As we step into 2025, our chapter is excited to share two remarkable interviews that highlight the dedication of our chapter faculty advisor, Professor Anna Nagurney, and the courage of the exchange students from the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE).
Professor Nagurney’s Insights on Trade and Economic Policies
In the interview titled “UMass Isenberg School Prof Anna Nagurney: Trump, Tariffs & Tradeoffs,” Professor Nagurney shares her expertise on the complexities of global trade, discussing how trade policies influence global trade dynamics, supply chains, and the broader economy.

KSE Exchange Students’ Experiences
The second interview features four exchange students from the Kyiv School of Economics—Asta Motrenko, Oleksandra Horusieva, Marharyta Nechytailo, and Karyna Lutsenko. In the interview, they share their experiences of studying abroad during Russia’s war on Ukraine. They discuss the difficulties they’ve faced, their academic pursuits, and their hopes for the future.

This is not the first time we’ve celebrated the KSE exchange students on our chapter’s platform. Last year, we hosted an event featuring exchange students in a panel discussion titled Higher Education in the US and Ukraine. The event explored the challenges and opportunities of studying abroad and emphasized the importance of academic collaboration between the US and Ukraine. You can revisit our blog post about that event here:
