On June 25, the traditional ceremony of honoring the best graduates of higher educational institutions of St. Petersburg took place in the atrium of the Commandant’s House of the Peter and Paul Fortress. Among them was Igor Mikhnevich, a graduate of the Automobile and Road Faculty of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering.
Recognition Ceremony
Let us recall that this event has been held since 2003 to recognize the merits of university graduates. Its organizers are the Committee on Youth Policy and Interaction with Public Organizations and the Council of Rectors of Universities of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region.
This year, 60 universities in the city selected their best graduate to participate in the ceremony. The selection criteria included academic, scientific and social success, as well as initiative and leadership qualities.
The gathering was greeted by the Vice-Governor of St. Petersburg Natalia Chechina. The graduates were presented with letters of gratitude and commemorative bronze statues in the form of a sphinx – a symbol of wisdom, intelligence and fortitude.
In honor of the graduates, a midday shot was fired from the Naryshkin Bastion cannon.
Igor Mikhnevich: “A favorite thing always leads to success”
Igor Mikhnevich admits that four years ago he chose his future profession and university consciously: he realized that he wanted to work and develop in the transport sector, and SPbGASU is the best specialized university that will give him the opportunity to obtain all the necessary professional competencies.
“I chose the “Transport Process Technology” program based on my experience: I have been working at the St. Petersburg State Institution “Transport Organizer” since my first year and have worked my way up from a motor transport dispatcher to a specialist in the transport infrastructure department, so I plan to dedicate my work to the passenger transport of St. Petersburg. I got into this organization after winning the first grant competition of St. Petersburg State University of Architecture and Civil Engineering. Then my academic supervisor suggested taking statistical data from the “Transport Organizer”, where the head of the department where I now work not only provided me with the data, but also offered me a job. During my studies, I combined my studies with work: it was often not easy, but over the years I was able to grow professionally,” Igor said.
The student also managed to engage in scientific work related to urban passenger transport, including rapid bus transportation and on-demand transport. Both topics are very relevant, since such services are just beginning to appear in our country. The essence of his research was to study foreign experience in implementing such transport systems, to derive certain dependencies and to assess the feasibility of implementing them in our country and in St. Petersburg in particular.
“High-speed bus transportation is a “metro” on the ground, where instead of the usual trains, a bus rolling stock is used. This is convenient in the conditions of a modern metropolis, since less money needs to be spent on the infrastructure for such transport. The essence of on-demand transport is fast and convenient delivery of passengers by buses without a fixed route, a kind of symbiosis of taxi services and a regular bus. Such a service is convenient in suburban areas, where the frequency of public transport is low, but the demand for transportation is quite high,” Igor explained.
He is sure that you just need to love your work, perceive it not as something due, but as a hobby, because when you do what you love, it is much easier to achieve results. And he will remember his studies for their eventful semesters and the acquisition of many new friends.
