Dear students and colleagues,
Let me, on behalf of myself and the entire university, wish you a beautiful and peaceful Christmas filled with joy, relaxation and moments spent with your loved ones.
The year 2024, which is drawing to a close, was a year full of important events for our university. Together we celebrated the opening of the new Faculty of Economics building right in the heart of our campus, which is an important step towards a more modern and comfortable environment for education. Our students and staff celebrated successes in competitions and surveys, such as the prestigious School Recommended by Employers. We also continued to improve sustainability, a commitment that matters not only to us but to society as a whole. We were also pleased to note the increase in the number of students, which indicates the growing interest in studying at our university.
However, not all moments were joyful. The floods that affected our university and its surroundings reminded us of how important it is to stand together, to help each other and to overcome challenges together. Unfortunately, in the run-up to Christmas, we will also remember the tragic event at Charles University last December. Yes, security was also one of the topics that we worked intensively on at the university in 2024.
We look forward to 2025 with humility and hope. I believe it will be a year of new opportunities, cooperation and development.
I wish you all a happy and peaceful Christmas and a successful start to the new year. May 2025 bring you health, happiness and many professional and personal achievements.
Yours sincerely
Prof. Václav Snášel
Rector
