The first enrollment of students took place in Kharkiv. And in order to open the doors of own university, it was necessary to study and work. And the first of September in the the native “Alma Mater”. The students are building the walls of the first hostel. It is not only the development of a parallel profession, a good contribution to their financial status, but also the formation of a life position: “To be the first, to do with a view to the future, to learn new.”
The faculty is a ship. And the course where it goes depends on the captain. For a quarter of a century, the permanent captain of the Faculty of Agronomy was Associate Professor, Head of the Department of Plant Protection A.K .Mishnev. Different times were in the country.

But life is changing, the leaders are changing, and the baton of the dean after Anatoly Kyrylovych was taken by Viktor Kabanets, then Vladimir Nagorny, and the faculty is currently headed by Igor Kovalenko.
