As part of the implementation of the "Roadmap" of joint activities between SPbPU and KRSU for the development of engineering education at the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University named after B.N. Yeltsin, a scientific and educational internship was held for faculty and students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering and the Faculty of Architecture, Design, and Construction at the institutes and laboratories of the Polytechnic University.

Eight faculty members, a graduate student, and eleven students spent a week actively collaborating at four SPbPU institutes: Civil Engineering, Physics and Mechanics, Computer Science and Cybersecurity, and Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport. Each had their own, yet highly intensive, internship program. For the faculty, this included familiarizing themselves with the laboratories, studying teaching materials, and coordinating plans for joint work and projects. For the students, this included working in the laboratories, attending lectures and practical classes in their respective fields, and learning about the work of SPbPU's industrial partners.

Teachers and students from the "Construction", "Technosphere Safety", "Architecture" and "Architectural Environment Design" departments of the Federal Agency for Architecture and Construction of KRSU completed internships at the Civil Engineering Institute.

The internship began with an official meeting with the institute's leadership, which was attended by KRSU faculty members: Department of Ecology and Emergency Management (Head Erik Mambetov and Associate Professor Ermek Sharsheev); Department of Construction (Head Elmira Sardarbekova and Senior Lecturer Ivan Chernykh-Rashevsky); and Department of Architectural Environmental Design (Head Beisen Kariev).

The Civil Engineering Institute was represented by Marina Petrochenko, Director; Maxim Terekh, Deputy Director for Academic and Methodological Work; Asiyat Eliseeva, Deputy Director for Academic Process Organization and Student Affairs; Yuri Lazarev, Director of the Higher School of Public Administration and Design; Galina Kozinets, Director of the Higher School of Public Administration and Design; Andrey Andreev, Director of the Higher School of Technical and Architecture; Margarita Perkova, Director of the Higher School of Design and Architecture; and Mikhail Romanov, Responsible for International Affairs at the Institute of Civil Engineering. The guests were introduced to the infrastructure and key areas of educational and research activities at the Institute of Civil Engineering, exchanged information on research areas and educational opportunities for joint activities, and discussed organizational matters.

KRSU faculty held a series of meetings and joint working sessions with colleagues from relevant ISI Higher Schools. They discussed joint research, the implementation of educational programs within the framework of academic mobility, inter-university interdisciplinary final qualifying theses, and also worked on joint publication and project activities.

A meeting was organized for KRSU students majoring in Technosphere Safety with Mikhail Ryabukhin, head of the All-Russian Student Rescue Corps, and Oleg Savoshinsky, head of the SPbPU Civil Safety Department. The students also visited the St. Petersburg State University of the State Fire Service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia named after Hero of the Russian Federation, General of the Army E. N. Zinichev.

A master class on modeling buildings and structures using construction information modeling technologies, a master class on laser scanning, and a master class on visualizing design concepts using neural networks were organized for students majoring in Construction and Architectural Environment Design. KRSU students began implementing the first project of the student design bureau, sponsored by the IRBIS engineering corporation.

Beishembek Ashirbaev, Head of the Department of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science, completed an internship at the Institute of Physics and Mechanics at SPbPU. Over the course of a week, colleagues from KRSU visited the institute's laboratories and participated in scientific seminars at the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics.

A meeting was held with Maxim Frolov, Director of the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics, and Konstantin Kozlov, Head of the Applied Mathematics and Computer Science educational program. The partners discussed the program's implementation and the potential for KRSU undergraduate students to complete a semester-long internship within the program.

KRSU representatives visited the Mathematical Biology and Bioinformatics Research Laboratory. They were shown equipment used to extract plant and fungal DNA. They discussed technologies for obtaining experimental data and its mathematical processing using machine learning. They also visited laboratories at the Higher School of Applied Mathematics and Computational Physics, where they learned about the operating principles of wind tunnels and shock tunnels and were shown several experiments.

A seminar on current research topics was held with the participation of Maxim Frolov. Faculty from the Institute of Physics and Mechanics presented their priority research areas, tasks, and projects to their colleagues from Kyrgyzstan. Another seminar was led by Sergei Lupulyak, Head of the Virtual Simulation Research Laboratory at the Institute of Physics and Mechanics. The seminar discussed the development of software for modeling various physical processes in the petrochemical, gas, and aerospace industries.

