New Year wishes

12 months of 2012

HSE on vacation

ear colleagues! We would like to summarize year 2012. This year was interes- ting and full of various events therefore we decided to dedicate the spread to each month of 2012, covering interesting research data from the Institutional Research Centre and university statistics. We are grateful to our respondents – prospective students, HSE undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, faculty, and administra-tive staff – for actively sharing their opinion and offering feedback and ideas for the development of HSE. We will try to do our best to ensure that all voices are heard.

We wish you to utilize resources at HSE to the maximum, to discover and to be active in expressing your interests at the university! We also join our respondents who sent good wishes to HSE through surveys. Some of these wishes decorated this Christmas tree below.
