Corvinus University 2020 honours presented

This year, the traditional awards ceremony of Corvinus University took place in an unusual, online setting on 24th November, where University Gold Medals, University Commemorative Medals and Honors were awarded (virtually) by University leaders on behalf of the Senate.

 In his opening speech, Rector András Lánczi emphasized that this ceremony is one of the most important events in the life of the institution every year. This is when the university community can celebrate together the colleagues who have done the most for Corvinus in the past year. The past year has been extraordinary in many ways, not the least because of the coronavirus epidemic that is rewriting the world’s operations globally. András Lánczi said that Corvinus University of Budapest was in the very middle of a transformation process, which is why it is extremely important to recognise the dedicated work of those employees who have done a lot in the renewal process and contributed to the reputation of Corvinus with their long and successful professional careers.
President of Corvinus University Anthony Radev stressed how important it is to stop and celebrate for a moment as we approach the end of a year full of challenges like this was. He thanked the laureates for their perseverance, expertise, and dedication, which is a distinct inspiration to him because – as he put it – they are the real example of what it means to be a member of Corvinus.

In his greeting, Chancellor Ákos Domahidi quoted Aristotle: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit”

This year’s honour recipients – as he described them – serve as an example to all university citizens with their excellence, i.e. their professional knowledge, commitment, tremendous work ethic, ability to innovate and collegiality.
