Project-based learning at Baikal State University began in the new academic year. Students of the Department of Construction Economics and Real Estate Management conducted field research on the quality of the urban environment as part of the course “Environmental Design”.
Maria Vasilkova, a member of the State Duma of the Russian Federation from the Irkutsk region, a member of the Duma Committee on Industry and Trade, and a former graduate of the university, visited Baikal State University. She talked to the university staff, young scientists, students and teachers.
Specialists of the Student Affairs Department organized several orientation tours for first-year students. They saw all the most significant locations of the university: the colloquium, libraries, dining halls, botanical garden, alumni gallery, the Memorial Wall and others. Having got an idea of the internal navigation, the students shared their impressions.
Dear professors and students, I sincerely congratulate you on the beginning of the new academic year! September 1 is a holiday, which is the starting point of an exciting journey into the world of knowledge and discoveries. It is a day of new meetings and friendships, new perspectives and targets! The Day of Knowledge is celebrated in every family, because it is a holiday that unites all those who teach, mentor and educate, and those who learn and discover new and unknown!
A fair “The First Day of Freshman” was held in the schoolyard of Baikal State University. 12 student associations and the student union prepared their own stations where everyone could perform small tasks and get pleasant bonuses for it: BSU merch, sandwiches, coupons and bonuses from partners. Here it was possible to catch a plastic fish with a joke, make stories out of the given words and, most importantly, to get acquainted with the structure of the university.
