ASU Honorary Professor Celebrates His Birthday at His Home Faculty of Physics and Mathematics

Astrakhan State University held a solemn meeting of the Council of the Faculty of Mathematics & Information Technologies, dedicated to the 80th birthday of Grigory Piltyay, one of the oldest teachers of the university.

On this high day, the veteran received congratulations from representatives of the ASU top management, colleagues, alumni and students. The meeting was opened by Lyudmila Tovarnichenko, the Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics & Information Technologies. The territory of Writing & Thinking brought together those who mastered the sciences under the careful guidance of Prof. Piltyay and who have been working with him side by side for years. Interestingly enough, most of his colleagues used to be his students. For example, Konstantin Markelov fondly and gratefully remembers his studentship and the great value of Prof. Piltyay’s classes.

On behalf of the ASU top management, Konstantin Markelov handed a letter of gratitude and testimonial to the hero of the occasion.

The professor has contributed to the establishment of the Faculty of World Economy & Management at ASU and opened the professional way for the whole galaxy of economists. Besides, Prof. Piltyay used to take active part in activities of the Admission Campaign and even headed the ASU Trade Union. All the employees who have worked with the professor note his scrupulous honesty, top-class professionalism, decency and self-discipline.

Grigory Piltyay also took the floor at the end of the meeting: he told the audience a couple of stories from his teaching experience and proved that he still remembers perfectly each of his students and their first professional steps which were taken under the guidance of the professor from the very school-time.
