On July 3 the Ural Federal University graduated more than 6,200 Bachelor's, Specialist, Master's, and PhD students. A traditional graduation ceremony was held for them in the square in front of the university's main building. The heads of institutes and departments handed out diplomas to the graduates and congratulated them.

"Today is the end of a very important stage in your life, but we are not saying goodbye to you, because you are becoming part of a big family of UrFU alumni. Each of you has contributed to our common history, enriching it with your successes and achievements. We will always wait for you to return to your alma mater, because there are many opportunities for you to do so. Come back as students to continue your education, or as teachers to train new generations of professionals. Come as a partner for project workshops, let's create together the most demanded educational programs, call students for internships and jobs. There will always be a place for each of you in the Ural Federal University", noted Victor Koksharov, Rector of UrFU.

During the ceremony, the graduates were treated to a live performance by the Ural Philharmonic Orchestra, gifts, and touching congratulations from their parents. Right on the stage a hundred of the best graduates received diplomas from the hands of the rector. They were awarded for outstanding achievements in studies, research, and social life.

"The most important thing that definitely helped me get into the top 100 graduates was the desire to study. In order for me to have enough time to study, it was necessary to provide myself financially so that I would not need anything and would not waste time on useless work for money. I was very lucky that the university had social scholarships, scholarships for excellent students, scholarships for scientific work, etc.," said Sergey Chalpanov, a graduate of UrFU.

The graduates were also congratulated by the partners of the University - SKB Kontur, Sinara Bank, Sber and Avalon.

"It is said that the Urals are the backbone of the country. Continuing this thought, I can say that the Ural Federal University is a supporting university for Contour. Over the many years of the company's operation, thousands of graduates of UrSU, UPI, and now UrFU have come to build their professional careers with us and have made and are making an invaluable contribution to the company's results. I wish each of you success and good luck in your chosen business. When you entered your first year four years ago, many of you probably thought that graduation was a long way off. Today, the future has become the present. And it belongs to you!" noted Dmitry Marbleorov, Chairman of the Board of Directors of SKB Kontur.

In addition, on July 3, the graduates were waiting for meetings at the institutes, as well as a party at the "Tele-club".
