On September 1, 2025, a ceremonial assembly dedicated to Knowledge Day and the beginning of the academic year was held at the State University of Management.
This year, September 1st was celebrated under the slogan “Creators of Tomorrow,” because future leaders, government officials, top managers, innovators in business and science study at the State University of Management, who are destined to change life in Russia for the better.
On the eve of the event, on the last day of summer, a meeting of first-year students was held at the State University of Management, so they had already managed to get used to their new place of study and did not get lost, but were nevertheless accompanied by attentive curators.
According to tradition, the official part of the celebration began with the Russian anthem, a parade with the flags of all the institutes of the State University of Management and a welcoming speech by the rector Vladimir Stroyev, who noted that the first-year students were lucky to get into the university, which has graduated many famous statesmen and major entrepreneurs over its more than 100-year history.
"If you have the attitude to become successful, then you will receive a quality education here, because our university has the best teaching staff in Russia in the areas of management, economics, marketing. I am sure that you will remember these years for the rest of your life. Maybe someone will find their true love and families will be formed. We welcome this. Many student families of past decades still delight us with their visits. There is nothing more reliable than meeting during student time. I wish you not only to receive all the knowledge that is available to you at the State University of Management, but also to actively participate in the life of the university. As future leaders, this will be very useful for you. Later, you will understand that student years are the happiest time in life. In the meantime, I am glad to welcome you to the family of the State University of Management!" Vladimir Stroev congratulated the students.
The students were also addressed by honorary guests and graduates of the State University of Management.
The head of the Federal Treasury of the Russian Federation, Roman Artyukhin, distinguished himself with a beautiful speech about the name of the State University of Management, in which every word is beautiful.
"Management is the right to lead. You need to manage wisely. And you need to manage not others, but first of all yourself. Manage your knowledge and become better every day than yesterday. By managing yourself, you become able to manage others. The university is a universe. During your studies, the entire universe opens up to you. There are no unnecessary subjects here. Industry disciplines are important, no doubt. Philosophy gives a large-scale view of the world around us, it cannot be neglected. And of course, accounting. Without accounting, there will be no professional economist or financier. Not the most difficult discipline, but fundamental. State. What are you? State. This should apply to each of us. We must be patriotic, loving our native country and the people around us, doing everything for the prosperity of Russia. I wish you all success, inspiration, and joy in your studies," Roman Artyukhin concluded his speech.
Director of the Department of Personnel Policy of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of Russia Alexey Svistunov heartily congratulated first-year students on their first day of study within the walls of the university.
"I remember my first days as a student. I always went to school with joy, everything was interesting. The contrast with school was noticeable, where not everything was interesting. And at the university, we study with great pleasure, because we go where our soul calls. But the university is not only about studying. You will also have sports competitions, volunteer activities, KVN, which GUU is famous for. And of course, romance – student families. This is a rich extracurricular life, which will also absorb you. Indeed, a whole universe. I congratulate you on the beginning of this wonderful stage of life," Alexey Svistunov shared his memories.
The Executive Secretary of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, Sergei Pospelov, also recalled the past, but not so distant.
"A couple of months ago, we presented diplomas to graduates at this very place. And their faces were sadder, and I congratulate you on that. I wish you to maintain this enthusiasm throughout your entire studies. As a teacher, I would like to advise you to be honest with yourself, from the first year until the very last day of study. Moreover, in the world of digital technologies, everything you have written, done or said stays with you forever. I congratulate you on becoming members of the large GUU family and wish you success!" said the Executive Secretary of the CSTO PA.
The head of the regional interaction department of the “Movement of the First” Olga Negrova admitted that she always returns to the walls of the State University of Management with great joy.
"Allow me to congratulate you on receiving the status of a student on behalf of the Chairman of the Board of the "Movement of the First", Hero of the Russian Federation Artur Orlov, and wish you that the path that you have chosen for yourself today will definitely be the right one. And that your student years will become special. Do not forget that you live in a time of incredible opportunities. Russia is a country of opportunities, and you are part of these opportunities. Happy holiday!" Olga Negrova congratulated the students.
The guests' speeches ended there, but the congratulations did not. The Chairperson of the Federation Council Committee on Science, Education and Culture Liliya Gumerova sent an official letter to the workforce and students of the State University of Management, in which she also noted the romance of student life and thanked the university for its great work in supporting young families. The full text of the letter can be found in the photo gallery.
At the end of the ceremonial assembly, the newly minted students took the freshman oath and received a symbolic pass to the territory of the State University of Management from Vladimir Stroyev. The rector also presented a gift from the university's partner, Sberbank, to the best freshman, Alisa Tsibulkina, who scored 300 points on the Unified State Exam and entered the Institute of Personnel Management, Social and Business Communications.
This was the end of the celebration. The first-year students still had a tour of the State University of Management and meetings with the directors of the institutes, and the rest of the students went to the first lectures of the new academic year.
Once again, we congratulate everyone on Knowledge Day! May the entire school year be as warm and soulful as September 1st.
