Amidst ceremonial grandeur and with the attendance of hundreds of guests, the University of Sopron's Alexandre Lamfalussy Faculty of Economics celebrated the diploma awarding and doctoral inauguration ceremony for the autumn semester of the 2023-24 academic year on 9th February.
The diploma awarding ceremony was greeted by the Vice-Rector for Foreign Affairs and Research, Prof. Dr. Ferenc Lakatos, who referenced the timeless wisdom of József Attila, a revered Hungarian poet, stating, "In life, one doesn't need to strive for much, just for everything." He stated that graduates, with support from schools and families, possess the essential tools for success: knowledge, skills, and perseverance. He encouraged them to embrace opportunities, and face challenges. This was followed by the speech of the Dean of the Faculty of Economics, Prof. Dr. Zsuzsanna Széles, who introduced the board and the special guests.
