On 29 August 2025, SumDU hosted the annual August conference of administration, management, scientific and teaching staff. The event was attended by Denys KURBATOV (deputy minister of education and science of Ukraine).
On 29 August 2025, as part of a working trip to Sumy Oblast, the Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Ukraine Denys KURBATOV visited SumDU.

This holiday symbolizes fulfillment of the age-old dream of the Ukrainian people – to live in their own free and independent state. This is a day when we gratefully remember those who defend our freedom, giving their strength, knowledge and even their lives for the future of Ukraine.
The blue-yellow flag is not only a state symbol, but also personification of our freedom, dignity and national unity. Under its colors, the Ukrainian people fought for the right to their own state, defended independence and protected native land in the most difficult times of our history.