"Transport Process Technologies" and "Software Engineering" are two other areas where KRSU students and faculty have completed internships.

The internship for third-year undergraduate students of the Faculty of Engineering and Materials Science of KRSU, Ariadna Aksenova and Yulia Klets, lasted two weeks and took place at the Higher School of Transport with the participation of specialists from the Laboratory of New Materials and Advanced Manufacturing Technologies (for the Aircraft, Shipbuilding, and Innovative Transport Industries) of the Institute of Metallurgy and Transport.

Students gained unique experience and new professional skills, actively engaged in building traffic models, which allowed them to gain a deeper understanding of traffic flow dynamics and the impact of various factors on their operation. The knowledge gained will form the basis for further study of complex transportation systems and the development of effective solutions for traffic optimization.

Furthermore, the students mastered geographic information systems, enabling them to visualize and analyze spatial data related to transport infrastructure. Introduction to transport macromodels was an important part of their training, as they enable higher-level traffic flow forecasting and informed decision-making in urban planning and transport management. The skills and knowledge they acquire will contribute to their professional development and prepare them for a successful career in transportation engineering.

The issue of adapting and aligning the curricula of SPbPU and KRSU in the areas of "Transport Process Technology" and "Transport Logistics" was also addressed. Dmitry Glazunov, Professor of the Department of Automobile Transport at KRSU's Faculty of Economics, held several meetings with Alexey Grachev, Director of the Higher School of Transport, and Dmitry Plotnikov, Associate Professor at the School. Glazunov learned about the infrastructure of the higher school, the course work plans for the educational areas, and discussed with colleagues options for aligning the curricula in the specialized areas to enable KRSU students to complete a semester of study at the Polytechnic University as part of the network educational program.

Tariel Jalalbekov and Eldin Nazhimidinov, two first-year undergraduate students from the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at KRSU, spent two weeks exploring the educational and scientific opportunities at the Polytechnic University. As part of the advanced IT education program "Development of System and Application Software for Modern Information Storage and Transmission Systems," implemented by the Higher School of Software Engineering at the Institute of Information Systems and Computer Science at SPbPU, the KRSU students attended lectures and workshops on algorithmization and programming, and participated in seminars organized by the program's industrial partners.

The students also learned about the Polytechnic's history, campus, and infrastructure. Following their first year at KRSU (2025/26 academic year), the possibility of organizing a semester-long course for these two students at the Polytechnic University in the same advanced IT education program will be considered.

In parallel with the student educational internship, Natalia Lychenko, Head of the Department of Information and Computational Technologies at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Engineering at KRSU, completed an internship at the Higher School of Software Engineering at the Institute of Software Engineering and Science. She studied the curricula and teaching materials for the Software Engineering program to more fully and seamlessly integrate the respective educational programs at SPbPU and KRSU. An agreement was reached to further develop a networked master's program and a joint undergraduate program in Software Engineering, with the potential launch of both programs in the 2026/27 academic year. The master's program will include lecturers from the Polytechnic University, while the undergraduate program will include one to two semesters of full-time study at SPbPU.

We highly value our partnership with the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University and are pleased with the successful completion of the internship. During this week, KRSU faculty not only exchanged professional experience but also began implementing research initiatives. It was especially valuable that the students immediately applied their acquired knowledge to a real-world project at IRBIS Engineering Corporation. I am confident that such educational projects make a significant contribution to strengthening international cooperation and training highly qualified specialists for the construction industry, noted Marina Petrochenko, Director of the Institute of Civil Engineering.

On the final day of the internship, a working meeting was held via videoconference between Yuri Fomin, Vice-Rector for Research at SPbPU, and Evgeny Shekunov, Vice-Rector for Research and Innovation at KRSU. Representatives of SPbPU and KRSU research groups involved in joint research projects also participated in the meeting. The colleagues discussed the current results of the SPbPU-KRSU Roadmap activities related to research, agreed on work plans for the remainder of the year, and outlined promising activities for 2026.

All faculty and students of the B.N. Yeltsin Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University received certificates of completion of a scientific or educational internship at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University.

