Meeting with alumni 

On October 22, 2019, NTU “KhPI” held a meeting of teachers of the Department of Humanities with former students who studied at the preparatory faculty at “KhPI” and other universities of Ukraine many years ago. All of them came to Kharkov from Morocco, where they created the Alumni Association. The idea of creating the Association, according to former Kharkov students, arose thanks to annual meetings in Morocco with the aim of communicating in Russian, organizing joint leisure and warm memories of student years.

The purpose of their current trip is to visit Ukraine and Kharkov, to see the places where their youth passed, to meet the teachers of the preparatory faculty who taught them the Russian language and other subjects, and let them get acquainted with the culture and traditions of Ukraine. They carried all the valuable knowledge, warmth, care and love of the faculty teachers with them through many years. Thanks to the knowledge and diplomas of Kharkov institutes, all the graduates achieved great success – they became directors of enterprises, took high government posts, opened their own companies, and founded holdings. With great love and gratitude, they recalled Ukraine, Kharkov and their favorite teachers, who invested in them not only knowledge, but also the love to language, culture and work.

The Alumni Association plans to renew links with Ukraine, to facilitate the selection of Moroccan students to study at NTU “KhPI”, and other Ukrainian universities. As a sign of gratitude and respect to the teachers of the Department of Humanities, the graduates dedicated them a poem by Omar Khayyam …

Как хочется сказать хорошие слова…
Пусть снег идёт, а с ним и обновленье.
Что жизнь прекрасна и добра!
Цени все эти милые мгновенья!
Ведь из таких мгновений наша жизнь.
И если верим мы в такое чудо…
Душа поёт, и сердце рвётся в высь…
И не страшна нам злая вьюга!
Не существует зависти и лжи.
А лишь покой, тепло и вдохновенье.
Мы на земле для счастья и любви!
Так пусть продлится это миг свеченья!
