VDU SA meeting with the rector and vice-rector of the university

Every Tuesday evening, the members of the Vytautas Magnus University Student Representation gather to share the joys, sorrows and toppled mountains of the past and coming weeks. However, this week's meeting was much more interesting and useful, because the Rector of our university, Zigmas Lydeka, and the vice-rector of studies, Kęstutis Šidlauskas, were guests at the joint meeting.

Freshly baked and old members of the representative office had a unique opportunity not only to hear smile-inducing stories from the guests' lives, but also to get useful answers to questions that have been buzzing in their heads for a long time. The rector and vice-rector informed about the students' powers to achieve quality education, shared the nearest plans and aspirations of the university. The rector himself admitted that this meeting is really important for him, because the cooperation of students is particularly significant in making decisions related to the improvement of studies.

The cheerful gathering ended with an encouraging wish to contribute to the overall development of the university's well-being.
