The University of Mining and Geology is named after St. Ivan Rilski \u2013 the spiritual patron saint of the Bulgarian people and of the miners. Ordinance \u2116187 of 21st June 1995 enacted the transition of the Higher Institute of Mining and Geology into the University of Mining and Geology \u201cSt. Ivan Rilski\u201d; thus, the Patron\u2019s Day of the university was established which is celebrated officially on 19th October each year by the whole academic community.<\/p>\n

The festive event starts with the solemn sound of Gaudeamus Igitur. The university management all clad in academic gowns, the guests, lecturers, and students stand on their feet to meet the flag of the University of Mining and Geology \u201cSt. Ivan Rilski\u201d. After the congratulatory speeches of the Rector and the official guests to the ceremony, following an ancient Bulgarian custom and on the occasion of the Day of the Patron, Saint Ivan Rilski, defender and protector, blessing with holy water is given. The service is performed by a priest from St. Alexander Nevski Patriarchal Cathedral. After the wonderful chants the bearers move the flag thus beginning the ritual for the initiation of first-year students from all courses of studies to the guild of miners and geologists.<\/p>\n

The students repeat after the Rector the initiation text:\u201eOn behalf of the first-year students<\/p>\n

At the University of Mining and Geology \u201cSt. Ivan Rilski\u201d,<\/p>\n

We confess our desire<\/p>\n

To be admitted to the ever-reviving<\/p>\n

Community of our Alma Mater.<\/p>\n

We assure you that we are willing:<\/p>\n

To acquire mining and geological knowledge<\/p>\n

And master the mining and geological science,<\/p>\n

To be active participants<\/p>\n

In all and every initiative of our management,<\/p>\n

To protect the lives and health of miners,<\/p>\n

To contribute to the development of mining and geology,<\/p>\n

For the benefit of our people and of our fatherland, the Republic of Bulgaria.\u201c<\/p>\n

Then the students pass under the flag, handing over a miner\u2019s lamp. They have a glass of wine and are given their student books.<\/p>\n

The newly initiated students are greeted by the Rector. On behalf of the academic management, the lecturers, and the thousands in the guild, he wishes them every success in their studies and activities for the benefit of the Bulgarian people and for their native land reminding them Saint Ivan Rilski\u2019s legacy: \u201cBe one, keep peace with one another!\u201d Finally, to the sound of the chant Mnogaya Leta (or \u201cMay You Have Many Glorious Years Ahead\u201d), the end is put to a ritual that brings moral charge and sparks love of the job and of the glorious mining Alma Mater![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9160″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9162″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9164″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9166″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9168″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9170″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9172″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9174″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9176″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9178″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9180″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”9182″ img_size=”330″ onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_text_separator title=”GRADUATION” color=”orange” border_width=”2″][vc_column_text]A tradition has been established in our university to officially award Bachelors\u2019 and Masters\u2019 degrees at regular graduation ceremonies in the presence of the Deans of Faculties.
