Dear Colleagues and Students,
the time of the most beautiful holidays in the year is coming, the time when there is space to meet the family next to the Christmas tree and at the Christmas Eve table. Christmas is automatically associated with the welcoming of the New Year. This period has its own charm as well, since almost every communication starts with New Year wishes. The Christmas and New Year period is also precious because it is preceded with a hectic time of completing scientific projects, and performing duties in the educational process that characterize the end of the semester, and we are eager to slow down the working pace, to enjoy the festive atmosphere in the family, and to recharge our batteries.
I think that the year 2015 will be characterized as one of the successful ones in the university’s history. The university had passed the comprehensive accreditation process, our three research teams acquired the status of “top”, and we maintained a high pace in the activities of scientific projects of foreign and domestic scientific agencies as well, which resulted in quality outputs.
Dear Colleagues,
I use the space of my Christmas and New Year message to thank you for your dedicated work to the benefit of our alma mater. My thanks also belong to our students, who represent us in various scientific, sport, or social competitions.
On behalf of all the members of the university management I wish you beautiful and joyful Christmas. May the lights of peace and happiness shine together with the lights of the Christmas candles in the eyes of your family members.
I wish you good health and a lot of success in your scientific and educational work for the year 2016. I wish a lot success to our students as well to overcome the pitfalls of their intensive studies, and I also wish that they would feel well at our university and that they would study here with the feeling that they get an education, which prepares them for the demands of the labor market, and offers them a gateway to real professional life.
I wish you merry Christmas and a successful New Year for 2016
Pavol Sovák
