Today, Vasyl KARPUSHA, acting rector of Sumy State University, celebrates his birthday.

Dear Vasyl Danylovych!

This day is a special occasion to say more than the usual work rhythm allows. To express gratitude. Respect. Trust.

It so happened that most of your work as rector took place during difficult years of the full-scale war. However, thanks to your managerial skills and strategic vision, Sumy State University is not just holding its ground, but is moving forward confidently, maintaining stability and developing even when circumstances test its strength.

In these difficult times for the state, it is important for the team to have a leader who does not lose heart, does not lose faith, and knows how to unite around a common goal. Over the years, you have proven that you have these qualities. You support, inspire, and maintain a balance between demandingness and humanity. You know how to listen, understand, find solutions, and give confidence to others.

The university is thriving: it is developing international partnerships, opening up new opportunities for students and researchers, and boldly implementing innovations. Behind these processes are your energy, professionalism, effective delegation of authority, integrity, and faith in people.

We sincerely wish you strength and inspiration, inner peace, and satisfaction from your daily work. May every decision bring confidence, and every day – a sense of the importance of what has been done.

We wish you good health, family happiness surrounded by your loved ones, reliable like-minded people nearby, and, most importantly, a just peace in Ukraine.

We are confident that you will have many more strong decisions, new achievements, and moments of pride for SumDU ahead of you. It is the university that has been writing its history together with you for many years.
