The final of the 1st National Award “Student of the Year” has finally taken place.
Ekaterina Leonova, a student of the Economy and Management faculty, became a prize winner in the nomination “Creative Person of the Year”.

“Frankly speaking, I had a lot of second thoughts about participation this year. I already participated in this competition back in 2019 and received a special prize. Therefore, I was afraid that I would not be able to repeat my success this year, but then I realized – if I did not believe in myself, I would not achieve anything at all. So, I pulled myself together and applied to compete and do my best.
I wrote a script and filmed a small video for the first stage and made it to the second one. There I had to go through an interview and case solving. I held my ground during the commission interview and received nice feedback from them.
⠀
I received an unusual case for the nomination “Creative Person of the Year” – I had to organize a so-called litter pick. It was a completely new experience for me, but I succeeded.
⠀
When I was going to the award ceremony, I was really worried that I will not win anything and haven’t gained anything in the professional field. When I heard my name, I couldn’t hold a scream of joy. I was extremely happy that I managed to make this step forward achieve a higher result. Now I am completely sure, that more victories await me in the future”, – says Ekaterina.
