“What an honor. Even before I came to this university, I had heard comments about its reputation as one of the best in Ukraine. My short time in Sumy has been reminiscent of my many weeks living and working in Chernihiv – full of the eager faces (of students), unrivaled hospitality, and great expectations for the future. I am confident that my journey will be nothing short of incredible, and I look forward to seeing my colleagues and students in a month. Thank you all for your generosity and kindness, and get ready – the American is coming!”

In this way Benjamin Stewart, a higher education volunteer from Peace Corps Ukraine, expressed what he felt after visiting us. On November 7 he arrived to our city to discuss the cooperation with Foreign languages department. The Staff and the students are looking forward to seeing him soon!
