Yanka Kupala State University opened an updated gallery of the University rectors

The exhibition was supplemented by a portrait of Andrey Dmitrievich Korol, the rector of Yanka Kupala State University from 2013 to 2017.

The opening of the updated exposition was timed to the 80th anniversary of the University. The event was attended by students, teachers and employees of the University. – During the time that Andrey Dmitrievich managed the University, significant results were achieved in the activities of Yanka Kupala State University and a number of significant projects were implemented, - the rector of Yanka Kupala State University Irina Kiturko said. - Andrey Dmitrievich actively supported the concept of "University-Museum", part of which is a gallery of portraits of the University rectors. And the historical staircase in the old building of the Mariinsky gymnasium, designed so that both students and guests can immediately get an idea of how the University was formed, is also the idea of Andrey Dmitrievich Korol. We appreciate his great contribution to the development of the University. The opening ceremony of the updated exhibition was held with the participation of Andrey Korol. Without hiding his emotions, he shared that this is an exciting event for him. – I am grateful for the kind words, and also for the fact that today I, as if by means of a time machine, briefly returned to the past. During the years when I was the rector of Yanka Kupala Grodno State University, I learned a lot. I am grateful to the people I have worked with here at the University, - Andrey Korol said. The author of the portrait of Andrey Korol, which joined the gallery of the rectors of the University, is Head of the Department of Design of the Faculty of Art and Design of Yanka Kupala State University of Grodno, associate Professor, member of the Belarusian Union of artists Anton Leshchinsky. He also painted most of the portraits in the permanent exhibition of the University's rectors' gallery. Anton Leshchinsky thanked the management and the people whose portraits he worked on for their trust. The result of the implementation of the author's artistic idea was evaluated by the guests and employees of the University immediately after the official part of the event was completed. During the holiday week, new portraits will complement the gallery of professors of Yanka Kupala State University.
