The meeting discussed initiating collaboration through the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, which would allow USU students to engage directly in Jasindo Syariah Insurance programs. In addition, both parties plan to organize a public lecture at USU to increase students' and the public's literacy and understanding of Sharia insurance.
"We hope this collaboration will have a positive impact, especially amid the public's mistrust of insurance due to various fraud cases in Indonesia," said Benni Ashraf.
One key point of the meeting was the plan to draft a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand the scope of collaboration between USU and Jasindo Syariah Insurance. This would be followed by creating a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) to detail specific collaborations with various USU faculty.
This meeting is expected to be a concrete first step toward enhancing collaboration that benefits both parties and the wider community, especially in promoting Sharia insurance as a secure and trustworthy financial solution.
