Dear Students,

Before us: the Easter holidays. According to the Rector of the University of Wrocław, Prof. Dr. habil. Przemysław Wiszewski, “regardless of our attitude towards Christianity, in European culture this is a moment of reflection”.

On this occasion, I would like to send to you my warmest Easter wishes: peace, relaxation, rest in these difficult times.

As we all can see, we are indeed still living in difficult times. The illness rate at our University, also at our Faculty, has exceeded that of November 2020. Our University, and our Faculty, take all measures to master this epidemic as soon as possible. Because we all want to return, as soon as possible, to our normal study activities.

And I think, you too want us all to be able to meet again just as before, directly and all together in our lecture rooms. Of course, I am aware that the current conditions of our “distant study” (through cold computer screens) are not, to say it mildly, optimal.

We want to provide you with the best possible study conditions in these difficult times. This means: both the best quality of our education and appropriate care of you. I would like to assure you that you can count on us.

There are signs of (cautious) optimism. Our teachers could already get vaccinated. In some time the possibility of vaccinations will be available to everyone willing it. And also: if we look around us – a breath of spring is everywhere…

I wish you, I wish all of us, a Happy Easter – and also good weeks and months to come.
