On December 21, the grand opening of the Student Honour Board took place. Traditionally, it featured portraits of 128 of the university best students who have proven themselves in studies, science, creativity, sports, volunteering, self-government, and media.

SSU Rector Alexei Chumachenko congratulated the gathered students on their personal achievement and stressed the importance of such a title. ‘If a person is asked which achievement was the most important for him, he will definitely remember something from his youth. This is your personal start: for someone it is a victory at the school Olympiad, and for someone it is an entry on the Honor Roll at the university. This is where your inner belief I can conquer the peaks is formed. And this is extremely important for both the academic and the student. Thank you! You contribute to the overall success of SSU! Congratulations to you and your parents, to whom I express my endless gratitude for your upbringing!’

Vladislav Bykov, Chair of the Council of Undergraduates and Postgraduates, greeted the participants of the ceremony. ‘This day is significant for our university. Your photos ended up on the Honor Board for your achievements and your desire to become better and make student life better and better. Your achievements do not go unnoticed. And I am pleased to stand here, look into your eyes and realize that I know 90% of you personally.’

The honour board is located on the 3rd floor, SSU Bldg. 10. The project is implemented annually by the Council of Undergraduates and Postgraduates with the support of the Office for Youth Policy.

The team of the Sweet Milk student media project also prepared a gift for the best students of the university: everyone could take memorable photos, which will be posted to the media project group on VKontakte.
