On March 5, 2026, at the Educational and Scientific Institute “Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology” of USUCT, a festive celebration of Spring Day took place — an event dedicated to beauty, inspiration, and femininity.

The festive mood began in the lobby of the main building, where guests were welcomed by a spring photo zone decorated in delicate white and lilac tones with flowers and balloons. Music played, a light and joyful atmosphere prevailed, and smiles created a sense of a true celebration.

The festive program was opened by a student of group 4-PO-12, Oleksandra Sniehur. To the sound of fanfares, she greeted the attendees and reminded everyone that spring is a time of renewal, hope, and new dreams, and that women make the world brighter, kinder, and warmer.

Sincere words of congratulations were addressed to the team by the Rector of the Ukrainian State University of Science and Technologies, Professor Kostiantyn Sukhy, and the Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute USUCT, Professor Olha Sverdlikovska. In their speeches, they emphasized the important role of women in the development of the university, their wisdom, professionalism, and ability to inspire new achievements.

A special part of the program was the video greeting from students, prepared for the female teachers, staff, and all women of the university community.

The festive atmosphere continued with creative performances by students. A musical gift for the audience was the famous Ukrainian song “Chervona Ruta” performed by student of group 4-VP-9, Mariia Verbytska, which filled the hall with a spring mood.

A bright dance performance was delivered by student of group 1-Iv.Men-6, Miss USUST 2025, Alina Lehka. Her energetic cha-cha-cha dance to the composition “Kozhen Raz” conveyed the energy of youth, grace, and confidence.

The audience also enjoyed a humorous stand-up by student of group 4-CB-52, Viktor Kuroiedov, who cleverly and warmly spoke about women’s charm and strength.

The final creative highlight was a performance by the dance ensemble “Euphoria” with the number Hush Hush, combining dynamics, emotions, and vibrant stage energy.
