In the nearly two decades since it was established in 2002, the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) has grown from a fledgling institution of higher education in Ukraine with programs in theology and history to a full-fledged university with programs that have won acclaim throughout the country. With this success in mind, the university held an online panel discussion in which five leading figures discussed and reflected on the university’s growth and its accomplishments.
Adrian Slywotsky, a business strategist at the global management consulting firm Oliver Wyman, who moderated the discussion, said that understanding what makes UCU unique and successful is important not only for the university, but that the lessons learned can and should be applied by other individuals working in different fields and industries throughout Ukraine.
Participants of the panel discussion, titled “Ukrainian Catholic University: Modus Vivendi,” were asked to answer the question: “What is it that makes UCU unique and enables it to add so much value to its society?”
The participants of the panel discussion:
