Fourteen students of the Master’s in History Program of the Ukrainian Catholic University (UCU) received their diplomas on January 16. Participants at the ceremony included UCU’s senior vice rector, Dr. Taras Dobko; Dr. Ihor Skochylias, dean of UCU’s Humanities Faculty; and UCU’s vice rector for university mission, Myroslav Marynovych.

“Without history, the illusion of self-sufficiency and the tyranny of the moment would threaten the human being,” said Dobko. “History gives perspective, comparison, attention to details, and so to the human being. Be attentive to details, be good historians.”

The ceremonies ended with prayers in the crypt of St. George’s Cathedral and a meeting with the archbishop and metropolitan of Lviv, Ihor Vozniak.
