The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich. By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments. Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.

Students and faculty from the Higher School of Design and Architecture (HSDA) immersed themselves in the world of art at the opening of Alena Darchieva’s exhibition, "Observing Silence," held at the Essentuki Local History Museum.

The paintings and graphic works on display offer a remarkable, wordless dialogue between the artist and the viewer. Vibrant landscapes, rich, deep tones, and a captivating atmosphere invited the audience to reflect on the beauty that surrounds us.

For the students of the Higher School of Design and Architecture at Pyatigorsk State University, this was more than just a museum visit—it was a valuable learning experience. For these aspiring architects and designers, observing how a master artist engages with color and space is particularly instructive.
