KSU – among the participants of the Professional Development Program for Academic Managers

A team from Kherson State University has been selected to participate in the Professional Development Program for Academic Managers. The initiative is implemented by the British Council with support from the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine and the World Bank as part of a joint project to improve higher education in Ukraine.

“This is not the first time our university has participated in this program. We consistently invest in the development of our managers, as I am convinced that a modern university must not only respond to change but also be prepared to shape it,” said Kherson State University Rector Oleksandr Spivakovskiy.

This time, KSU will be represented by seven colleagues:

Alla Tsapiv—Vice Rector for International and Scientific-Pedagogical Affairs.

Oleksandr Lemeshchuk—Vice Rector for Digitalization, Innovation, Investment, and Scientific-Pedagogical Activities.

Natalia Voropai—Dean of the Faculty of Pedagogy, Psychology, and Social Work.

Tetyana Honcharenko—Dean of the Faculty of Digital Technologies, Natural Sciences, and Mathematics.

Olga Tarasova—Head of the Department of Medicine.

Maksym Poltoratskyi—Director of the Kharkiv State University Center for Digital Expertise.

Roman Molikevych is the acting head of the Department of Geography and Ecology.

The program will begin this November in Lviv. It consists of four in-person modules focused on the role of the university in the context of societal transformations, strategic planning in times of uncertainty, and the management of personnel, finances, resources, and projects.

“For KSU, each of these areas has practical significance. We have already learned how to maintain the university community despite physical distances, develop a digital ecosystem, and ensure the continuity of education. But there are still many challenges ahead that require new knowledge, solutions, and approaches.”

Today, I symbolically presented Alla Tsapiv with a branded hoodie featuring the KSU logo. May it serve as a reminder that we are one team.

I wish my colleagues productive learning, interesting professional connections, and new ideas that we can implement at the university.

“I sincerely thank the British Council and the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine for this opportunity for professional development, for their support of Ukrainian universities, and for their investment in the management capacity of higher education,” concluded Oleksandr Spivakovskiy.
