The Easter gathering of our University’s staff, partners, and friends began with a moment of silence in memory of the late former Rector, Prof. Marek Opielak. It was an opportunity for reflection, but also to exchange Easter greetings
Among the guests invited to Tuesday’s meeting were clergy, representatives of state and local authorities, members of law enforcement, medical facilities, companies, institutions, and various organizations - partners and friends of WSEI University.
- Easter is a special time filled with reflection and hope. For many of us, this moment of pausing in the daily rush is very important. We should reflect on what truly matters - what matters in this place, which is part of our mission, where we meet, learn, and grow every day, because a university is not only a place to acquire knowledge, but a community of people, staff, students, and partners. People who, together with us, create an environment conducive to growth and the discovery of new opportunities. Today’s gathering is a beautiful example of just how important relationships and moments are that allow us to be together beyond our daily duties - said Teresa Bogacka, Dr. h.c., President of WSEI University.
As President Teresa Bogacka emphasized, Easter also reminds us of the power of community - that people are what matter most, along with mutual respect, trust, and kindness: - These are the foundations that allow us not only to work well, but also to feel good every day. I would like to wish you all that this festive season brings you peace, joy, and respite. May the holidays be an opportunity to spend time with your loved ones and bring much goodness and optimism to both your professional and personal lives.
The University’s rector, PhD. Mariusz Paździor, a professor at WSEI University, noted that each of us represents our own discipline and can view the Gospel message of the Resurrection through the lens of that discipline. He extended holiday wishes to everyone present: - As we enter Holy Week, I wish you peace of mind, good health, a joyful atmosphere, a family-oriented approach to the holidays, and the restoration of the relationships that concern each of us.
Jacek Czerniak, Member of Parliament and Deputy Minister at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, recalled what the holidays used to be like: - The atmosphere and the sense of community were always the most important things during the holidays.This connection between people is the highest value today and always - emphasized Deputy Minister, encouraging everyone to buy Polish products when preparing holiday meals.
Rev. Dr. Artur Miziński, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Lublin, wished those present fulfillment in carrying out their various roles and responsibilities in society: - May this care, these values, this wisdom, and this uniqueness bear fruit and be a source of joy for all of us. May none of us lack this joy of the Lord’s Resurrection - concluded Bishop Miziński.
On behalf of the Mayor of Lublin, Anna Augustyniak, his Deputy, extended greetings to all employees and partners of WSEI University, while on behalf of the Marshal, Marek Wojciechowski, Deputy Marshal of the Lublin Province, and Ewa Dumkiewicz-Sprawka, Deputy Director of the Lublin Local Government Teacher Training Center.
Thank you all for this time together - we wish you a peaceful and joyful Easter.
