‘Captains’ graduation ceremony took place at IEM on June 25

All graduates of the program of the bachelor program “Entrepreneurship and Project Management – CAPTAINS” receive the diplomas and special certificates.

The graduates were greeted by the first vice-rector Viktor Dyomin. Viktor Valentinovich told them how the ‘Captains’ program started at the premises of TSU. Unlike other universities, in TSU the Entrepreneurship and Project Management Program has the status of a principal educational program. First graduation happened in 2024. Nowadays TSU is an example of this program implementation, where the majority of graduates have their own businesses and also are the participants of All-Russian competition “Student Start Up”.

Then some words of wisdom were said by IEM Director Evgenia Nekhoda and Techology Leadership Office Director Olga Makoveeva.

The main association with the word ‘captain’ is a ship’s steersman who commands the crew and is responsible for it. The university has given you a good start. Keep the traditions, cherish your connection with each other. I wish you a sea of opportunities for your future careers, Evgenia Nekhoda told the graduates.

For the four years in the University, you received the knowledge and created a solid team which will help you in your future. You have a lot of opportunities, so I wish you to became the captains of your lives, the Program Manager Viktoria Makoveeva said.

Today you all start your unique road to success. You have been trained to organize events, run teams and show your character in trainings and disputes. You have learnt to lead and to be responsible for your teams and your actions. Starting your careers, remember the values of the University, The Director of The Charity Fund ‘Captains’ Evgeniy Isak told the graduates.
