Rector’s Greetings on the 16th of February
Dear members of Vytautas Magnus University’s community,
Every year, the Day of Restoration of the State of Lithuania reminds us about the steady progress of our country. The tricolour flag, raised high to mark the occasion, fills the hearts of all Lithuanians with the feeling of pride in their homeland and its people. Coming together, moving in the same direction, overcoming adversity and believing in ambitious ideas make it easier to tackle seemingly insurmountable obstacles.
The University, which is one of the signs of a country’s maturity, includes the 16th of February as an important date in its own history as well. The beginnings of Vytautas Magnus University coincided with the birth of Lithuania’s statehood. In 2022, we will celebrate a beautiful anniversary: 100 years since the establishment of the university. On this occasion, I invite the entire community of Vytautas Magnus University to get together in events dedicated to historical memory and the centennial, in which we pass on the academic spirit to the new generations and share our good practices.
On this important day, let us gain strength from the pages of history: may we all be followed by the spirit of wisdom and accord, and may the hardships end soon.
Warmest regards,
Rector Juozas Augutis
