RECTOR’SREPORT
20152016
The Ukrainian Catholic University is an open academic community living the Eastern Christian tradition and forming leaders to serve with professional excellence in Ukraine and internationally – for the glory of God, the common good, and the dignity of the human person.
M I S S I O N
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
In the name of the whole community of the Ukrainian Catholic University, I sincerely want to thank you for your trust and all-around support of the mission of our university. Your contribution and the support of a wide circle of benefactors in Ukraine and the whole world is allowing UCU to grow, develop, and implement innovative projects to better form new leaders for a new Ukraine. Throughout the last year, the university demonstrated an incredible dynamic: it has opened new academic programs that are called to respond well to the most pressing challenges which face Ukrainian society today. The university strives as effectively as possible to help introduce important reforms. UCU has opened a School of Rehabilitation Medicine and programs in clinical psychology and mental health which are called to prepare qualified specialists for the psychological and physical rehabilitation of our soldiers and also to foster the reformation of the rehabilitation system in Ukraine. We are also building up and improving the university’s infrastructure. In September, His Beatitude Patriarch Sviatoslav consecrated UCU’s new church and pastoral center – the University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God. And in less than a year, the Metropolitan Andrey Sheptytsky Center, which includes a library, will open its doors. The university’s rapid growth does not change our priorities in our approach to the education and formation of students. Classes in the history of Christianity, sacred Scripture, and Christian ethics are included in the instructional program. There is also the possibility to take part in daily religious services. As people of faith, we know well that our achievements are a gift from God, the fruit of prayer and the hard work of many

Christmas Greetingsfor Eastern Ukraine
Invite a Friendfor Coffee
UCU’s Student Brotherhood presented a Vertep (Christmas play) for residents of eastern Ukraine: Cherkasy, Kharkiv, Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Artemivsk, and cities along the front line all the way to Mariupol, a total of more than 4000 kilometers in 10 days.
A Vertep is yet one more way to tell about what is happening in Ukraine and the story of Christ’s birth. So the heroes of the Christmas pageant were contemporary: Herod – Putin; the heroes – Ukrainian soldiers; the Magi – similar to OSCE observers.

THE YEAR OF DIVINE MERCYHis Holiness Pope Francis proclaimed 2016 the Year of Divine Mercy. This in a special way encouraged and inspired us to be active and attentive to people in need.
UCU’s Spiritual-Pastoral Department held a number of events to help in the spiritual growth of the university itself, the people of Lviv, the Ukrainian people, and the world community.
Go to #накавуздругом [“for coffee with a friend”], make society better! With this motto, the Emmaus Center of Spiritual Support for Persons with Special Needs and Roman Kysliak, an activist with cerebral palsy, started this national effort to support people with special needs. In early February 2016, Roman Kysliak was asked to leave a restaurant in Lviv. Because of his CP, a waiter thought he was “a suspicious person.” The incident led to a wave of civic indignation. First Lady of Ukraine Maryna Poroshenko reacted to the situation and invited Roman for a cup of coffee. The young man did not simply accept the invitation but together with Emmaus called on all persons of good will to go for coffee with a person with special needs. Noted journalists, representatives of civic organizations, and ordinary citizens joined in the movement.
The UCU community began the Year of Divine Mercy with a pilgrimage from the Church of the Blessed Martyrs of the UGCC to St. George’s Cathedral. Together with Bishop Volodymyr, Auxiliary of the Lviv Archeparchy of the UGCC, we prayed for peace, for Ukraine’s students and soldiers, and for the victims of totalitarian regimes. Also taking part in the pilgrimage were teachers, students of other educational institutions, and residents of Lviv. A true gift for UCU and the people of Lviv this jubilee year was the consecration of the newly-built University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God on 11 September. On 10 September the community made another pilgrimage from St. George’s Cathedral to the University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God to transfer the Doors of Mercy icon. A significant part of our university community took part in various events and personally performed acts of mercy. We are convinced that in order to serve and to be merciful, what is necessary first of all is not great wealth but an open heart.

