Marianna Bilyk (Kaspryshyn) is the Program Director of the charitable organization Ukrainian Education Platform and a graduate of Ukrainian Catholic University.

Marianna entered the UCU bachelor’s program in Social Pedagogy in 2006. At first, she planned to study history, but when she came to present her documents, she found out about the opening of a new program: “All my life I dreamed of being a teacher-pedagogue. So I immediately registered for that specialty. The studies were very interesting and relevant. I continued on this path and my current profession is connected with this field.”

Marianna now works for the charitable organization Ukrainian Educational Platform, whose mission is to build a country of responsible people through innovative social projects and educational programs for civic leaders and organizations.

Marianna says that studying at UCU changed her paradigm of thinking and allowed her to understand the principle of respecting the dignity of each human being: “I continue to be guided by this principle in my daily activities: in work, projects, and in my family. The university offers an absolutely different view of the world, through the prism of humaneness, dignity, and liberty.”
