Entertaining guests is one of the most common things to do when receiving a visit from family or coworkers. In entertaining guests, there are many things that can be done, including welcoming them in a friendly manner, providing all the needs, introducing local culture, and traveling. This is what the USU Faculty of Forestry did when receiving foreign guests a few days ago. A series of warm welcomes were carried out by several parties, including the Head of the Undergraduate Program in Forestry, Dr. Tito Sucipto, S.Hut., M.Si, Head of the Master's Program in Forestry, Dr. Ir. Samsuri, S.Hut., M.Si, Vice Dean III of the Faculty of Forestry, Prof. Dr. Agus Purwoko, S.Hut.., M.Si, and several lecturers of the Faculty of Forestry, including Prof. Dr. Apri Heri Iswanto, S.Hut., M.Si and Dr. Ir. Luthfi Hakim, S.Hut., M.Si in welcoming four researchers from Russia, Malaysia, and Indonesia (BRIN) namely Antonio Di Martino, Ph.D from Research School in Chemistry and Applied Biomedical Technologies Russia, Mohd. Hazwan Hussin, Ph.D. ChM. MICorr. (UK) NACE. (USA) from the School of Chemical Sciences Universiti Sains Malaysia, Lee Seng Hua, Ph.D from the Faculty of Applied Sciences Universiti Teknologi MARA Pahang, Malaysia, and Prof. Dr. Widya Fatriasari from Research Center for Biomass and Bioproducts National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN), Indonesia. In addition to the lecturers, several students of the Master of Forestry Program also participated in welcoming the guests.
In order to welcome the guests, Dr. Tito and colleagues invited the guests to travel to the Simelir Bamboo Window located in Simelir Village, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, on Friday, September 27, 2024. Jendela Bambu Tourism is one of the locations for community service, where Mr. Purnama, as the owner of Jendela Bambu Tourism, has collaborated with the USU Faculty of Forestry several years ago. There, guests are spoiled with beautiful views of green hills, cool mist, fresh air, and unique local culture. In addition to enjoying the scenery, guests also had the opportunity to harvest bamboo shoots (bamboo shoots that are often processed into vegetables), try various culinary specialties of Simelir, and receive souvenirs in the form of crafts made of bamboo and wood. All guests seemed amazed by the various things they saw while they were there. Not infrequently, they also seemed to capture various moments as beautiful memories while in North Sumatra. Not only the guests, Mr. Purnama the owner of the tourist site, was also very happy when the guests visited the bamboo park that he manages. According to him, the presence of foreign guests along with the USU Forestry is a very special thing for him. Not to forget, Mr. Purnama also captured the moment of togetherness with the guests.
The purpose of the arrival of the four scientists was to explore cooperation with the USU Faculty of Forestry regarding bamboo opportunities with stakeholders. In addition, on this occasion the guests were also given the opportunity to become presenters in the International Guest Lecturer seminar entitled “novasi dan teknologi pemanfaatan dan pengembangan hasil hutan bukan kayu”.