Colleagues from CUJAE learned about the "MetaCampus Polytech" scientific and educational project being implemented at the institute. Egor Melekhin presented the concept of a digital twin of the university campus, developed by ISI students and faculty, and demonstrated the functionality of the digital platform that provides comprehensive management of the university's property assets—from classroom reservations and space occupancy analysis to space functional analysis. Marina Petrochenko discussed the institute's organizational structure, key scientific and educational areas, and the history and prospects of collaboration between ISI and CUJAE.

The discussion focused on the implementation of a joint international educational project on digital modeling of cultural heritage sites in Russia and Cuba, aimed at their digitalization, preservation, and restoration using modern BIM technologies. Special attention was given to the joint research project "Development of a Decision-Making Model for Optimal Operation of an Electric Power System Under Extreme Weather Events," led by Professor Vyacheslav Burlov with the participation of Maxim Polyukhovich, Yulia Logvinova, and colleagues from CUJAE.

The visit of the Havana Technological University delegation to the Civil Engineering Institute marked an important milestone in the development of our strategic partnership. The implementation of joint projects will facilitate not only academic exchange but also the creation of innovative solutions in sustainable development and digitalization of the construction industry. We are confident that the implementation of these initiatives will significantly contribute to the training of a new generation of engineering professionals and strengthen scientific and technical cooperation between Russia and Cuba, noted Marina Petrochenko.

The guests' attention was particularly drawn to the laboratories of the Institute of Energy, as energy security and the stable operation of power grids are more important than ever for Cuba, which has recently been hit by a series of natural disasters and man-made accidents. Viktor Barskov demonstrated the entire educational trajectory of students at the Institute of Energy—from studying power grids, turbines, and power devices on mock-ups and models to digital design and hands-on equipment handling. The research work of master's and doctoral students is carried out in collaboration with industry and qualified clients—either at enterprises or at SPbPU, using equipment provided by industrial partners. The Rector of CUJAE expressed interest in the experience of interacting with industrial partners and creating specialized laboratories on campus. Viktor Barskov received an invitation to visit CUJAE in February 2026 to participate in a major scientific and technological congress, where meetings with representatives of Cuban industry will be provided.

Summing up the talks, Dmitry Arsenyev, SPbPU Vice-Rector for International Affairs, noted, "This visit is a strategic step toward strengthening our alliance with one of Cuba's key universities. We already have a solid foundation in the form of successful joint projects in digital modeling of cultural heritage sites and in the energy sector. Our goal now is to take our cooperation to a new level by actively engaging our students and researchers in joint activities, ensuring high-quality training for both Cuba and Russia."

A panel discussion, "Visioning Digital Twins: Strategic Issues and Global Trends," was held at the Europa Hotel as part of the "Integrated Digital Twins 2025" conference. The event served as a platform for dialogue between Gazprom Neft and SPbPU. Oleg Tretyak, Head of the Digital Transformation Department at Gazprom Neft, opened the discussion.

At the beginning of the conference, Gazprom Neft's Director of Science, Mars Khasanov, presented the company's strategic approach to artificial intelligence. He emphasized that the value of AI is determined by its ability to solve production problems with measurable economic impact—from accelerating field modeling to risk management.

Modern intelligent systems are based on the synergy of neural and symbolic approaches, creating the foundation for conceptual engineering—a key discipline in managing the lifecycle of complex systems. The future of digital transformation is defined by a combination of hybrid AI methods with a focus on solving applied problems. In his presentation, he described the company's methodology in detail. This hybrid strategy combines the power of machine learning with the precision of physical models and the logic of expert systems.

Yuri Fomin, SPbPU Vice-Rector for Research, spoke from an academic perspective. He noted that effective collaboration between science and industry requires finding a balance between different planning horizons: businesses aim for quick results, while the university operates within a longer research cycle, combining both fundamental and applied research.

"We understand the business need for operational solutions and are actively developing applied areas ourselves," the vice-rector noted. "However, some tasks require more in-depth scientific research, which doesn't always fit into annual planning cycles."

The key challenge, according to the vice-rector, remains access to data due to security requirements and its incompleteness.

In such cases, digital twins come to our rescue—they allow us to work with the client to develop solutions and demonstrate their effectiveness, added Yuri Fomin.

