On the morning of August 3, Sergey Mitrofanov, one of the brightest and most talented graduates and employees of our school, passed away suddenly in St. Petersburg.

He was a favorite student and partner of Thomas Gadd, a catalyst for the development of many innovative projects, a charismatic speaker and leader of the SSE Alumni community. Sergey willingly shared his experience, lecturing all over Russia.    It is impossible to believe his passing. The bright and kind memory of him will remain in the hearts of all those who ever knew him and worked with him.
