On April 28, 2025, an event dedicated to the works of the great English playwright Shakespeare was held in the Marble Hall, organized by the Department of English Language and Literature.

A poem written by the department's teacher, American specialist Michael Collins, expresses the essence of the day in poetic language.

The poem emphasizes how teachers and students came together for a common purpose, the performances of the participants, and the young actors showcasing their stage skills.

We present this poem to you:

14 Lines for a Legend

Students, instructors, administrators, in one place,

Were united by a common wish: to honor the Bard.

Their treasured Khazar University learning space

Became the scene of a gathering not to disregard.

Bravely did the several presenters stand,

Saluting Stratford-upon-Avon's famed son.

In Marble Hall — nothing short of grand —

What's typically "work" actually looked "fun."

A visitor from afar displayed his poetic skills.

Khazar stalwarts found another way to teach.

Young actors served up some dramatic thrills.

The founder and chairman gave a fine speech.

What a wonderful event last April the 28th saw,

For those respecting Shakespeare's word as law.
