This year’s Easter cards were painted by Gabrysia and Maksio, representing the youngest members of the UniLodz community.
Happy Easter!
Dear Community of the University of Lodz!
On the occasion of the upcoming Easter, I would like to extend, on behalf of myself and the Rector’s Board, my best wishes to the entire community of the University of Lodz. May the essence of this season – the triumph of life, vitality and profound joy – accompany us all each day.
May this festive period also offer moments of well-deserved rest, an opportunity to spend more time with your loved ones, as well as a moment for thoughtful and constructive reflection.
I wish you a wonderful, peaceful and truly uplifting holiday season.
Yours sincerely,
Rafał Matera
Rector of the University of Lodz with rector's board
