Dear Kulash Duisenbaikyzy,
I congratulate you from the bottom of my heart on your 60th birthday jubilee!
Every milestone in a person's life is meaningful. For you, these years form a bright chronicle of devoted service to science, of guiding countless students along their path, and of an immeasurable contribution to the development of our nation's geographical science.

For me, studying in the master's program under your supervision was one of the most important periods of my life. As my academic supervisor, you did not merely show me the path of scientific research. You taught me to approach science with responsibility, to view every piece of data with a critical eye, to substantiate my own ideas scientifically, and to remain constantly engaged in inquiry.
Today, I want to say with special pride that, thanks to the knowledge and scientific direction I gained under your guidance, I have entered doctoral studies and am continuing my journey in science. This is not simply a great achievement for me — I consider it a continuation of the knowledge and upbringing I received from a mentor like you, a continuation of your scientific school.
A teacher's greatest achievement is the success of their student. In my current path of scientific inquiry, the knowledge and advice you gave me hold a special place. Your influence as a mentor was of great importance in the scientific interest that formed in me during my master's studies continuing into doctoral studies, setting me on the path of science.
Every piece of advice, every critical remark I received from you serves as a guiding light on my scientific path. That is why, on this joyous day, as your student, I first and foremost want to express my boundless gratitude to you.
Dear Kulash Duisenbaikyzy, I wish you strong health, a long life, family happiness, creative inspiration, and abundant success in your scientific work. May your labor on the path of science be fruitful, and may there be many new scientific achievements and lofty milestones ahead!

An exemplary career is a wise milestone of life.
Dear Kulyash Duisenbayevna, congratulations on your 60th birthday!Sixty is a major milestone in a person's life, a mature stage at which one looks back, reflects on the work accomplished, and appraises one's contribution to the country and to the field of education. From this perspective, your career in education, and especially your contribution to the development of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Geography, deserves particular respect.
Your name is inseparably linked with the history of our faculty. From 2015 to 2026 you served with distinction as Dean and Director of the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Geography, and made an enormous contribution to its formation and prosperity. Over these years you united the faculty staff and did a great deal to raise the quality of education, develop research, strengthen the professional potential of the teaching staff, and create a favourable academic environment for students. For many years, as a far-sighted leader and skilled organiser, you rallied the faculty team around a common goal and made an invaluable contribution to its growth and success. The period of your leadership will forever remain in the history of our faculty for its bright achievements, fresh initiatives, professional heights, and team unity. Your wisdom, high standards, fairness, and personal integrity have always been an example to your colleagues. You inspired confidence in those around you and built a large, harmonious team whose members know how to support one another. This is a quality found only in a true leader.
Your organisational skills and leadership were especially evident during the faculty's transition to the GTsOS management system, proposed by Rector T. Balykbayev. Adapting to the new requirements of the management system, you led the faculty's rapid development in a new direction and oversaw structural and substantive changes. There is every reason to say that this period became one of the important milestones in the history of the faculty. One of the most distinctive features of your leadership is your ability to see any change not merely as a managerial task but as a new initiative that opens opportunities for the team's development. In difficult times you took responsibility upon yourself, supported your colleagues, and rallied them around a common goal. These qualities have made you a respected and authoritative figure among your colleagues.
For me, too, the years of working alongside you were a great school of professional experience. We witnessed many initiatives, new projects, and important decisions aimed at the development of the faculty. Your work and dedication, and your care for the team, will undoubtedly remain a fond memory for your colleagues.
Your work as a scholar and teacher is a school in its own right. You have trained several generations of qualified specialists and are a beloved mentor who has guided many into the world of science. Through the scientific school that bears your own distinctive stamp, you have made an immense contribution to the development of education and science. Today your students work fruitfully in every region of the country and carry the title of teacher with honour. This is one of the greatest achievements of your life.
Today, at a new stage of your life, as a professor-researcher devoted to scholarly work and to broadening the horizons of science, I wish your research every success, and may your work continue to serve the flourishing of science and education. May your innovative ideas and wealth of experience always be a guide for future generations of scholars!
Sixty is a mature age at which we honour the past, value present achievements, and set new goals for the future; it is a bright milestone on an honourable path devoted to science, education, and the upbringing of the nation's future. On this anniversary, I wish you above all good health, well-being for your family, the joy of seeing your children and grandchildren thrive, and the fruits of your labour. May every day of your life be filled with joy and abundance, new achievements, and bright moments! May the rich experience you have gained in teaching and leadership be an example to future generations, and may your authority and the esteem in which you are held continue to grow! May this anniversary add to your renown and open the way to new, bright milestones in your exemplary life!

Dear Kulash Duisenbayevna,
Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on your 60th birthday!
Sixty is a special milestone, a time of maturity when the fruits of one's work meet the respect of others. Your exemplary life, your tireless work for science and education, your wisdom and your character give this anniversary even deeper meaning.
You have always been able to unite colleagues around a shared goal, recognize each person's abilities and value their work. The work carried out and the initiatives launched under your leadership have left a lasting mark on the history of the faculty.
You are a person of great wisdom and a generous heart who brings warmth to everyone around you. Your ability to combine high standards with care, and professionalism with kindness, only deepens our respect for you. A special quality of yours as a teacher and leader is your support for young people: you see their potential and confidently guide them toward responsible work. For you, a young specialist's success is a shared joy, and their professional growth is an important matter that deserves constant attention and care.
Your trust and support mean a great deal to me. I still remember what you said when you recommended me for the position of Head of Department: "You know all the work, you can do it!" Those words gave me strength, helped me believe in myself and take on responsibility with confidence. You not only valued my experience but also believed in my next step. Feeling the weight of that trust still inspires me to approach my work with care, keep learning and keep growing professionally.
The years we worked together were a great school for me. From you I learned how to lead a team, listen to colleagues, make careful decisions in difficult situations and treat people with respect. I am especially grateful for your advice at the right moments, your support and your sincere care. Instilling confidence in a person and inspiring them to move forward is something only a wise person with a big heart can do.
The value of your work as a scholar, teacher and leader is seen in your students' achievements, your colleagues' goodwill and the respect of the whole team. Every success of the specialists you trained and the young people you supported carries a share of your work, guidance and trust. This is a legacy whose meaning grows with every passing year.
Dear Kulash Duisenbayevna, on this special day I wish you good health, a long life, and well-being and prosperity for your family. May you take joy in your children and grandchildren, and be surrounded by the love of your family and the respect of your students and colleagues. May your research be fruitful, your new ideas come to life, and every day be filled with joy and peace of mind!
May your generosity in opening doors for young people, the wisdom that has supported the team, and your contribution to science and education always be highly valued. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your trust and care!
