This year's Student Activity Gala has just ended. The Rector of our university honoured 77 students with awards, including 14 from our Faculty. Congratulations! The awards were given in recognition of achievements in competitions and events, as well as commitment to building the university's image.

The Student Activity Gala is an annual celebration of those WUST students who are most active and committed in science, sport, arts and social initiatives.

– This is an annual occasion to offer summaries, to collectively enjoy the successes that you have worked towards all year. It's good to take a moment and reflect on how much you've accomplished over these 12 months and how many successes we have been able to celebrate together. Congratulations! – said Dr. Piotr Górski, the vice-rector for student affairs at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. He also emphasized that the rector, Prof. Arkadiusz Wójs, was very eager to participate in the student celebration, but due to health reasons, he was unable to attend.

The gala is an occasion to award students who devote their time to work in research clubs, organizations and local governments, spend their nights in workshops and garages, spend months preparing for sports championships and represent the University in international competitions, combining their activity with studies, and often also with professional work.

Piotr Gabrysch, the chairman of the Student Parliament of WUST, argued – Student activity builds our trust, community, and the strength of our university. We cannot control how others view us, but we can control how we are remembered. It's easy to judge the results, but it's harder to see the path that led to them. So, I will allow myself to paraphrase the words of Neil Armstrong: activity is a small step for a student, but a giant leap for the university and the academic community. Congratulations to everyone!

77 of the most active students have received the rector's awards. Among them are 14 people from our Faculty. They are: Marcelina Bielecka, Szymon Cichy, Wojciech Dominiak, Jakub Drzewiecki, Paweł Dzikiewicz, Piotr Gabrysch, Maksymilian Górski, Kacper Jarysz, Jakub Karpowicz, Wojciech Krzos; Szymon Matyja, Joanna Popielewska, Franciszek Radziwolski, Michał Szewczyk. Congratulations!
