Our Alma Mater Through the Lens of Time: History, Traditions, and Creativity

On November 13, an intellectual and creative quiz 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 an excellent opportunity for participants not only to test their knowledge of their university but also to discover lesser-known chapters of its history, recall significant events, outstanding alumni and lecturers, as well as the cultural and educational achievements of the institution.

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

The meeting concluded with a creative challenge in which participants learned to write a cinquain about the university, attempting to capture 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 sincere 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 is our history, our present, and our shared future!