He also discussed the current 2025 results of the POLANIS platform. The "Automation of Seismic Data Processing Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)" project, part of the Scientific and Technical Complex 3 (KNTN-3), is integrated into the universal POLANIS platform-ecosystem at SPbPU. The platform's development is being implemented within the framework of the "Priority 2030" program.

Alexander Paivin, Head of Asset Potential Management Methodology at Gazprom Neft, discussed the value of digital twins in the oil and gas industry and application examples. Dmitry Makeenko, Advisor to the Deputy Chairman of the Management Board at Gazprom Neft, discussed scalability: how to move from pilot projects to industrial applications.

Ilya Odnokolov, Head of the Prospective Development Program at Gazprom Neft, emphasized data as a foundation for determining the standards and approaches needed.

The conference was organized by the Industrial Innovations Association, intellectual partner Skoltech, general partner Gazprom Neft, and Peter the Great Polytechnic University.

Participants concluded that a strategic alliance between science and industry is necessary to create breakthrough technologies and ensure the technological sovereignty of the domestic fuel and energy sector.

In 2025, the Student Trade Union of Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University celebrates its anniversary. For 60 years, the Student Trade Union (PROF) has remained an integral part of university life, uniting active, proactive, and caring students.

Historical path: from the foundation to strengthening the role of student government

The student trade union was founded on November 16, 1965, when the idea of a separate student body capable of representing student interests was first voiced at the M. I. Kalinin Leningrad Polytechnic Institute's trade union report and election conference. Thus, an independent body—the LPI Student Trade Union—came into being.

From its first years of operation, the Trade Union took on the task of improving students' living conditions: sports and cultural initiatives were developed, the infrastructure of dormitories and cafeterias was improved, and a system of student self-government was formed.

Over the years, the organization has experienced various eras—from the development of traditions and strengthening of its material base in the 1970s and 1980s to its anti-crisis leadership in the 1990s, when the Trade Union became an important voice for students during a period of transformation. In the early 2000s, the Trade Union gained new momentum—modern work formats emerged, an emphasis on developing youth initiatives and student associations, and expanded opportunities for creativity, recreation, and self-realization.

Today, PROF SPbPU is the largest student organization in Northwest Russia.

Today, PROF is one of the largest student organizations in the region and the largest trade union for students in Northwest Russia. It is an independent, non-political, and non-profit organization working exclusively in the interests of students.

PROF's main goal is to be a support system for every student: to protect their rights, provide opportunities, assist in difficult situations, and create conditions for a fulfilling student life.

Key areas of work of PROF

Representation and protection of students' interests Creation and support of university events Organisation of student recreation Support of student associations

A modern PROF is not just a trade union in the classical sense, but also an entire ecosystem of five services:

PROF.help — financial and legal assistance, support in difficult situations, IT developments (including "Digital Pelican"). PROF.life — recreation and leisure activities at the Polytechnic University, health improvement, partner bonuses. PROF.event — creation of large-scale university-level events and competitions, training for organizers, and assistance with the implementation of student projects. PROF.edu — informal education, soft skills development, internships, career support, and educational projects. PROF.union — support for student associations, creation of new clubs and communities.

In recent years, PROF has initiated significant changes at the university:

Reintroducing mandatory winter breaks after winter midterm assessments; successfully and repeatedly promoting initiatives to increase stipends; sending contract students on vacation; ensuring that final qualifying work and coursework are submitted electronically; reinstating the PGAS for first-year master's students; combining the PGAS with the basic stipend and grading it.

PROF is about people. The union exists thanks to a team of students who want to change life at the university for the better. Being a PROF member means participating in major projects, receiving support, making friends, creating your own student community, and having a voice at the university level.

November 15, 1955, marks the birthday of the St. Petersburg Metro. Seventy years ago, the city's first line, the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya, opened, comprising eight stations from Ploshchad Vosstaniya to Avtovo. Since then, the metro has become more than just a means of transportation, but a part of the city's culture, architecture, and genetic makeup.

During this time, the network has grown to five lines, 73 stations, and nearly 130 kilometers of underground routes. Today, the St. Petersburg metro remains one of the deepest and most picturesque in the world. According to official data from the St. Petersburg government, nearly 700 million people used the metro in 2024 alone.

