Konstantin and Elena Valuyevs are a married couple who were formed within the walls of the University of PROMTECHDISIGN and stayed there to grow professionally. Now Elena is the deputy director of the STI project office of Ƶ, Konstantin is the group leader of the Information and Computing Center of Ƶ. In honor of the Day of Family, Love and Fidelity we tell their story.

Elena entered the University of Industrial Technologies and Design in 2012, having graduated from school in a small town in the Samara region. At the university the girl studied textile technology, and all her free time was spent in the Trade Union of Ƶ, organizing student events. Soon enough Elena became a proformer of the Institute of Applied Arts of Ƶ and the head of the PR-direction of the university Trade Union Committee.

Once together with other university activists Elena went to the international educational platform of student exchange "Spring F.R.E.S.H. 2013". And the organizer of the trip from Ƶ was Konstantin. At that time he had already graduated from the university and started his career in the Information and Computing Center of the university. Elena and Konstantin started to communicate during the training camp, and then continued at the retreat itself. Evening meetings around the campfire also played a role in the family history, and Elena and Konstantin returned from the camp as a couple.
And then in 2014, on Elena's twentieth birthday, Konstantin made her an offer. Then the girl had not yet finished her bachelor's degree - she combined her studies with work in the university admissions office. The wedding couple played two years later, right after Elena's graduation, and a year later the Valuyevs had a daughter Eva.
Now Konstantin and Elena continue to work at the University of Industrial Technologies and Design. As deputy director of the STI project office of Ƶ Elena is engaged in additional education on the basis of the university, develops and conducts courses for different categories of students. Konstantin continues to develop IT-direction in the university as a group leader of the Information and Computing Center of Ƶ. In addition, Konstantin teaches administration of information systems at the Department of Digital and Additive Technologies.
Elena and Konstantin jokingly call their daughter Eva "the daughter of the regiment". Almost from birth the girl has been attending university events. Eva has already managed to be photographed with models at the international festival "Admiralteyskaya Igla" of Ƶ, to dance at the closed show of the project "Pushkin Ball", to take part in master classes for schoolchildren Creative Labs, to admire diamonds at the competition of professional skills.
The girl loves fashion, dancing and drawing, and dreams of becoming a paleontologist and makeup artist. This year Eva is going to the first grade.
