Easter

 

Dear Community of the University of Lodz! 

On the occasion of the upcoming Easter, I would like to extend my warmest wishes, with some reflection, to everyone.

In a world that is changing faster than ever before, we need moments to take a breath – moments that allow us to stop and look at one another with care, kindness and understanding. Let this time be just such a moment.

May spring – with all its power of renewal – bring hope and openness. May it strengthen what is good in us: the courage to follow our own path, sensitivity to others and readiness to cooperate.

The University of Lodz is a community, which is dynamic, diverse and alive. It is created by people who learn, teach others, conduct research, organise work, inspire change and build the future. Each of them is important. Each of them shares their unique history and energy.

It is precisely this diversity that makes us strong.

I appreciate the fact that as UniLodz we can be together – even if sometimes we don’t know each other personally. We work together every day, sometimes only through e-mails or joint projects. However, there is something beautiful in this dispersed action: a collective sense of purpose.

May in the coming days everyone feel even more a part of our community – not through formalities but through relationships. Thanks to noticing another human being – next to you, in front of the screen, on the other side of the message.

Thank you for co-creating the University of Lodz – a place that is not only an institution, but also a home for so many of us.

Yours sincerely,
Rafał Matera
Rector of the University of Lodz with rector's board
