The meeting of exemplary students "Student Olympus - 2016" took place on the first day of the festival. The most diligent, inquisitive and industrious students of VSMU have gathered in the assembly hall of the main building. Perhaps at that time this place collected the highest density of intellect in our city. During the opening ceremony, the Rector of the university emphasized that the intellectual student elite of our university, our pride and hope had gathered in this hall. Of course, these words inspired the audience a lot.

From 1 January to 31 March 2019 the project competition to improve the educational process "85 Anniversary of VSMU" is held in VSMU.

The main purpose of the competition is to attract talented young people to the university's educational activities.

The competition is open to students, graduate students, clinical residents and lecturers of VSMU.

The goal of the competition is to include the potential of young people in solving socially significant problems of our time. By creating and implementing creative projects on the basis of VSMU, young people affirm a healthy, active position towards life and family, popularize traditional family values, a healthy lifestyle, citizenship and patriotism. The organizers of the competition are the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus, the Belarusian Orthodox Church, and the Pokrov Charitable Foundation for the Support of Family, Motherhood and Childhood.
