On November 26, 2020, an interesting practice-oriented event in the discipline "Investment Management" was held for third-year students of the speciality 073 "Management" (teacher - Ph.D., Assoc. Prof. Iuliia Myroshnychenko). The invited speaker is Oleksiy Volodymyrovych Balagurovsky, an entrepreneur, authorized representative of the public organization Alternative Thought, and an expert with extensive experience in advisory bodies.

Students received practical advice on how to implement their ideas and take an active role in the life of their hometown.

Do you always understand that you are on the right path? Are these your goals, and do they make you happy?

Because sometimes, we move forward and succeed, but this is not our goal, but our parents' dream. Sometimes when we retire, we realize that we have worked all our lives and achieved success, but now we are tormented by the conscience that we have given little time to children. And how many successful people leave the business and fly to the islands - and work there as a freelancer.

You need to set goals according to your values to succeed and be happy. So, the pensioner mentioned earlier had a family value, and he grew in business. And it's not about him… This is what we talked to Alina Poznanska, co-owner of the “Poznanski” brand, professional host of corporate and private holidays, certified facilitator and trainer, developer of team building for business and social structures, an inspiring speaker, social project manager and author of social films.

Every year our students receive the award "The best student of SSU". This year is no exception! Polina Kucherenko, a first-year master's student of specialty "Management", won the nomination "Best Student - Scientist".

And it's no accident! Because Polina has won many competitions in scientific works, has articles in professional journals and participates in scientific conferences.

She is a winner of the second stage of the All-Ukrainian Student Olympiad in the discipline "Business Economics" in 2019, All-Ukrainian competition of student research papers in the specialty "Economics of Nature Management and Environmental Protection" (2nd place, 2020), All-Ukrainian competition of student research papers in the field of "Management in the field of economic competition" (3rd place, 2020).  In 2018-2019 she received a scholarship from the head of the regional state administration, which is awarded to the best students of the region.

We should mention that Polina Kucherenko is Alumna of the department of Economics and Entrepreneurship and Business Administration. Her talents were unleashed and developed thanks to our colleagues.

And let’s remember that to become the best student one should study for self-development, with no stops in the middle.  

Congratulations to Polina on her victory and we believe that this is just the beginning!
