The graduation ceremony for graduates of the English-language Nursing programme began with a minute’s silence in memory of the late Rector of WSEI University, Prof. Marek Opielak. The event, which took place at our University on 9 March, was attended not only by our students but also by their families from countries far and wide.
The ceremony was opened by the Vice-Rector for Development and Strategy, Dr Sylwester Bogacki, Professor at WSEI University - I would ask everyone to stand and observe a minute’s silence to honour the memory of the late Rector of WSEI University , Prof. Marek Opielak - he said to those gathered. He also thanked them for choosing WSEI University as their place of study and for sharing their culture and customs with our academic community.
A total of 55 graduates received their diplomas, accompanied by their lecturers, friends and families.
- Dear graduates, you have chosen a profession that is not only a passion but also a service to others. Your responsibility for the health and safety of patients and their families will be immense, often during the most difficult moments of their lives. Knowledge, skills, empathy and a willingness to help will be just as important as your medical training - emphasised Dr Dorota Weber, Professor at WSEI University and Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, in her speech.
Andrzej Tytuła, MD, PhD, Professor at WSEI University and Vice-President of the Supreme Council of Nurses and Midwives in Lublin, who was present at the ceremony, congratulated all the graduates and wished them every success in the future.
The academic community of WSEI University joins in these wishes. May your knowledge and passion save lives and restore health, and may they bring hope to those who need it most.
