The 90 graduates of the Andr\u00e1s Pet\u0151 Faculty (PAK) received their diplomas at the official commencement ceremony held in the great hall of the Nagyv\u00e1rad T\u00e9r Theoretical Building, where for the first time students taking part in the faculty\u2019s off-campus training programs also received diplomas.<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>The graduates were accepted as conductors at the official ceremony, and were greeted first by rector Dr. B\u00e9la Merkely. He noted how Semmelweis University was at the forefront of the fight against the pandemic in all areas, including patient care, screening and vaccinations, while continuing education in hybrid form.<\/p>\n

\n

Our thanks go to everyone who not only practiced their profession, their medical and health sciences calling, but who also prepared our students for altruism, responsibility, and making sacrifices for each other and our fellow human beings<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u2013 said the rector. He pointed out that being from \u201cPet\u0151\u201d is a special honor not just in Hungary but all over the world, and graduates can rightly be proud of helping their patients live a fuller life as conductors. \u201cSo I ask you to remain members of the Semmelweis Community, and to find joy in your work in the future,\u201d the rector said.<\/p>\n

After short speeches by B\u00e9la Kat\u00f3, bishop of the Transylvanian Reformed Church District, and Istv\u00e1n Hajnal, president of the Hungarian National Council, the fresh graduates were greeted by Dr. Mikl\u00f3sn\u00e9 Tenk Dr. Andrea Zsebe, dean of the faculty.<\/p>\n

\n

If we treat people as if they were what they ought to be, we help them become what they are capable of becoming<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u2013 the dean said, quoting Goethe. She recalled the role the Faculty played in the fight against COVID-19 during the pandemic, while thanking the students, teachers and conductors for their work. She cited as a milestone the fact that for the first time, the Faculty launched off-campus programs in Hungarian regions outside of Hungary. \u201cWe are trying to live up to the Pet\u0151 name by providing Hungarian and English language BA and MA programs and by continuously increasing\u00a0 our international presence and expanding our research activity,\u201d said Andrea Zsebe.<\/p>\n

The request for commencement was made by conductor candidate Anna Uri. A total of 39 people received diplomas in the faculty\u2019s conductor-kindergarten specialization, as well as 8 people from the off-campus training program in Illyefalva (Ilieni, Romania). In the elementary school specialist program 43 people received diplomas, while 8 graduates from the off-campus site in Szabadka (Subotica, Serbia) received their diplomas.<\/p>\n

Anna Uri spoke representing the new graduates, noting that they were among the first not just in Hungary but in the world to complete conductor training at Semmelweis University. We helped tens of children each year, giving them love and holding their hands as they developed, she said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Representing the graduates from the program at Illyefalva, Hel\u00e9n F\u00e1bi\u00e1n held a speech, while Marianna Turk\u00e1l spoke in the name of the Szabadka graduates. The event continued with the presentation of \u201cgolden diplomas\u201d for the 25 people who graduated from the school 50 years ago, in 1970.<\/p>\n

As the close of the diploma ceremony, a film made by graduate students was shown, which included their memories and major milestones of the past four years.<\/p>\n
