On September 30, an awards ceremony was held in the new NSU auditorium building to honor the volunteers who helped organize and run the NSU Science Picnic on September 1. More than 50 volunteers participated in the event: volunteers assisted at partner sites and student clubs, worked in the headquarters and on stage, participated in preparing photos and videos, and organized the fire show.
"Today we have gathered to express our gratitude to the volunteers—the people without whom the NSU Science Picnic would not have been possible," noted Daria Grevtsova, a youth relations specialist.
Words of gratitude were also expressed by Svetlana Dovgal, Director of the NSU Career Development Center:
"Our school year began with excellent weather and activities. On September 1st, we all came together as a single, large group, and the Science Picnic was a shining example of this coordinated effort."
Elena Krasilova, Head of the Department of Youth Policy and Educational Work, emphasized that the contribution of every volunteer was important, regardless of how many hours they spent on the site:
"Only when we have many of us can we pull off truly large-scale and high-quality events. We believe in you, in our new volunteer team, and hope to work together to make this academic year vibrant and engaging."
She concluded:
"I'm sure that becoming a volunteer isn't a coincidence, but an inner state of mind, a need to help. They're a special category of people, and I'm happy to be here with you today."
