The University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) took a series of concrete steps to improve quality. One of them is related to the management of the owned laboratory. It was stated in a focused discussion held on Thursday (20/5) at Rayz Hotel UMM. The discussion was carried out to standardize laboratories at the White Campus. The laboratory can carry out its functions according to existing policies.
Rector of UMM Dr. Fauzan, M.Pd. Assessed that the laboratory is not only related to practical activities. You can also develop branding and marketing efforts. That way, there are also efforts to explore external interests.
The Vice Rector I of the White Campus, Prof. Dr. Syamsul Arifin, M.Sc., also said that the laboratory should be part of the Center of Excellence.

Meanwhile, the Head of the Central Laboratory, Prof. Dr. Ir. Wahyu Widodo said the general function of the laboratory. Two of them are practical and non-practical activities.