FULFILLING THE PATRIARCH’S DREAM
His Beatitude Sviatoslav Shevchuk, Father and Head of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, consecrated the University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God. This church is a special shrine for Ukraine. It combines three churches in one: The Crypt of the Lord’s Tomb, the lower Church of Pope St. Clement, and the main Church of the Holy Wisdom of God.
The architecture of the church represents key moments in salvation history and calls one to pilgrimage through the sacraments to joyful mission in the world. The ramps between the churches invite spiritual pilgrims to a liturgical procession “from glory to glory.” For movement and a common pilgrimage are visible alternatives to stagnation, theoretical abstraction, and individualistic alienation.
The Pastoral Center is located near the entrance to the church. This conveys its main task – to express, to explain, to prepare, to enter into the Mystery of God and His saving presence among His people.
“We want this to become the academic pastoral center of our city,” says Fr. Yuriy Sakvuk, Director of the Spiritual-Pastoral Department.
In the words of UCU President Bishop Borys Gudziak, the University Church of the Holy Wisdom of God is called to preach to the contemporary person. The architecture and spirit of the church will help us come to know our spiritual roots and lead us out, on mission, to witness in the heart of the city.
“ Allow me personally and on behalf of the whole synod of our bishops to
express our complete support of the Ukrainian Catholic University. UCU’s mission is to be a light to the world, a source for preaching the Gospel to all people, of various cultures, languages, with various preparation and at various stages of their religious life.”
- His Beatitude Sviatoslav
“Aspire to greatness!... Fill your souls with the great, the high, and keep a worthy goal before your eyes – this is what lifts a person up … The person grows with his projects and his plans.”

Thanks to the support of Ian Ihnatowycz and his wife, Dr. Marta Witer, the university has opened UCU’s Center for Leadership, with research and methodology. The center’s team is developing case studies which will be included in the instructional program of UCU’s Lviv Business School, School of Public Management, and Center for Leadership.
UCU’s Lviv Business School (LvBS) has received international accreditation from CEEMAN IQA. This evaluation demonstrates international recognition, because the school not only provides a business education and is engaged in research, maintaining the highest international standards of quality, but it responds to clients’ needs and contributes to the development of the environment in which it works.
The university encourages teachers and students to combine stationary and distance forms of learning. Thanks to the Center for Innovative Educational Technologies, electronic instruction is being introduced into the educational process. An important step was the start of UCU Professor Yaroslav Hrytsak’s online course “Selected topics in European history” on the Prometheus platform of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC).
A video academy of documentary films, DOCemotion, is a project of UCU’s Journalism School. The team’s task is to film a series of documentaries dedicated to decommunization in Ukraine. The series does not depict the destruction of monuments or renaming. It involves two types of worldviews: Soviet and contemporary. Radianske -> Ridnyi Kray (“Soviet -> Homeland”) is a story about the decommunization of a village named Radianske (“Soviet”), in which only two families have lived for a long time. The heroes state that their internal decommunization happened a long time ago and that it’s only necessary simply to change the sign at the entrance to the village to Ridnyi Kray (“Homeland”). Sector (M)ariupol. A film dedicated to the conflict of generations among the fans of the Illichivets Mariupol soccer club. Communal Flat. Young and energetic Tymofii, a worker at Impact HUB Odessa, and his neighbors with Soviet upbringing, who are certain that “ it’s not worth struggling, nothing will change,” live in an old communal apartment in Odesa. Alive and Undefeated. In Chervonohrad, Lviv Region, two choruses have been in opposition for years. In one the singers are nationalists and veterans of the OUN/UPA, and in the other, representatives of the Russian community, veterans of labor and “The Great Patriotic War.” Two Olympians. The hero of this film is a man who took part in the first and only Paralympics in the USSR, in 1988. In the USSR people with disabilities were hidden away.

The school will prepare physical therapists and occupational therapists. Regarding these in demand specialists, Ukraine has very few physical therapists and no occupational therapists at all. The opening of the master’s program is planned for September 2017. The length of instruction is two years. The instructional program at the school was developed taking into account the experience of universities in Europe and North America. Another area of the school’s work is the creation of a modern rehabilitation center to provide physical and psychological rehabilitation. This will be a site for the rehabilitation of patients and an educational base for students. In fall 2016 UCU’s School of Rehabilitation Medicine launched the social project “Horizon of Possibilities.” Physical therapists with international experience will provide free rehabilitation services to military personnel, families of soldiers, refugees and volunteers.

