February 2020 Graduation Ceremony

The graduation ceremony of the autumn semester of the Faculty of Business and Economics at University of Pannonia took place on February 7, 2020. The ceremony was preceded by the traditional “Lock Ceremony”. Nearly 200 graduate students received their degree.

Anyone who was unable to attend the event in person could follow the live stream on Facebook. The video has been uploaded to the Youtube channel of the Faculty of Business and Economics which is available from here.

At the ceremony, beside the greetings of Rector András Gelencsér and Dean Dr. Beáta Fehérvölgyi, we were able to listen to the highly inspiring and motivating speech of Zsuzsanna Schleisz, Sales Manager of ExxonMobil Business Support Center Hungary Ltd., about the integration into the global world and the positive effects of a multinational environment.

„I would like to say that it is NOW the most exciting time TODAY to enter the working world, because the possibilities are endless.

For me, back in time, the multinational environment opened up the world but today you can go in the direction which you want. You can start a career with a multinational company like I did, but you have the opportunity to work for a local company, or you can even start your own start-up with leveraging on a good idea and experience of other companies.

It’s all up to you and what you will do with the opportunities around and how you use the knowledge you gained at the university.”

The speech of Zsuzsanna Schleisz is available here. >>>

A week in Lesser Poland Voivodeship

“Between 3th and 8th of November we got the chance to participate in a workshop at Sucha Beskidzka, Poland. We were hosted by the University College of Tourism and Ecology in this beautiful city, which is surrounded by the Beskidy mountains.

We gained a lot of new experiences and knowledge on Brand Research and Incubator of Startups in the Economy Area. We had the opportunity to create valuable relationships.

Although the weather was rainy, and our timetable was eventful, we had the chance to get to know our fellow participants from Italy, England and Poland. And for sure, we could not miss the must-see part of Sucha Beskidzka with it’s 400 years old famous pub and the building of the University which is in the Castel. On Wednesday we had the chance to travel to Auschwitz/Birkenau to get a picture of what they did in the infamous death factory and working camp. On Thursday at the Ethnographic park in Zubrzyca Gorna we could experience the rural polish lifestyle how did they lived in the old times, and we learnt the process of making bread from the very first steps. In the evening of the Last day we had a banquet accompanied by polish musicians with traditional polish foods.

We had a marvellous time in Poland, and we hope we can continue cooperating in this this useful and valuable project.”
