Dear friends!
From the bottom of my heart I congratulate students, their professors and parents on Knowledge Day!
As an acting professor, I know that for students this is a time of success and discoveries, understanding themselves and the world, the joy of communication.
I am sure that talented professors will help you to conquer new heights, and the university itself will become a starting point for a big life.
It is rightly claimed that the university is the treasury which stores the future national treasures.
For professors, the beginning of the academic year is the opportunity to meet their students and open the wonderful world of knowledge to them again and again. I want to thank them for their professionalism, sincere affection, and life wisdom that they share with students.
I hope that together we will be able to give the younger generation advanced knowledge and cultivate the best human qualities in everyone.
I wish students to acquire favorite professors and friends and to be persistent in conquering educational heights! And their professors – to enjoy communicating with students and to get recognition of your work!
And let knowledge be the key to your success, strength and freedom!
Oleg SMOLIN,
First Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Education and Science, Academician of the Russian Academy of Education
