Strategic Reconnection

Always a pleasure to reconnect with Anton Kholodov, Director of the Educational and Research Institute of International Education and Cooperation, and Vice Dean for International Students at Kharkiv National Automobile and Highway University.

Anton is not only a leader in Ukrainian higher education—he's also one of the founding professors of the Historic Preservation Program Manager project by Education Alliance for Ukraine.

This groundbreaking initiative is training teams to assess and plan repairs for Ukraine’s war-damaged historic buildings, housing, and infrastructure. With every lecture and every site visit, Anton and his colleagues are helping rebuild not just structures, but the cultural and civic heart of Ukraine.

We're proud to stand with Anton and all those working to restore what has been lost—and to create a stronger, more resilient future.
