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.

Independence is not only the right to make our own choices, it is also a great responsibility for country development. Each of us contributes to the common goal with our daily work, studies, creativity and public activity. We are proud that SumDU is part of the Ukrainian educational family, which educates generations of young, active and patriotic citizens.

We wish peace and security to every Ukrainian, well-being in families, success in business and confidence in tomorrow. Together, by joining forces and hearts, we will overcome all difficulties and bring closer the time when Ukraine will live in peace and prosperity!
