Prof. Elżbieta Żądzińska presented Magdalena Łuczak with a letter of congratulations during yesterday's meeting at the University of Lodz Rector's Office.
The University of Lodz is extremely proud that a person who combines scientific interests with a passion for sports and achieves success in the international arena is a member of its community. I would like to point out that your achievements emphasize the importance of the Studies and Sports programme, which has been developed with such talented and ambitious students like you in mind. As a university, we are happy that we can support and promote such talents, making it possible for young people to simultaneously pursue their sport and academic careers
– reads the letter signed by the Rector.
Magdalena Łuczak, devoting herself to a sports career, studies at the University of Colorado in the USA and at the same time at the Faculty of Economics and Sociology of the University of Lodz. This is possible thanks to the Studies and Sports programme that has been implemented by our university. It makes it possible to combine a sports career with high-level academic education. It offers student-athletes the flexibility of learning and the support necessary to achieve success in both fields. Thanks to this, Magdalena Łuczak can also represent Academic Sport Association in Lodz.
