Russian University Visit with SRAS
Welcome to St. Peterburg! Добро пожаловать в Санкт-Петербург!
You have been invited here in preparation for a live-steam tour around St. Petersburg State Pedagogical University campus. You’ll be joining Natasha, SRAS Peer Tutor. SRAS is excited to bring you to St. Petersburg virtually and we hope one day we’ll see you here in person.
Very nice to meet you! Очень рады познакомиться!
Let’s start by letting Natasha introduce herself:
So how does this work? Your instructor will let you know when the excursion will take place and how to access it. At the designated time, log in and imagine yourself in St. Petersburg! Natasha will tell you a bit about herself and show you around. During the excursion, please consider the following:
- If you can’t hear – let us know – send a chat or speak up
- If you have a question, don’t be shy – just ask or send it via chat

See you soon! Скоро увидимся!
