The election of the Rector is in the final stages

The Senate of the University of Pannonia unanimously supported the candidacy of Dr. János Abonyi for the post of Rector by a vote of 19:0. In the final stage of the rector election process, the Board of Trustees of the Rector will hear his application in a week's time, on 7 March, and in case of a positive decision, the President of the Republic will appoint him with effect from 1 July.

"Since I have been here in Veszprém, I have always felt the support, love and trust of my colleagues, and now - as I wrote in my application - this increases my sense of responsibility. Such a vote is a manifestation of this trust, and it is a very touching feeling. It is in this emotion that I have sent back to my colleagues that I do not wish to abuse this trust and love for a single moment. I have asked the members of the Senate and all university citizens to continue to turn to me with this trust and when they see that, God forbid, I would stray from the path that serves the interests of the university, they should let me know", Dr. János Abonyi shared his thoughts after the Senate meeting.

He added that he looks forward to Thursday when he will have to report to the Board of Trustees. He is preparing an exciting presentation on what he thinks is the ideal relationship between the Rector and the Board of Trustees, although he believes it is ideal at the moment and would like to strengthen the way it is working.
