On Monday, November 13, 2023, students of the first (bachelor) and second (master) levels of higher education, who are studying in the specialty 071 “Accounting and taxation” at the department of accounting and auditing of FR II THCHE, had the opportunity to talk with the Visiting Professor from the USA, Dr. Kurt Stahura. Dr. Kurt A. Stahura is a professor at Niagara University. Previously he served as Managing Director of UNLV-Singapore, part of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).

At a meeting with students in the form of an active discussion, Prof. Kurt A. Stahura raised topical issues of the role of an educational institution in a person’s life, the importance of obtaining a higher education, areas of personal development, features of the development of soft and hard skills, and problems of modern communication. The question of the influence of social networks and artificial intelligence on the formation of personal relationships and the construction of a network of professional connections was not overlooked.

Feedback from students participating in the meeting:

 «… The professor’s lecture was very interesting. He inspired us that even if we are afraid of something, we should still take risks. He explained what experience can be gained in a higher educational institution for a successful future. His speech made us understand that some events happen in life to help our development. I am grateful that the professor came to us from afar and we were able to hear his lecture».

«The lecture was very interesting for me, as it discussed what a higher education institution and learning opportunities can provide us. It was very interesting to hear the point of view of a foreign professor on this topic. I believe that we often do not think about how much the institute can help us not only learn the material, but also teach us to work in a team, take responsibility and build relationships».

Márcenyuk Eleonora, 4th year

«Impressions from both the lecture and the lecturer are positive. We analyzed the skills that we receive and master in the educational institution. The lecturer’s teaching method itself was interesting, because everyone was involved in an active discussion of important issues. We also received valuable advice from teachers».

Pomaskina Nikoletta, 4th year

«This guest lecture was a very positive experience for me. First, we heard a completely new view of the world from the lecturer and received an extraordinary impulse. Secondly, I liked the dynamics of the class, because I felt that the lecture turned from a speech into a conversation, which allowed us to get to know the lecturer even more. Finally, in my opinion, it was useful for the whole group that they communicated and interacted in English».

Szolnoki Péter, 4th year

«In my opinion, we were participants in a rich lecture that contributed to the development of language skills and replenishment of professional vocabulary».
