The Chancellor of the Nicolaus Copernicus Superior School took part in the official celebrations of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University Day, which took place on May 28. During the event, state decorations and the UKSW Rector awards were presented. The UKSW Day celebrations coincided with the 44th death anniversary of the University’s patron. 

 During the annual festivities, the Schuman Auditorium on the Wóycicki campus was attended by representatives of state and local authorities, rectors of Warsaw universities, and the UKSW academic community: university authorities, academic lecturers, administrative staff, students, and doctoral candidates. For the first time, Archbishop Adrian Galbas SAC, Metropolitan of Warsaw and graduate of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University, attended the annual ceremony in his role as Grand Chancellor of the Church Faculties of UKSW. 

 In his speech inaugurating the UKSW Day, Rev. Prof. Ryszard Czekalski noted that it was the culmination of the celebrations of the silver jubilee of Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University in Warsaw. The UKSW Rector emphasized that the University is a dynamically developing interdisciplinary research center, created by a community of “exceptional people”: lecturers, students, doctoral students, and administrative staff. 

Minister Małgorzata Paprocka, head of the Chancellery of the President of the Republic of Poland, accompanied by the Rector of UKSW, presented medals on behalf of President Andrzej Duda to UKSW lecturers and administrative staff for “exemplary, exceptionally conscientious performance of their professional duties.” 

Scientific Awards were presented for the fifth time during the UKSW Festival, and the UKSW Rector Scientific Distinctions were given for the second time.
