Rector's Address

Dear students, colleagues and friends,

In 2025, the University of Library Studies and Information Technologies will open its doors to its first-year students for the 75th time. As the rector, it is a privilege for me to express my satisfaction that all of us – students, doctoral candidates, academic and administrative staff – are together celebrating this anniversary, filled with a sense of pride and belonging to this unique educational institution.

Over the past 75 years, the University of Library Studies and Information Technologies has undergone significant development, with the academic community shaping the present image of our Alma Mater – a university with established traditions, a modern present, and a forward-looking perspective toward the future.

Even today, we strive daily to meet the demands of society, and with thought and care for young people, we endeavor to provide them with a modern and high-tech environment in which they can freely express and rediscover themselves and their potential. We aim to inspire courage in their ideas and initiatives, supporting them with knowledge, patience, and dedication throughout their growth process. We place our trust in them based on their ambitions, knowledge, and life experience. The greatest reward for us is the full personal and professional realization of our students and doctoral candidates. This is where the mission of the management, academic staff, and administration of ULSIT is reflected – to nurture, educate, and train young people, drawing on tradition, so they can thrive in the present and boldly look toward the future, becoming worthy citizens of Bulgaria!

I am confident that our university will continue to be a respected and prestigious educational institution because it is a cause for all of us – the academic community of ULSIT.

Prof. D.Sc. Irena Peteva
