Rector Lenar Safin’s address on Knowledge Day
Dear students, teachers and researchers! Dear colleagues!
Please accept my sincere congratulations on the Knowledge Day and the beginning of the new academic year!
The first of September is always a special, exciting holiday, full of bright expectations and new discoveries.
For our first-year students, today will be the first day, opening the door to the amazing world of science, creativity and friendship. For senior students, this is a meeting with friends, beloved teachers and a continuation of the exciting path of mastering the chosen profession.
Kazan University, with its bicentennial history, has always been and remains the cradle of scientific thought, a generator of ideas and a forge of new professionals for the entire country. We are proud of our great traditions, but we look to the future with confidence, because it is you – today’s students and researchers – who will have to solve the problems of tomorrow, make breakthrough discoveries and move forward the national and global science.
On this day, I would like to address our faculty separately. Your wisdom, dedication, and love for your work are what ignite the minds of students and lead them to the heights of excellence. I thank you with all my heart for your titanic work, patience, and professionalism!
Friends! A new academic year is ahead of us, full of opportunities. May it be productive, successful, and happy for each of us!
I wish all students an inexhaustible thirst for knowledge, perseverance in achieving goals, and a bright, eventful student life. May the years of study within the walls of our alma mater become a time of brilliant victories and strong friendships for life.
Happy holiday! Happy Knowledge Day!
