The Welcome Meeting

In order to help the newly admitted students in their first days at Gdańsk Tech, the International Relations Office organized an information meeting for them on Tuesday, February 21 in the conference room in the Hydromechanics building.

On behalf of the university authorities, the students were welcomed by Prof. Dariusz Mikielewicz, the Vice-Rector for Organization and Development Division. On behalf of the International Relations Office, the meeting was attended by: Monika Czerepak, Deputy Head of the International Relations Office, Maria Doerffer, University Coordinator of the Erasmus+ program, as well as Katarzyna Bauer-Mikołajczyk and Atoosa Bahrani from the Welcome Office. The meeting was also attended by a representative of the Gdańsk Tech Security Office and students from the Erasmus Student Network Gdańsk.

During the event, the newly admitted students learned what issues they should take care of at the beginning of the academic year, in which units they can arrange various matters related to studies or accommodation, and what support they can count on at the Welcome Office. The International Relations Office also invited the students to participate in the "Hey, are you OK?" project, aimed at supporting the emotional health of Gdańsk Tech students and employees.

As every year, the Welcome Meeting was once again attended by a representative of the City Police Station in Gdańsk, Rafał Wróbel, who discussed security issues.
