Reconstructed Thermal campus was opened at the university

On April 12, on the Day of Science Workers, Satbayev University hosted the opening ceremony related to the reconstructed Thermal campus of University. This became possible thanks to the work of O.Baikonurov Mining and Metallurgical Institute’s as well as Energy and Mechanical Engineering Institute’s directors Kanai Rysbekov and Kassym Yelemessov.

The teachers spoke on the difficult path of reconstruction and expressed gratitude to Satbayev University’s friends, whose invaluable contribution helped the university to complete it. One of the walls of the building was decorated with a commemorative plaque listing all the sponsors of the reconstruction.

Kanysh Satpayev’s descendants, teachers, students, as well as SU partners attended the opening ceremony. The students could not help being glad and lifted their favorite teachers in an embrace. Such emotional gratitude was also awarded to Infrastructure Management Director Tynybekov Reshat Imelovich, who had coordinated the reconstruction.
