Pyatigorsk State University (PSU)

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.

From March 17-19, representatives of PSU, represented by Sofia Moiseyeva, a lecturer from the PSU Institute of International Relations, and Milana Shevchenko, a fourth-year student in the Secondary Vocational Education Program at the Higher School of Design and Architecture, are participating in an introductory seminar on media community development.

In collaboration with the SHUM Center's Translators of Meaning from across the country, they will develop concepts for media community development in order to implement these projects in their regions. The program includes a series of strategic sessions, expert lectures, and master classes.

This year, 157 people from 57 regions of Russia received the status of Translator of Meaning. What does it mean to be a "Translator of Meaning"?

It's not just a status. It's a commitment to be a conduit for SHUM's ideas in your region: supporting the professional community, sharing experiences, and engaging others in meaningful work with the media.
