On behalf of the Rector, Prof. Marek Kuch, Vice Rector for Student Affairs and Education, took the floor. While expressing his appreciation and congratulating the matriculated students, he emphasized that in the time of growing competition in the field of education, a diploma of a university guaranteeing excellent quality is becoming more and more important.
