Apart from student awards, best educators – as voted for by students – were also congratulated and received cash prizes.
Dr. Gafurov also handed over a letter of appreciation from the President of Tatarstan to Ms. Tretyak for her contributions to educational activities and innovations in the province, mostly in recognition of her previous work as Deputy Minister of Education and Science of Russia and former Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Kazan Federal University.
As for the Student of the Year Grand Prix, this time it went to Ivan Gushchin (Faculty of Law).
