A solemn ceremony was organized at Samarkand State University to commemorate “May 9 – Day of Memory and Appreciation”.

The ceremony was opened by the Rector of Samarkand State University, Scientist of the Republic of Uzbekistan and member of the Senate of the Oliy Majlis, Rustam Khalmuradov. For the first time in the history of SamSU, and on the personal initiative of Rector Khalmuradov, a memorial exhibition was organized featuring photographs of more than 200 professors and teachers who served the university and made significant contributions to various fields. The event served as a tribute to the memory of late mentors.

In connection with the occasion, video tributes prepared by each faculty and institute were published on the university’s official social media platforms. These videos portrayed the lives and careers of distinguished professors and teachers who dedicated their years to the university.

During his speech, Rector Rustam Khalmuradov recognized and rewarded Professor Jo‘liboy Eltazarov (Director of the Institute of Languages and Culture of Central Asian Peoples), Farrux Hamroev (Head of the SamSU Press Service), and Aliqul Ravshanov (Dean of the Faculty of Geography and Ecology) as the best creators and promoters of these video tributes.

“The Day of Memory and Appreciation is organized every year”, said Professor Abdurashid Jabborov, Head of the Department of Zoology. “However, today’s event was fundamentally different from previous ones. Thanks to the initiative of Rector Rustam Khalmuradov, a memorial exhibition was created for the masters who taught us and the colleagues we worked alongside. Seeing these photos fills our hearts with deep emotion. This is not just a tribute to the past, but an expression of high honor and loyalty to our great teachers”.
