VVSU rector Tatyana Terenteva pays considerable attention to promotion of sport and building-up of sports facilities:
“There are three sports centers in VVSU with swimming pools and sports halls each. We have many student sports teams and we aim to involve more students and teachers of our university in sports activities. The doors of the sports centers are open not only for VVSU students, but also for all the residents of Vladivostok. Perfect conditions for sports must be available for as many citizens as possible”.
