Letter from the Rector (Changes of the Academic Calendar)
Two weeks have passed since the enforcement of quarantine in the country and since Vytautas Magnus University’s move into the virtual world. During this period, we have been not only learning to adapt to the new routines but also working to ensure continuous processes of studies and research: this has required a great deal of physical, mental, and psychological effort. I would like to thank all of you for staying focused, keeping the community spirit up, and, most importantly, taking care of the people around you that are in need of a helping hand.
