Dear university community, colleagues, students, alumni, partners!

I sincerely congratulate all of us on the Foundation Day of our Alma Mater!

Today we are turning the 76th page of successful university development. SumDU has become a powerful scientific and educational center and one of the leading universities in Ukraine. In particular, for three years in a row, SumDU has been the leader among Ukrainian universities in the Times Higher Education Impact Rankings. Also, it has high positions in the global educational and scientific environment.

Each achievement, each high place in the ranking is the merit of everybody. We remain committed to SumDU despite all challenges.

I sincerely thank all employees. In these difficult conditions, we are confidently overcoming obstacles and staying on the path of success.

We are proud of our active and talented students, our reliable stakeholders – graduates. You are the best!

I wish all of us peace, health, and unshakable faith in our common future. I believe that the university family will continue to be friendly, purposeful and creative. Sumy State University will be strong and successful! New achievements, discoveries and victories are waiting for us!

Best regards,

Vasyl KARPUSHA (SumDU rector)
