In order to ensure national-patriotic education of students at the University, activities are held aimed at shaping the national consciousness, nurturing love for the native land, its history, cultivating the best features of the Ukrainian mentality, nurturing a caring attitude to the national wealth of the country, language, culture and traditions. Curatorial hours play a special role in the educational process.
On the initiative of the President of the University in 2017, the form of curatorial hours was changed and each faculty was invited to hold general faculty curatorial hours: 127 “Build a Temple of Your Soul” and a discussion platform “On the Features of Studying, Internships in Universities of the USA and Europe” with participation of young people Natalia Pryshlyak, Head of the Department of Postgraduate and Doctoral Studies Tatiana Goncharuk, Head of the Process and Equipment Department of Processing and Food Production named after Professor PS Bernik Vitaliy Janovich.
This form received approving feedback, because in accordance with the defined topics, 12 general faculty curatorial hours were held, 128 number of students-participants were increased to 4 thousand and the formal curatorial hours in academic groups were minimized.
The university curatorial hour "First was the Word, and the Word was God" with the participation of leading actors of the Regional Academic Music and Drama Theater them. M. Sadovsky. In order to preserve the national traditions, customs and ceremonies of the Ukrainian people, in December 2017, a cultural and artistic event "St. Andrew's Evening" was held.
Parents 'meetings, traditionally held in September at all faculties with the participation of the pro-rectors, deans, curators responsible for hostels, who analyze the success of students' studies, their participation in university life, and determine ways to improve youth creative growth, have become an effective form of interaction with parents.
Meetings with students who live in hostels are a positive result in the educational process, adherence to the rules of residence in dormitories and ensuring improvement of living conditions.
Thus, during the period September-October 2017, 6 such meetings were held with the participation of the university management, deans of faculties and heads of structural divisions. The meetings were attended by about 1.5 thousand students. In the dynamic development of the university, strengthening its positive image, a large role is assigned to the bodies of student self-government: the student council and the student union. Student government and student union representatives are members of the Academic Council of the University. In order to work closely together, the university management constantly meets with the student asset.
An excellent incentive for excellent student learning and self-development was the annual Distinction of the President of the University "Best Faculty Student", "Best College Student", which is twice a year received by students who are excellent students and take an active part in the life of the university.

At the initiative of the President of the University, the form of conducting curatorial hours for general-faculty and university-wide curatorial hours has been changed, covering the key issues of formation of a conscious personality, dated to significant dates in the history of the country and the university, providing for meetings with celebrities.
One of the most responsible areas of the university's humanitarian policy is vocational guidance, which is provided by the pre-university training, admission and training center. In 2016, one of the progressive forms of communication between the university and comprehensive schools was introduced, which continued in 2017: on September 1, 25 first-year graduates of these schools were delegated to the general educational institutions of the region, who welcomed teachers and students from the beginning of the new school year and presented gifts from the university. The colleges that gave us the most graduates were also visited: Vinnytsia Interregional Higher Vocational College, Vinnytsia Technical College, Vinnytsia Transport College, Illinetsk State Agrarian College, Bar College of Transport and Construction, Vinnytsia College of NUHT.
