Intellectual and Creative Quiz: “Our Alma Mater Through the Lens of Time”

On 13 November, an intellectual and creative game entitled “Our Alma Mater Through the Lens of Time” was held under the moderation of Yuliia Kishchenko, Head of the Department of English Philology and World Literature named after Professor Oleh Mishukov, and Nataliia Bazylevych, Associate Professor of the Department. The event was dedicated to the history, traditions and outstanding figures of Kherson State University.

The event provided participants with an excellent opportunity not only to test their knowledge of their university but also to discover lesser-known chapters of its history, recall significant events, distinguished alumni and lecturers, as well as the University's cultural and educational achievements.

The quiz programme consisted of two interactive rounds. Using the Wordwall and Kahoot platforms, participants answered questions and demonstrated their erudition, resourcefulness, attentiveness and quick thinking. The tasks related to the University's founding in 1917, its historical transformations, prominent members of the university community and contemporary symbols of Kherson State University generated particular interest.

The meeting concluded with a creative activity in which participants learned to write cinquains about their university, seeking to convey its unique atmosphere, values and special place in their lives in just five lines.

The quiz took place in a friendly, engaging and inspiring atmosphere, bringing together knowledge, creativity and a genuine love for the University. After all, an alma mater is not merely a history spanning many years; above all, it is about people, their life stories, shared values and the collective memory that unites generations.

Kherson State University – our history, our present and our shared future!