The idea of creating an urban underground railway in St. Petersburg originated in the 19th century. At the turn of the century, industrial St. Petersburg was rapidly growing, and the historic center, the center of business activity, was overloaded with traffic. The city needed a new, progressive solution. The construction of an underground railway was actively supported by Sergei Witte, a statesman, reformer, and one of the initiators of the Polytechnic Institute. Thus, the history of the St. Petersburg metro is partly linked to the history of the Polytechnic Institute: both projects were born from the spirit of technological progress and a belief in the power of engineering.

But the metro celebrates another anniversary this year. On December 31, 1975, just a few hours before the New Year of 1976, the Politekhnicheskaya station opened in Leningrad. That was the opening of the section of the Kirovsko-Vyborgskaya Line from Lesnaya to Akademicheskaya, which included three stations—Ploshchad Muzhestva, Politekhnicheskaya, and Akademicheskaya. The new section was just over five kilometers long.

The name of the station was predetermined: nearby there was a complex of buildings of the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute named after M. I. Kalinin, as well as the Physicotechnical Institute named after A. F. Ioffe.

The station pavilion was designed by architects A. S. Getskin, V. P. Shuvalova, and V. G. Khilchenko. It is located on Polytechnicheskaya Street, next to the Church of the Intercession and Academician Ioffe Square. The vestibule is finished in yellow metal and white marble; the original design called for a transparent glass cube, but during construction, the lower tier was filled with decorative stone, altering the original concept.

The Politekhnicheskaya station is a deep-level, single-vaulted station (65 meters). It was one of the first two stations of its kind in the USSR, along with the neighboring Ploshchad Muzhestva station. Unlike its Moscow counterparts, which were built using open-cast methods, Leningrad engineers pioneered the construction of gigantic vaults directly within the earth. For its time, it was a true engineering marvel.

The track walls are lined with travertine, the floor is gray granite, and the metal elements have the hue of aged copper. The rectangular cassette-shaped light fittings, tilted inward, are reminiscent of the Neva bridges when they are raised. In 2016, the lighting on the inclined track was replaced—passengers are now greeted by "torches" instead of the previous "light pillars."

North of the station are two dead-end branches—preparations for a possible extension of the line toward Bugry, with intermediate stations called Sosnovka and Prospekt Kultury. This year, city authorities included the Sosnovka station project in the land use and development regulations, raising hopes for the line's development.

In 2020, a project to reconstruct the vestibule and build a shopping center in its place was discussed, but the public actively opposed it. St. Petersburg residents created a petition demanding the preservation of the station's architectural appearance, and the authorities heeded their concerns.

A noteworthy fact about the life of the Politekhnicheskaya station: an episode of the film "Day Watch" was filmed at the station. Timur Bekmambetov's films "Night Watch" and "Day Watch" depict a hidden war between the forces of light and darkness unfolding on the streets of modern Moscow. Being urban fantasy films, they inevitably include one of the key elements of the urban environment—the metro—in their plots.

The second film in the famous duology was released in 2005. During a chase, the main character, Anton Gorodetsky (actor Konstantin Khabensky), finds himself in the subway. Although the film is set in Moscow, this scene was shot in St. Petersburg, at the Politekhnicheskaya station. The explanation is simple: it was traditionally easier and cheaper to arrange filming in St. Petersburg. The shot features a recognizable vestibule.

Today, the Polytechnic Station is more than just a transportation hub; it's a vital part of Polytechnic life. Tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff come here every day. They schedule meetings, coordinate projects, rush to classes and work, and return home.

The station, like the Polytechnic itself, embodies scientific progress, engineering audacity, and the spirit of the times. It not only bears the university's name—it shares its destiny, rhythm, and energy, becoming an integral part of the living history of the Peter the Great Polytechnic.

The Youth Career Forum (YCF), organized by the SPbPU Career Development Department, took place at the Polytechnic University. It grows in scale every year. This year, representatives from 47 companies participated, including Sberbank, VK, Sovcombank, Baltika Breweries, LSR Group, Gazprom Neft, Skoltech, and others.

