Uniwersyteckie święto edukacji – w drodze do Prawdy i Wolności

Published at: 14.10.2021

„In our lives each of us is a student, teacher, mentor and a person who draws inspiration from others. Let us be open to the possibility of learning, no matter what stage of life we are at. Let us learn from each other, respecting different attitudes, being open to the new and unknown. This will enrich ourselves and the society as a whole” – said the UL Rector, prof. Elżbieta Żądzińska, today when opening the formal sitting of the UL Senate on the occasion of the National Education Day.

During the ceremony, which took place in the assembly hall of the Training and Conference Centre, the University employees received medals and badges awarded in 2020 and 2021.

Twenty seven employees were honoured with Medals of the Commission of National Education, 31 received “UL in Service for the Society and Science” Medals and 81 got the UL Golden Badges (The list of awarded employees is presented below).

Twenty authors (including 4 from outside of the UL) collected awards for the best academic textbook. Teams of scientists working on four titles of didactic materials were honoured. In 2020, the textbook "Nozioni di grammatica descrittiva della lingua Italiana. Fonetica e phonologia." (1st degree award) received the greatest recognition of the evaluation committee, while among textbooks published in 2019 there were: „Polonistyczna dydaktyka ogólna” [General Polish didactics] (1st degree award), „Zarządzanie danymi w organizacji” [Data management in organisations] (2nd degree award) and „Turystyka etnograficzna” [Ethnographic Tourism] (3rd degree award). The first three books were published by Lodz University Press, and the fourth one by the Oko-Lice Kultury Foundation Publishing House.

Thanking the University staff for their daily effort put into education of responsible people, prof. Żądzińska wished everyone that their curiosity would never leave them. Curiosity, which is "the best guide on the way to Truth and Freedom".

This year, for safety reasons, the formal sitting of the UL Senate took place in a hybrid mode. In the assembly hall of the Training and Conference Centre there were Rectors, Deans and all the employees who collected medals, badges and awards. The remaining members of the Senate could participate in the ceremony via the Teams application.

Special wishes on the occasion of the National Education Day were also sent by the Rector of the University of Lodz to all the University employees, students and doctoral students. She reminded them that the University of Lodz was established to always seek the truth about people and the world in the name of the University's motto: "Veritas et Libertas", and to educate to release the potential and free the minds of subsequent generations.
