Andrey Fursenko, Minister of Education and Science of the Russian Federation personally handed out awards to the winners on November 25, 2011 in Moscow. In fact, it is the third time the SibFU publishing office is awarded with the prize in such a remarkable event. In 2009, the SibFU newspaper «Novaya Universitetskaya Zhizn» ended up in the finals and in 2010 the new edition of the SibFU newspaper — «Sibirsky Forum. Intellectualny Dialog» reached the finals as well. And it is very honorable that the level of work of the SibFU newspaper office was evaluated with the highest marks one more time.
