September 3, 2013
On September 1, 2013, a traditional holiday "Day of Knowledge" and a solemn initiation to freshmen took place at National University of Life and Environmental Sciences of Ukraine. Nearly 10,000 young freshmen joined the ranks of the students of our university - one of the largest universities in Eastern Europe which will celebrate its 115th anniversary this autumn.
"Day of Knowledge" at the university is a special holiday, always bright and colourful, full of emotions and excitement. This is the day when freshmen start a new page of their lives.
So this year the morning of the 1st of September was filled with melodious sounds of the student waltz and university streets bloomed with student smiles.
Traditionally freshmen were welcomed by the Head of the University, Academician, Dmytro O. Melnychuk who voiced the greetings of the President of Ukraine, Viktor F. Yanukovych, the Head of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Volodymyr V. Rybak and the Prime Minister of Ukraine, Mykola Ya. Azarov. Addressing the freshmen, Dmytro Oleksijovych noted that they made a good choice as NULES of Ukraine occupies a worthy place among national and foreign universities in the field of agricultural, environmental, life sciences and society development sciences. The university has significant achievements in research, educational and innovative fields and therefore it was awarded with the status of the autonomous (self-governing) and research university and now actively works on completing the accreditation according with the U.S. educational standards. The Head of the University also highlighted that not only the future of the students depends on their education but also the fate of our country.
