Overseas students awarded for activism in scientific clubs

A special event was organized on 28 December.

The audience was greeted by Vice-Rector for International Affairs Timirkhan Alishev, “I am lucky to celebrate New Year multiple times every year. For instance, in January we’ll have the Chinese New Year, and in March – Nowruz. I am glad to have this opportunity to meet active participants of the Polimirie Scientific Club – those who are truly interested in scholarly life and improving their language skills.”

Polimirie (which stands for “Multi-World”) is a scientific club for international students. It started working this academic year and has already shown success with its target group.

During the ceremony, Vice-Rector Alishev noted the activists of the club: Chirstopher Mack Quiroa (Guatemala), Asslam Hannan (India), Li Yunzhu (China), and Elikalfa Umran (Turkey).

After that, Professor Alla Salnikova gave a lecture about Russia’s New Year traditions, specifically the spruce tree and its decorations.
