«It's a big achievement for me and a great motivation for personal and professional growth. I try to push the envelope and get to the top in every competition where the focus is on your leadership skills,» said Anna. «It was a one-day event during which we engaged in numerous games and quizzes both for individuals and teams. Experts reviewed the key traits of each contestant — leadership skills, teamwork, and creativity. There were 5000 participants and not for once I felt like it was a competition.»
Vyacheslav Gazizov, 1st year student in History and Civil Studies programme, noted that the scholarship competition could help Master students to become more independent and gain access to any resources necessary for their scientific work.
«Despite the pandemic and related restrictions, the competition was of high demand. It is incredible how people, while being miles and hours away from each other, become a united team and show such a well-coordinated work. I am very happy. I didn't expect to win as everyone have done their best. I strongly recommend participating in the Foundation's competition. It doesn't really matter whether you'll win or lose. At the end of the day, it is just a great experience,» said Vyacheslav.
Congratulations to our students and lecturers! Wishing you all the best for the future. May you achieve everything that you want!
