WSB Merito University authorities, students and graduates
Our University is, above all, made up of people. It is their enthusiasm, energy and dedication that get things going and make everyone enjoy being here. It is so rewarding to watch students spread their wings and learn to fly: see them achieve their educational goals, and then embark on their professional careers. They feel at home. They just want to be here and wish to be part of it.
Authorities
Rector, Chancellors, and Deans. Mostly too busy, they seem to have seven hectic days per week, but when you bump into them in a hallway or passage, they keep smiling and are always willing to help. They are the ones who make sure that the University works fine at all times, wins top places in prestigious contests and rankings, and fosters excellent relationships with employers (or, for that matter, with the local business environment at large). They approve study programs and make decisions on key investments. They must be present at each important ceremony. After all, would anyone imagine celebrating inauguration or graduation without the Rector’s red robe, his broad smile, and his inevitable speech?
“WSB Merito University is principally composed of those who work and study here. Their energy and engagement make it a place where people can fully realize their needs and potentials. Whether you are a student, a teacher, or an officer, the University’s friendly and inspiring environment will help you spread your wings and learn to fly.”
Faculty
They are partners, counsels, and mentors. Some of them will be remembered for a lifetime, because they have become true life coaches, guiding students’ careers and influencing personal development paths. Helpful and outgoing, but often firm and demanding, too. They can see that it is not just about exam success rates, they realize that what really counts is the students’ understanding of what they are doing, what they are learning and how this learning can work for them in their lives and in their jobs. Far from arrogant, they keep their minds open to what their students can tell them about the latest trends and innovative solutions.
“What is it like to study at WSB Merito University? Surely enough, you will develop the requisite skills and competencies for the workplace. Instruction in most programs is multidimensional and interdisciplinary. We do not just teach you from textbooks. We use case studies and workshop techniques in the classroom, because we want you to learn by doing, so your learning is applicable and practically relevant. In many of your classes you will interact with industry experts and representatives of the local business community.”
Alumni
They are thousands of people from across Poland. Enterprising, high-flying, ambitious individuals. With diverse visions of their future lives, they have traveled their life-forming educational paths with us. It is here, at WSB Merito University, that their life goals evolved, their outlooks matured, and their professional careers were forged. Now they keep coming back to revive their memories and tell us their stories. Some of them join our faculty to share their expertise and experience with new generations of students. We are so proud of all of them!
“Finance and Accounting was my third degree program. Prior to it, I had earned degrees in History and Art History. Frankly speaking, the first choice was driven by friendship, the second by passion, and the third was made for money. It is this last degree that I see as offering me the best career prospects. WSB Merito University’s seamless scheduling and organization allowed me to easily combine work with study. More than that, I could afford to attend a number of optional training courses and workshops run by the University.”
Students
This is the largest and most diverse group. It is them that get the authorities and the faculty going. They make the campus a colorful and noisy place. Their energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and each of them embodies an interesting story and a potential to discover, each is a unique individual and someone to learn from. It is for them, or thanks to them, that the faculty keep working on new solutions to problems, inventing new approaches to instruction, writing books, and hoarding experiences to share. It is the students’ involvement, their success and failure stories, and their passions, that energize the University’s walls and contribute to the making of its amazing climate.
“What makes it so difficult to make the choice of university is the fact that the consequences are to be felt for a number of years to follow. Before I eventually picked WSB Merito University, I’d done very solid research. It was the positive comments I received from both WSB Merito students and alumni that tipped the odds in its favor. The atmosphere here is excellent and the attitudes are student-friendly. Teachers make a point of lecturing in simple and clear language, and they always highlight workplace applications of the theory being taught. Further, the University is committed to new technologies that save my time, making it possible for me to handle many student affairs from home, without the need to show up in person in this or other office. For me it matters a lot because I have a regular job.”
Administrative personnel
They are always there, working hard behind the scenes: service staff. The good guys, true heroes cast in supporting roles. You will find them nearly everywhere, whether it is the Registrar’s, the Career Services Office, the Library, the canteen, or the cloakroom. They are the busy ones in front and back offices who make sure that every small detail clicks in its place. Who see that things happen – everything that needs to happen to give you a good education and a pleasurable study experience. We owe it to their effort that the University shows up at educational fairs, our library collection has been expanding all the time, the hardware and software in the computer labs is working, and lights are on in the restrooms. And, last but not least, their quiet presence means that there is somewhere to leave your coats and stuff or have a hot meal during breaks.
