Kherson State University

Congratulations to Oleh Tarasenko on being awarded the academic title of Associate Professor of the Department of Medicine at Kherson State University!

The relevant decision, "On Approval of the Decisions of the Attestation Board of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine dated February 26, 2026, regarding the conferment of academic titles and awarding of scientific degrees," has been published on the Ministry's website.

Dear Oleh Mykolaiovych, we wish you inspiration, energy, and new professional achievements! Your expertise strengthens the Faculty of Medicine and our University!

Kherson State University joined the Community Action Day "Universities + 'How Are You?' Services," organized as part of the "How Are You?" All-Ukrainian Mental Health Program with the support of the Ivano-Frankivsk Regional State Administration.

Representing the Faculty of Medicine, Olha Lytosh, Anna Stadnyk, and Alyona Makarova participated in the event, representing the student community and exploring mental health support practices.

The event took place at the "Veteran Pro" veteran space, where participants learned about comprehensive assistance for veterans and their families, as well as regional support initiatives.

Additionally, the opportunities provided by the "How Are You?" All-Ukrainian Program were presented alongside the experience of KSU, specifically the activities of the Center for Psychological Resilience and Well-being currently operating in Ivano-Frankivsk.

Participation in such events is a vital step toward developing interregional cooperation and strengthening the university's role as a space for support, interaction, and social recovery.

Knowledge that heals. Initiative that inspires. Care that matters.

Third-year medical students, Olha Stepanova and Anna Savelieva, held a warm, meaningful, and incredibly insightful meeting with schoolchildren focused on staying healthy during the cold season.

As part of the educational event "Winter Without Illness," these future healthcare professionals did more than just share expert knowledge. In an accessible and interactive format, they discussed the prevention of seasonal diseases, boosting the immune system, and the vital importance of a healthy lifestyle. Engaging communication, practical advice, and sincere dialogue made the meeting truly beneficial and inspiring.

For their active involvement in educational outreach, their responsible commitment to youth health, and for organizing this topical session, the students were honored with certificates of appreciation from the Commission on Ecology and Healthy Lifestyle and the "Dyvosvit" Club of the City Student Parliament.

We are proud of our students, who are already confidently bridging the gap between their studies and real-world impact, shaping a healthy and conscious future.

Keep up the great work!

Winter Admission at KSU — a confident step toward your higher education.

Dear University Community!

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we bow our heads in memory of the millions of innocent people destroyed by hatred, discrimination, and inhuman ideology. The Holocaust serves as a tragic reminder of what happens when human life is devalued and the world remains silent in the face of evil.

Today, these lessons of history resonate with particular pain and relevance, as Ukraine once again endures war, genocidal practices, and mass crimes against the civilian population. We see how hatred and violence are again attempting to destroy people's right to life, freedom, and dignity.

While remembering the victims of the Holocaust, we simultaneously honor the memory of all those killed in the war against Ukraine and express our solidarity with those who today fight, heal, rescue, and protect life. It is our duty to remember, to speak the truth, and to never allow the tragedies of the past to be repeated in the present.

We remember. We unite. We stand against evil.

Sixth-year medical students (Specialty 222) sincerely congratulate Kherson State University on its significant milestone — the 108th anniversary of its founding!

These 108 years represent a journey of great achievements, resilience, and the dedicated work of generations of faculty and students. Today, in these especially challenging times, we feel the strength, wisdom, and unconquerable spirit of our Alma Mater more than ever. We are proud to be part of this great history and are grateful for the knowledge and opportunities provided to us as future healthcare professionals.

We wish our university prosperity, peace, and a swift return to its home walls. To our entire community, we wish health, faith, and success in all endeavors!

KSU is not just walls — it is the people, it is the spirit!With respect and love,The 6th-year Medical Students
