This year’s ceremony was graced by the presence of distinguished guests, including Minister of Finance of the Republic of Lithuania, Mr. Rimantas Šadžius, and Representative of the European Commission (DG ENEST) Ms. Virginija Dambrauskaite, who offered warm congratulations and inspiring words to the graduates. The university also welcomed ambassadors and representatives from diplomatic missions and institutions, affirming EHU’s strong international ties in the region.
In line with EHU tradition, the ceremony opened with the singing of “Gaudeamus Igitur”, uniting the academic community in a shared expression of pride and joy. The celebration reflected the university’s values: intellectual freedom, civic engagement, and cultural expression, embodied by each graduate walking across the stage. The conferral of degrees was led by Rector Dr. Vilius Šadauskas, who personally awarded diplomas to each graduate, celebrating their academic journey and future potential. The atmosphere of the ceremony was elevated by the creative spirit of EHU students: powerful and emotive performances by students of the Theater Art and Acting program added a festive and artistic dimension to the occasion.
