– The gallery of rectors is a common object of pride for universities, but I have never seen such a gallery of professors as yours. She speaks about your respect and reverent attitude towards the teachers and the history of the university. It is nice to know that our students study at a university that has so many achievements, as well as actively cooperates with educational institutions in China. It is especially symbolic that now your rector Iryna Kiturka is in China on a working visit.
