The RUDN University Institute of Ecology has an active Alumni Club, which is becoming a powerful platform for ongoing dialogue, mentoring, and career growth.
Its mission is not simply to maintain friendly ties, but to create a system of continuity in which alumni act as curators and mentors for current students. To this end, experienced professionals provide comprehensive support: they assist in choosing relevant research topics, advise on theses, assist in finding prestigious internships and employment, and directly offer job openings at leading specialized organizations.
Eco-professions of the future
A striking example of the effectiveness of this collaboration model was a project implemented under the supervision of Elena Viktorovna Semiletova. She is a 2002 graduate of the RUDN University Faculty of Ecology, holds a PhD in economics, is First Deputy Chair of the Council of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of the Russian Federation for the Development of the Circular Economy and the Environment, and is a member of key scientific and expert councils in the field of environmental management.
Together with Ksenia Ryabchenkova and Diana Chirkova, students of the Institute of Ecology, Elena Viktorovna developed and presented an innovative career guide for the professions of the future.
"This resource is a structured and comprehensive guide covering promising environmental professions, competency requirements, regulatory frameworks, and career paths. This guide can become an indispensable tool for applicants choosing a field of study, for students and graduates seeking a professional calling, and for professionals looking to transform their skills in the context of the green economy," notes Elena Semiletova.
Career Lab
In addition, Elena Viktorovna initiated another significant project, the "Eco-Career Laboratory," co-founded by Anastasia Mashina, a 2025 graduate of the Institute of Ecology's bachelor's degree program.
"The Lab operates as an expert communications platform in the format of a Telegram channel, where analytics on the sustainable development labor market are regularly published, industry trends and practical cases are discussed. The project brings together leading employers, job seekers, and students, creating a vibrant community for the exchange of knowledge and opportunities," explains Anastasia Mashina.
The activities of the RUDN University Institute of Ecology Alumni Club demonstrate that the integration of academic experience, student initiative, and the practical expertise of graduates creates an effective ecosystem for training highly qualified personnel prepared to address today's global environmental challenges. The Institute is proud of its graduates and welcomes new forms of collaboration that lay the foundation for future professional success.
