The student community and the teachers of the Faculty of Economics at Trakia University launched today their new initiative - BusinessClub. The official event took place in the Academic Information Center of the university. The initiative is part of the solemn celebrations on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of the faculty.
The chairman of the club, Stefan Ivanov, a third-year student majoring in "Regional Economy and Management", shared with the attendees that the purpose of the newly formed club is to promote the development of young people with the help of mentors from the business sector, as well as to provoke students to look at cooperation between the university, faculty and business as a process in which each party must be active.
"You are the people who will change Bulgaria in the next 20-30 years. Therefore, I urge you to stay in Bulgaria and turn it into a flourishing country!" Prof. Dobri Yarkov, rector of Trakia University, said during his greeting to the students. "
"When we work in the same direction with the university and business, it means that our priority is young people, so that they have a path to development and upgrading. It is gratifying that the Faculty of Economics at Thrace University shows visionary thinking and supports its students, but also contributes to the whole community. Stara Zagora Municipality will always be a partner of Thrace University, as well as its students, when we talk about such initiatives. It makes sense!" said the Deputy Mayor of Stara Zagora Municipality Radostin Tanev to those present.
Currently, eight students from the various specialties of the Faculty of Economics are members of the club, led by their mentor - Associate Professor Nikolay Penev, but they hope to attract many more of their colleagues in order to expand its scope and activities as much as possible. The ambition of the young people is that the club offers and organizes various events, practical trainings, public lectures and others with leading authorities from various spheres of socio-economic and scientific life on current topics, with the possibility of discussions with a wide audience.
The guest speaker at the opening event was Teodosiy Teodosiev (Theo), a teacher of applied mathematics and physics, who gave a public lecture on the topic "On high intelligence - natural, artificial and other ...."
Among the guests of the event were also the director of the Directorate "Transport, cleanliness and ecology" of the Municipal Administration Rositsa Koprivchina, the head of the "Investment department " Rositsa Raykova, representatives of the rector's and dean's leadership, of state and social institutions, of business and branch organizations, students, as well as students from the region.
