What is a Khai graduate like today?
Engineer. Scientist. Designer. Teacher. Volunteer. Entrepreneur. Public figure.
This list can be continued for a very long time. After all, Khai graduates work in a wide variety of fields, create new technologies, teach, research, and build the future of Ukraine.
But today there is a profession on this list that is in first place.
Warrior. Defender of Ukraine.
Hundreds of Khai students, teachers, and graduates who had peaceful professions have today donned military uniforms. They are the ones who hold the sky over Ukraine. They are the ones who give us the opportunity to live, study, meet new generations of students, and build the future.
KhAI graduate of 2001, former head of group 155, and now acting deputy commander of the military unit for psychological support, Captain Oleksandr GANDZYUK.
He visited his native alma mater and from the 210th separate assault regiment handed over memorable gifts to the Kharkiv Aviation Institute museum, which will take a worthy place among the exhibits of university history.
Native buildings, familiar classrooms, blooming alleys of Kharkiv Aviation Institute, friends from student years - every step brought back memories.
It is symbolic that it was during his years of study that the Kharkiv Aviation Institute experienced one of the most important pages of its history: first it received the status of a state university, and later became the National Aerospace University "KhAI". So Oleksandr is a living witness to these historical events. Moreover, he belongs to the first graduation of the specialty "Quality, standardization and certification of aircraft".
Dear friend!
We wholeheartedly embrace you with the entire Khairian Aviation Institute family.
Thank you for your daily service, for your courage, for the defense of Ukraine. And we sincerely shake your hand for the fact that, despite the war, you remain loyal to your university.
Glory to the graduates of KhAI, who are defending Ukraine today!
Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine!
Glory to Ukraine!
