On May 14, a solemn ceremony of awarding the Sergo Ordzhonikidze Prize took place at the State University of Management. The event was timed to coincide with the university’s birthday and became part of the festive program dedicated to the history, traditions, and modern development of SUM.
The award was established in 2024 as a new tradition of the university. It honors representatives of science, education, authorities, business, public organizations, university partners, teachers, staff, and students who make a significant contribution to the development of management education, science, the professional community, and public life.
Before the start of the ceremony, the guests, together with the rector of GUU Vladimir Stroevi, went on a tour of the university. The participants familiarized themselves with the university’s facilities, the history of GUU, and the modern infrastructure.
