Vasily Lucashevich '01-'02 Exchange Student
 About
Vasily
Vasily attended the University of Richmond
during the 2001-2002 academic year as an exchange student.
After graduating from college, Vasily began
graduate study in Russia at Altai State University in
legal studies he also free-lanced as a human
rights education trainer.
Personal Statement
The University of Richmond is not something you can completely
describe with words, you have to feel it and live through it. You
should come here to see how nice the campus really is, how devoted and
easy-to-approach professors are, and how open and friendly the student
community is.
My experience
as an exchange student at Richmond exceeded all of my expectations.
It greatly helped
me set priorities for my future career in academic legal studies in European constitutional law.
Three years after I left Richmond, on my record you can
find 7 international academic conferences, membership in two
professional associations (Central and East European International
Studies Association and Russian International Studies Association),
President of the Russian Federation Scholarship for outstanding
results in academic research and studies in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005,
more that 40 pages of articles in scholarly journals. A LLD in
European Law will hopefully be the next step. I think that to a large
extent the University of Richmond is responsible for all this.
Aside from my university studies, I have always been
interested in protection of human rights, so since 2002 I have been
involved in activities of regional and national non-governmental
associations, as a trainer in intercultural and human rights
education. The most exciting project for me now is the distant
education course for NGO activists in human rights protection. Truly,
it took all my knowledge and determination to develop course materials
and train about 100 people, but still it is more than rewarding to
feel that you bring change to the life of your home country.
