The Goluboe Ozero recreation center hosted the 27th "Student Perspective" educational seminar for first-year student leaders. This year, the event took on special significance. The SPbPU Student Trade Union is celebrating its 60th anniversary—six decades of support, development, and belief in every student. Over the years, the Trade Union has become an integral part of university life: supporting students, developing initiatives, and creating an atmosphere where everyone can express themselves.
The anniversary provided an opportunity to remember how, over six decades, PROF has become a hub for uniting generations of students—the very heart that connects the past, present, and future of the Polytechnic.
This year's slogan, "A New Light in History," brought together over 300 participants: leaders, coaches, organizers, representatives of the PROF, and student associations. Over the course of three days, the students attended training sessions, master classes, and team activities, learning to listen to and hear each other, be inspired by ideas, and work together. Each day of "Perspektiva" was filled with discoveries and emotions: educational modules, creative evenings, and team activities created an atmosphere of true unity. Ideas were born here that sparked future projects and movements at the Polytechnic University.
The seminar opened with a video message from SPbPU Rector Andrey Rudskoy, who addressed the participants: "When I look at you, first-year students, full of energy and dreams, I remember my student years. Then, just like you today, we believed that everything was in our hands—and we were right. 'Student Perspective' is a school of leadership and friendship. It is here that teams are born that together build the future of the Polytechnic University. May this new light shine within each of you and illuminate the path for others. The nature of your light will determine what our Polytechnic University will be like tomorrow."
These words became a symbol of the beginning of the first-year students' journey—the journey of leaders capable not only of changing themselves, but also of inspiring others.
During the seminar, meetings were held with representatives of the university administration: Vladimir Glukhov, Advisor to the Rector's Office; Maxim Pasholikov, Vice Rector for Information, Youth Policy, and Security; Nadezhda Grashchenko, Head of the Directorate of Basic Educational Programs; Vyacheslav Olshevsky, Director of the Student City; and Maxim Susorov, Chairman of the PROF. Students discussed the development of youth policy, opportunities for self-fulfillment, and the future of the university community.
On the second day, a student association festival took place, where first-year students learned about the various associations at Polytechnic University: the School of Cultural Organizers, the "Adapters" Olympic Games, the Polytechnic University Student Teams, ReGreen, the Military History Club, the United Student Dormitory Council, and others. Three days of intensive work culminated in a touching closing ceremony: sparklers, laughter, songs, and a group photo on the shore of the Blue Lake. This evening became a symbol of unity and the beginning of a long journey for each participant. "Student Perspective" inspired, united, and energized a new generation of Polytechnic University leaders. Now their light is part of the university's history.
