On September 28, our department hosted a celebration in honor of the Day of the Translator. The head and many teachers of the department, students of 1, 2, 3, 4 courses, pupils of specialized schools №132 and №62 took part in the meeting. Moreover the graduates who gladly shared their experiences and gave the students inspiration for new achievements were not forgotten and were invited to the celebration.
