September is a time for the most expected and exciting events for our freshmen – student initiation ceremonies take place at the faculties.
The Deans, academic staff, student buddies and institution`s partners welcomed the first-year students and expressed their best wishes for an eventful student life with not only classes but with numerous extracurricular activities.
..Our faculty is a quite young one — just 28 years old. In two years, we will celebrate our 30th anniversary. Sure, this is a very good age. The age when we have the experience and traditions, but at the same time, there is still so much ahead, so much can be achieved. And together with you we will further develop the traditions of the faculty.
Prof. Dr. Larisa Karanatova, Dean, Faculty of Economics and Finance
I am very glad to see passionate, motivated freshmen committed to obtaining a quality education, and the teachers, among whom there are so many professionals with an extensive experience and scientists-researchers, who will definitely help you.
Alexey Petrov, Major General of the Customs Service, Dean, Faculty of Security and Customs
At the Faculty of Law over 300 first-year students tested their intelligence and ability to address challenges by taking part in the quest orginized by the student buddies. The event full of positive emotions was an excellent energy boost before the student life journey.
Our first-year students shared:
Getting student ID cards and meeting with the Dean was very memorable! It was very interesting to listen and recharge with emotions for the coming year from the Student Сouncil members and from the student buddies! I learned that there are many different student associations, both for scientific and active extracurricular activities.
Aleksandra Baldakhina, first-year student in Economic Security
The Presidential Academy in St. Petersburg is a symbiosis of the Northern capital’s culture and the university with a diverse academic and extracurricular life, such a rich ecosystem, a perfect combination. In addition to educational activities, I want to try myself in self-government, in sports, namely judo, and in general, learn the extracurricular life as much as possible.
Anton Ivanchenko, first-year student in Economics
