By decision of the TSU Academic Council, the Ivane Javakhishvili Medal has been awarded to Mikheil Chkhenkeli for his special contribution and fruitful organizational activities.  

 

Rector of TSU, Giorgi Sharvashidze noted that Mikheil Chkhenkeli has been given the highest award – the Ivane Javakhishvili Medal – for his contribution to the university’s development, organizational activities and all the positive changes initiated and organized by him. “The Academic Council made this decision unilaterally.
