Octavia Siboro, and Agina Aqsha Br Ginting. The Lobbying and Negotiation course is taught by Dr. Arief Marizki Purba, S.E., S.Sos., M.Si.

During the internship period, the students had the opportunity to work in the faculty environment and observe communication practices in an institutional context. This experience supported their understanding of the application of communication, coordination, and professional approaches in real-world situations.

This activity primarily supports SDG 4 – Quality Education through experiential learning and the development of student competencies beyond the classroom. SDG 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth is also relevant through exposure to the workplace and the development of professional skills. FT USU continues to support academic activities that provide students with opportunities for contextual learning.
