The teaching staff of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine has been introduced to the new rector, Olga Gorlova.
The Chairman of the Vitebsk Regional Executive Committee, Alexander Subbotin, emphasized that the new rector faces a wide range of tasks to elevate the university to a new level. These include restoring the prestige of the profession, practical-oriented training, career guidance, and the export of educational and scientific services. In just a month, the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine will celebrate its 100th anniversary, which should be marked accordingly.
Alexander Subbotin wished Olga Gorlova wisdom in her decision-making and pledged full support.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food, under which the university operates, will also assist the new rector. The head of the ministry, Anatoly Linevich, stressed that the veterinary academy is unique in Belarus and that everything must be done to attract applicants. Students should also be instilled with love for their country so that their first place of employment is in their homeland.
Olga Gorlova, a Candidate of Veterinary Sciences, is an alumna of the Vitebsk State Academy of Veterinary Medicine. She worked as a veterinarian in a farm for two years after graduation. Subsequently, her research supervisor, Anton Yatusevich, who was the rector at the time, invited her to join the teaching staff.
