Dear students, teachers, and employees of the university!
Please accept the sincerest congratulations and wishes of peace, happiness, health, and prosperity on the anniversary of our country!
For centuries, Ukraine has been striving for its dream of independence. Therefore, the celebration of this date is, first of all, a tribute of honor and gratitude to the generations of Ukrainians who for many centuries sacrificially fought for the freedom and independence of our state, defended the right to be masters of the native land.
The Independence Day of Ukraine is a holiday that unites all those who sincerely love their country, who contribute to its development and prosperity with everyday inspired work.
Only together we are Ukraine! Our fruitful work together will be a sure guarantee of a happy future for each of us and for our native country.
On this day when our hearts are filled with a sense of justice, dignity, and pride, awareness of our own involvement in the creation of the state, I wish all of us faith and unity, wisdom, and harmony on the way to building a rich and prosperous independent Ukraine!
Sincerely
Rector of Sumy State University Vasyl KARPUSHA