UCU’s Institute of Mental Health continues to prepare specialists who can work with post-traumatic stress disorder. The institute has prepared 600 trainers for work with children with the method of trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy. Six hundred parents heard the talks of specialists from the institute on trauma and its influence on a child’s psyche. The institute publishes contemporary academic literature on psychotherapy. It recently translated the book Psychotherapy for Children and Teenagers Who Have Experienced Trauma or Loss. Two thousand copies are being distributed to specialists from eastern Ukraine. Work has also begun on an educational site “Horizon of Hope,” a portal where you can find information and advice on how to cope with traumatic events.

YEAR OF MEETINGS
The university continues to be a place for formation, a forum for discussions, meetings, and interaction.
In 2016, Archbishop Claudio Gugerotti, Apostolic Nuncio to Ukraine, and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin visited UCU. The State Secretary met with seminarians from all over Ukraine at Holy Spirit Seminary in Lviv. The visit of the head of the papal government demonstrates a deep understanding of the importance of universities for Christian culture and the special mission of UCU in Ukrainian society today and the field of education and research.
Peter Pomerantsev, a british journalist, writer, and specialist in the media of Russia today, gave a lecture for the students.
UCU’s Faculty of Philosophy and Theology and Institute of Ecumenical Studies in coopera-tion with the European Society for Catholic Theology conduc-ted an international conference “Churches in Peacebuilding: Ecumenical Engagement for Peace and Reconciliation.”
Leading world theologians discussed creating a tradition of forgiveness and reconcilia-tion, the unity of the Ukrainian religious environment in the
Rebecca Harms, a Member of the European Parliament, visited UCU and shared her thoughts about the necessary steps for Ukraine’s democratic development.
Noted Polish sociologist Piotr Sztompka gave an interesting lecture, “Freedom and Moral Capital.” His trip was organized by UCU’s sociology program.
US Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt with participants of the Capstone program met with students and teachers of UCU to discuss questions of Ukraine’s future.
It is worth noting the start of the education program Case Teaching and Case Study Writing for Public Policy, run by UCU’s School of Public Management
in partnership with Stanford University’s Center on Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law (USA). The visit and educational course of Dr. Francis Fukuyama and Dr. Kent Weaver as part of the program was a significant event not only for UCU but for the city of Lviv. The first stage, the instruction of trainers in methods of researching problems and developing ways to implement reforms, ended in August. The next, preparation of officials, begins in January 2017.
In the summer the univer-sity hosted the convention of The Association for Slavic, East European, and Eurasian Studies
context of the events of the Maidan and the war in the country’s east, and how Chris-tian churches can foster a cul-ture of peace and ecumenism.
“We as Christians have a spe-cial ecumenical responsibility to be peacemakers and to bring reconciliation into our com-munities, announcing words of hope and healing for those who suffer, who are wounded or have lost their homes. Against the background of the conti-
nuation of socioeconomic insta-bility and foreign aggression, the experience of the partici-pation of Ukrainian churches in the peacemaking process demonstrates the ability of local church leaders to renew trust and national unity and to overcome obstacles to peace in our society,” said Deacon Roman Zaviyskyy, PhD, Dean of UCU’s Faculty of Philosophy and Theology.

