Over the past 100 years, more than 300 000 students graduated from the university. I wish new graduates success in life and, what is most important, I wish them to never lose their links to the University.”

“Graduation from the university is an important step, but using education in practice is one of the important stages. I congratulate students on their graduation and wish them success and taking those important steps that will help develop our country,” Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sport, Mikheil Batiashvili said.

“To say the truth, I am split in two, because I feel both happy and sad, firstly, because I graduated successfully and secondly because our roads with the university will no longer be interlinked as before. But, I will recollect the TSU slogan and keep in step with the university,” Tamta Margvelashvili, a law faculty graduate said.
