On December 9, AlmaU hosted a special day – for the first time in the university’s history, its Birthday was celebrated specifically for students. The event was initiated and organized by the student club SportLife, which created a vibrant, dynamic, and truly festive atmosphere on campus.

Creative crafts – making beaded cases and bracelets;
-
Sweet treats – cupcakes for everyone;
-
Festive gifts – fortune cookies and other surprises;
-
Stylish photo zones and a photo booth, where students could capture bright memories.
The atrium was filled with lively energy, laughter, and activity — a true campus celebration atmosphere.
Young Researchers Lab – Green Zone Station
In the Green Zone, a dedicated station showcased a new initiative, the Young Researchers Lab, presented by Daniil Khazin, Senior Lecturer at the School of Digital Technologies and Economics.
The Young Researchers Lab is a project-laboratory set to officially open in January 2026. Its mission is to create a space where students from any year can:
-
Conduct scientific research;
-
Write articles and publish them on international academic platforms;
-
Develop research skills;
-
Achieve academic accomplishments that help them compete for scholarships, grants, and competitions.
The station attracted significant interest from students and became an important highlight of the event, combining a festive atmosphere with academic development.
This year, AlmaU’s Birthday became a truly unique event, blending sports, creativity, science, and student initiative. Students actively participated in activities, took photos, explored new university projects, and simply had a wonderful time.
The celebration demonstrated the importance of creating spaces for students that are lively, vibrant, and supportive of their interests — both in entertainment and in education and personal development.