The Need for Gratitude
Graduates Gather Building Walls and Relationships
Graduates of UCU’s Journalism School started a scholarship that will annually be given to a first-year student. Graduates from all the graduating classes of the Master’s Program in Journalism contributed to the scholarship fund. “A person who receives an education thanks to financial support feels an internal need to express gratitude,” stated graduate Marichka Paplauskaite at the ceremony presenting the award to first-year student Oleksandra Vlasiuk.
The first festive meeting of UCU and Lviv Theological Academy graduates of all years was held. The event included the official inauguration of the new board of the UCU Alumni Association. “The association’s most important task is to form an atmosphere of trust and mutual support among graduates. We will try to be constructive critics and advisors for the university,” said association president Yuriy Didula.
Eleven cities of Ukraine, 391 volunteers, 40 re-built homes, and 12 public spaces furnished… UCU graduates and students shake up the country with their openness, friendliness, trust, solidarity and joyful lives. We’re Building Ukraine Together is a project the Lviv Education Foundation started in 2014. The idea is to help Ukrainians who are in trouble and cannot solve their problems on their own.
A second-year student in the computer science program, Dzvinka Yarish, presented her project iPlant – a “smart flowerpot” which takes care of itself. With the help of technology the plant sends a message to its owner not only when it’s time to water it but regarding the moisture content of the air in the premises. “There is a flowerpot in one of our classrooms. One day I started wondering who waters it and how often. I understood how convenient it would be if the flowerpot reminded you about this,” Dzvinka explained her idea.The student harmoniously combines humanities and programming. Before she entered eighth-grade, Dzvinka wrote prose. Every year she took part in Ukrainian-language competitions of the Petro Jacyk Foundation. A few years later she was the top-rated entering student in UCU’s computer science program. She studies a lot, travels, works on her foreign languages, and takes part in programming contests. Dzvinka’s schedule is full. “It’s shameful not to be motivated at UCU,” says the student about studying at the university.

The world of Myroslav Marynovych
Myroslav Marynovych presented his book of memoirs, “The World through Barbed Wire”. This is a unique “encyclopedia” of life in the concentration camp or, as they still call it, the confessions of an anti-Soviet. “This is a story of the thought and spirit which is the foundation of the next generation.” - Fr. Bohdan Prach The human rights defender reveals all the decay and cynicism of the Soviet system, which broke the most important thing in people, the ability to love and forgive. In his words, this was a difficult time, “a time when the system, not the people, has to bear the blame for human failings. So to describe this all is like forcing the person to be punished for everything for which the authorities really bear the blame.”
UCU successfully conducted the first competition of research grants from the Believe in Yourself charitable fund. Among the winners, project authors: Roman Ostrovskyi (Professor, Theology Department) and Halyna Tesliuk (Senior Professor, Theology Department); Tetyana Hoshko (Zaitseva) (Lecturer, Department of Classical, Byzantine, and Medieval Studies); Orysia Bila (Lecturer, Philosophy Department); Taras Tymo (Director of UCU’s Library); Svitlana Stelmakh (Acting Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences); Volodymyr Khitsyak (Manager of Marketing of the Technology Management Program of the
During the presentation Myroslav Marynovych stated that in the years of his life in a concentration camp he learned one of the main lessons: “It’s not important that we fall but that we find the courage to get up after this. To imagine an undisturbed and calm life is impossible. The pain of falling and getting up shows that all spiritual processes are vertical. If you are not going up, you are falling down.“The camp was a great school for me. I tried to be a Christian in truly astonishing circumstances. For example, how can you love your enemies when you’re in a camp? What does that mean? How can you touch it? Testing the postulates of the faith on which you grew up and which you want to believe is a fantastic experience,” explains Myroslav Marynovych.
His Beatitude Lubomyr. ‘Where Your Treasure Is…’ The book collects His Beatitude’s responses to the questions of businesspeople during meetings of the Business Credo discussion club which UCU’s Lviv Business School organized in 2012 and 2015. “You need to know how to be rich,” says His Beatitude Lubomyr.
Joseph Gill. The Council of Florence.The work of the British Jesuit scholar is dedicated to one of the key events of European history of the 14th century – an ecumenical council at
which the Union of Florence was signed between Rome and Constantinople. The book is on the list of the best books for the 2016 Publishers’ Forum.
Persecuted for Truth: Ukrainian Greek-Catholics in the Conditions of the Totalitarian Regimes of the 20th Century. Through photos, documents, remembrances, and excerpts from the testimonies of eyewitnesses, this album reveals the tragic but, at the same time, heroic history of people who remained faithful to the Church. The five thematic and chronological sections of the album give an idea of how Greek-Catholics lived in the interwar period. The photo album is on the list of the best books for the 2016 Publishers’ Forum.
