Among the guests of honor were Anton Chubenko, Deputy Head of Poltava Regional Military Administration, and Volodymyr Onyshchenko, President of the University, who congratulated the student community on the holiday.
Anton Chubenko noted that Poltava Polytechnic is the undisputed leader in the region’s educational space and one of the best universities in the country, with a strong material and technical base and constantly developing. He also emphasized that the University has come a long way from a construction institute to a modern European-level Polytechnic, and students here gain truly high-quality knowledge. According to him, the University’s President, Volodymyr Onyshchenko, is always in excellent shape and motivates young people to work on themselves and not rest on their laurels.
Volodymyr Onyshchenko expressed his gratitude for the high assessment of the University’s activities and emphasized that the secret of success lies in constant communication with young people, who inspire new achievements. He stressed that even in the difficult conditions of war, Poltava Polytechnic maintains its dynamic development and serves as an example for other educational institutions. The University is among the top 30 best higher education institutions in Ukraine according to the consolidated ranking and among the top 20 in terms of the number of applications submitted for admission in 2025. We are particularly proud that the ranks of the University’s students are increasingly being joined by winners of international competitions and Olympiads, students who are members of the Junior Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, and talented young people from different regions of the country.
Volodymyr Onyshchenko thanked the students for their activity, concern, and desire to realize themselves in Ukraine, emphasizing that each of them raises the University’s rating and prestige. The President of the Polytechnic also stressed that it is important to take care of one's own development, work on rebuilding the Ukrainian state, and support the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which give us all the opportunity to study and develop.

She emphasized that despite all the difficulties of the past academic year, the student activists implemented many cultural, educational, and entertainment projects, and most importantly, maintained an atmosphere of support and teamwork.
