Dear teachers, staff and students!

I heartily wish you a Happy New Year!

The past year has not been easy for all of us. However, it has hardened our character, broadened our experience and made us more determined to achieve the common goal, the prosperity of our country. Together we are doing a very important thing: training highly qualified specialists in education, sport and tourism. The success of our graduates on the world stage is impossible without the daily work of every one of you. Thanks to you, our university is today rightfully considered one of the leading educational institutions of Kazakhstan. Thank you for your work!

I wish to thank all professors, teachers, doctoral candidates, undergraduates, students and employees of University for their joint work in leaving year. Together we have made a major step toward our goal of becoming one of the leading universities in Kazakhstan, where the quality of education provides a solid foundation for a professional career. I am confident that this goal is achievable.

May the New Year be a year of new interesting projects, joint achievements and successes! May our joint efforts in education and science open new paths and opportunities! May persistence in achieving goals help us to overcome any obstacles and move inexorably towards our dreams!

I wish you good health, peace, prosperity, happiness and new successes!

Sincerely, Rector Takir Balykbayev
