STKIP Al Maksum Langkat terus menunjukkan komitmennya dalam meningkatkan kualitas dan daya saing institusi melalui penguatan jejaring kerja sama internasional. Sebagai wujud nyata dari komitmen tersebut, STKIP Al Maksum berpartisipasi dalam Bimbingan Teknis Peningkatan Kapasitas dan Kapabilitas Penguatan Kolaborasi Global Bidang Sains dan Teknologi yang diselenggarakan di Medan pada tanggal 22–26 Juni 2026. Dalam kegiatan tersebut, STKIP Al Maksum diwakili oleh Wakil Ketua III, Azri Ranuwaldy Sugma, S.Pd., M.Psi., dan Kepala Bagian Alumni, Kerja Sama, dan Humas, Mustafa Habib, S.Pd.I., M.Pd.. Kehadiran kedua delegasi tersebut merupakan bagian dari upaya institusi untuk memperkuat kapasitas sumber daya manusia dalam membangun dan mengembangkan kolaborasi global yang mendukung kemajuan pendidikan tinggi. Kegiatan ini diselenggarakan oleh Direktorat Bina Talenta Sains dan Teknologi di bawah naungan Direktorat Jenderal Sains dan Teknologi, serta menjadi forum strategis bagi perguruan tinggi untuk meningkatkan pemahaman mengenai tata kelola kerja sama internasional, pengembangan kemitraan global, mobilitas akademik, kolaborasi riset, dan berbagai program internasional lainnya yang mendukung transformasi pendidikan tinggi di Indonesia. Melalui partisipasi dalam kegiatan ini, STKIP Al Maksum memperoleh kesempatan untuk memperluas jejaring dengan berbagai perguruan tinggi dan lembaga dari seluruh Indonesia, sekaligus mendapatkan wawasan mengenai praktik terbaik dalam pengembangan kolaborasi global di bidang sains dan teknologi. Pengetahuan dan pengalaman yang diperoleh selama kegiatan diharapkan dapat menjadi landasan dalam merancang program kerja sama internasional yang lebih inovatif, produktif, dan berkelanjutan. Dengan memperkuat kapasitas kelembagaan serta membangun sinergi dengan berbagai mitra strategis, STKIP Al Maksum terus berupaya meningkatkan kualitas pendidikan, penelitian, dan pengabdian kepada masyarakat guna memberikan kontribusi nyata bagi kemajuan bangsa dan perkembangan ilmu pengetahuan serta teknologi di era globalisasi.
Selama dua hari (12-13 Juni 2026), mahasiswa dan dosen Prodi Pendidikan IPA STKIP Al Maksum melakukan perjalanan penuh makna dengan tema “Eksplorasi Lingkungan: Harmonisasi Sains dan Kelestarian Alam di PT Aice serta Kawasan Danau Toba.”
Perjalanan ini bukan sekadar liburan, melainkan langkah nyata dalam memadukan teori sains di ruang kelas dengan realitas industri modern serta keindahan ekosistem alam. Mulai dari melihat kecanggihan teknologi pangan hingga mengamati langsung pelestarian lingkungan di salah satu danau vulkanik terbesar di dunia.
Lokasi: PT Aice Sumatera Utara
Memasuki area industri PT Aice, mahasiswa diajak melihat langsung bagaimana prinsip-prinsip sains—mulai dari termodinamika, sistem higienitas, hingga teknologi otomatisasi—diterapkan dalam skala besar. Kunjungan edukasi ini memberikan pandangan baru bahwa ilmu IPA sangat dekat dan aplikatif dalam industri pangan modern. Belajar sains jadi terasa lebih seru (dan manis!) lewat pengalaman langsung ini.
Lokasi: Kawasan Danau Toba
Eksplorasi berlanjut ke ikon Sumatra Utara, Danau Toba. Di sini, fokus beralih pada kegiatan penelitian lingkungan dan pengabdian. Mahasiswa mengamati langsung keanekaragaman hayati, kondisi ekosistem perairan, serta berdiskusi mengenai pentingnya menjaga harmoni antara pariwisata, geologi, dan kelestarian alam sekitar. Sebagai calon pendidik IPA, menjaga bumi adalah bagian dari tanggung jawab ilmiah kita.
Kami belajar bahwa sains tidak hanya ada di dalam buku, tapi hidup di sekitar kita—baik dalam kecanggihan teknologi maupun dalam setiap sudut kelestarian alam yang harus kita jaga. Science is fun, nature is beautiful.
STKIP Al Maksum kembali menunjukkan komitmennya dalam menghadirkan pembelajaran yang berbasis praktik dan pengalaman profesional melalui kegiatan Bawaslu Mengajar. Kegiatan ini difasilitasi oleh STKIP Al Maksum dengan menghadirkan narasumber dari Bawaslu Kabupaten Langkat, yaitu Ahmad Kurniawan Harahap.
Dalam kegiatan tersebut, Ahmad Kurniawan Harahap menyampaikan materi mengenai peran dan fungsi Bawaslu dalam menjaga kualitas demokrasi, pentingnya pengawasan partisipatif, pencegahan pelanggaran pemilu, serta tantangan pengawasan di era digital. Mahasiswa juga diberikan pemahaman tentang bagaimana generasi muda dapat berkontribusi dalam menciptakan pemilu yang jujur, adil, dan berintegritas.
Kegiatan berlangsung secara interaktif dengan sesi diskusi dan tanya jawab yang mendapat antusiasme tinggi dari para mahasiswa. Berbagai pertanyaan terkait pengawasan pemilu, partisipasi masyarakat, dan peran mahasiswa dalam mengawal demokrasi menjadi topik yang menarik perhatian peserta.
Dosen STKIP Al Maksum, Mustafa Habib, M.Pd menyampaikan apresiasi kepada Bawaslu Kabupaten Langkat atas kesediaannya berbagi ilmu dan pengalaman kepada mahasiswa. Kegiatan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan literasi demokrasi serta menumbuhkan kesadaran mahasiswa untuk berpartisipasi aktif dalam menjaga kualitas penyelenggaraan pemilu di Indonesia.
Melalui program Bawaslu Mengajar, STKIP Al Maksum terus berupaya memperkuat sinergi dengan berbagai lembaga dan menghadirkan pembelajaran yang relevan dengan kebutuhan masyarakat serta perkembangan kehidupan berbangsa dan bernegara.
