Is 50 years too much or too little? From the perspective of history it is a moment, from the perspective of personality it is a significant period of time that reflects most of a person's life and active activity.
These thoughts were shared by the graduates of Ushynsky University on the eve of the meeting dedicated to the 50th anniversary of receiving teachers' diplomas on June 28, 1975. All these years, the university has maintained close ties with its graduates, monitored their professional growth and used practical experience during pedagogical practices, conferences, seminars. This time we are talking about the students of the Faculty of Physical Education, who graduated exactly 50 years ago.
On September 1, 1971, the first year of the faculty had about 120 students, who were divided into 4 academic groups - 3 male and 1 female. In terms of age, 30–40 percent were young people aged 20–22, who already had work experience or had served in the army or navy (important positions for enrollment on preferential grounds under equal conditions). The second, larger part, was represented by school graduates of the same year. In terms of social characteristics, the students represented different strata of the population: workers, collective farmers, intelligentsia.
The graduates of the faculty bowed their heads in gratitude to those present at the meeting, senior lecturer G.G. Snimshchykova and academician O.Ya. Chebykin.
The highly qualified teaching staff ensured high-quality training of future physical education teachers.
A number of graduates have devoted themselves to scientific activity. Thus, 5 graduates of the faculty defended their dissertations in various areas and were awarded academic degrees and academic titles.
Unfortunately, for various reasons (some ended up in emigration or in the occupied territory, others passed away) only a few graduates and teachers were present at the meeting, who, as usual, took pictures against the background of the alma mater - Ushynsky University.
Good luck to everyone!!! We ask all graduates of this course to respond, because there is an idea to create and publish the history of the 1975 graduation (tel. +38 067 480 2926, e-mail: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.).
