Dear teachers, students, employees of the St Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering!

Please accept my congratulations on the Day of Knowledge!

1 September is a special holiday for all who study and teach. We meet it with optimism, high expectations and ambitious plans.

SPbGASU has always been up with the times, continuously developed and improved. Our university is at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, occupies high positions in the rankings, and trains competitive specialists. I am sure that the new academic year will see bright events, victories and projects. Together we will overcome any obstacles, achieve all our goals!

Dear first-year students, direct your strength and energy to good deeds. Absorb knowledge, engage in social activities so that SPbGASU becomes your second home.

Dear senior students, be hardworking, acquire new competencies, actively engage in research work. Student years are not only the most fun, but also the most responsible time. Right now you are laying the foundation for your future career.

Dear colleagues, your mission is to share knowledge, ideas and experience. You inspire to accomplishments, you contribute to the formation of a firm life position among young people. May everything that you give to others return to you a hundredfold, and may noble work bring satisfaction and joy.

I wish you all good health, success, happiness and prosperity in the new academic year!