At the International Film Festival, students and graduates had a unique opportunity not only to communicate with representatives of major Russian and international companies about their future careers but also to gain new practical skills through business games, master classes, and discussions.

Welcoming remarks at the opening of the forum were delivered by Lyudmila Pankova, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at SPbPU; Irina Nikulina, Head of University Relations and Talent Acquisition at Nexign; Natalya Borisova, Head of the University Relations Department at the Petersburg Tractor Plant; and Elvira Tuktamysheva, Head of the Employment Support Sector at SPbPU.

Over the years, the career forum has proven its effectiveness and efficiency. It's a great opportunity for students to explore various options, as all doors are now open to them; they should not be afraid to try. And employers here at Polytechnic University can easily find young professionals, noted Lyudmila Pankova.

Company representatives eagerly shared with students the specifics of their work, internship requirements, and internship opportunities. Forum participants were able to immediately sign up for interviews for positions of interest. Employers at the IFF also organized interactive activities: they offered tests, logic puzzles, quizzes with prizes, and treated everyone to ice cream, coffee, and chocolates.

For the first time, EVM participated in the Polytechnic University's Youth Career Forum. The young company is developing electric vehicles.

"Our company often participates in career forums, but today is our first time at the Polytechnic University. Working with students is a very valuable resource for us. We conduct tours and organize internships and internships. We're building an electrical engineering community, providing opportunities to gain experience and implement innovative ideas," noted Natalia Pivovarova, Recruitment Manager at EVM Electric Vehicles.

This isn't our company's first time at the career forum at the Polytechnic University, and we really enjoy it. There are a lot of students who are genuinely interested in choosing an internship and employment opportunities. And everyone not only visits and explores the exhibits but also attends various lectures and workshops," commented Gennady Lukashevsky, Communications and Employer Brand Development Manager for ITMS Group, on their participation in the forum.

The International Film Festival (IFF) also features a comprehensive program of business activities, including expert lectures, master classes, training sessions, and business games. The expertise shared by expert employer representatives is unique, based exclusively on real-life company cases. Through these activities, students can not only learn about the skills highly valued by employers in young professionals but also acquire them immediately, without leaving the Polytechnic University.

All business activities were divided into two tracks: "Career" and "Skills." This included master classes and CareerTalks. At these career events, students learned how to effectively present themselves, ace interviews, and build a successful career.

The key event was "Sobeseding," where participants had the unique opportunity to test their skills in express interviews. This allowed them to understand their strengths and weaknesses, overcome their fear of self-presentation, and improve their business communication skills. Students from technical fields and companies had just five minutes to effectively present themselves to each of five employers (Avtozavod Saint Petersburg, Arman, Power Machines, Dipol Group, and EVM).

All the students really enjoyed the forum's events; everyone was able to learn something new and find internship opportunities and future employment opportunities.

The forum also featured an awards ceremony for students who won the Alfa-Bank scholarship competition. Forty-six Polytechnic students were named winners. The best students were chosen for their academic and extracurricular achievements, active participation in Olympiads, competitions, hackathons, and conferences, as well as for their unique scientific research.

Dmitry Podolsky, Vice President of Government Relations at Alfa-Bank, emphasized: "This program isn't just financial support; it's an investment in students' projects, their knowledge, and their skills. It's an investment in their future, a desire to go beyond stereotypes, and sometimes beyond their capabilities."

Students from Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University spent a vibrant and inspiring weekend at the Kholomki estate. Thirty-four students embarked on their autumn retreat under the guidance of two SuperKultorgs, who created an atmosphere of warmth, comfort, and creativity for all participants.

The theme of the session—"in HOLO style"—combined the idea of self-discovery and experimentation with autumn style. It's a time when you want to wrap yourself in your favorite sweater and discover what it says about your personality. Participants explored not only their own style but also their inner world, exploring new roles, images, and ideas.

Over the course of three days, students participated in a variety of interactive events and creative activities. They answered quizzes, learned about artists' stories during an immersive quest, and tried their hand at a knitting workshop. In the evenings, cozy get-togethers and time for genuine conversation awaited everyone. Despite the chilly November weather, the atmosphere was truly warm and friendly.

The autumn break resulted in new acquaintances and memories. For the students, the break was more than just a weekend away, but a true space for personal growth and inspiration.
