On June 14, 2024, two significant academic events of Collegium Civitas took place at the Dom Polonii in Warsaw – the Graduation Ceremony and the 2023/2024 Academic Year Closing Ceremony.

Graduation Ceremony

Graduates of Collegium Civitas, dressed in gowns and caps, gathered to participate in one of the most important events of their academic lives.

Ms. Kateryna Hashuta, a graduate of the International Relations program at Collegium Civitas, hosted the event. She emphasized the importance of the support provided by family, lecturers, supervisors, and members of the Rector’s Team throughout the entire study period. In the official part of the ceremony, Professor Stanisław Mocek, Rector of Collegium Civitas, and Dr. Paweł Maranowski, Vice-Rector for Student Affairs, congratulated the graduates on their achievements.

The highlight of the ceremony was the presentation of congratulatory letters. Graduates who completed their studies with honors were recognized first, receiving a special letter from the Rector and the Vice-Rector. The ceremony concluded with a group photo and the traditional tossing of caps, followed by a toast with a symbolic glass of champagne.
