Vilnius University (VU) has ceremoniously concluded another academic year. During the traditional \u201cFinis Anni Academici\u201d celebration held at VU\u2019s St. Johns Church, supporters of the VU Foundation were honored with the title of VU Patrons in recognition of their understanding of and support for the university\u2019s mission, as well as their significant financial contributions to the Alma Mater.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The title of Vilnius University Patron was posthumously awarded to active Lithuanian public figure Mantvydas Juozapavi\u010dius (1976\u20132023)<\/strong>. His parents, Irena and Algirdas Juozapavi\u010dius, donated \u20ac1.3 million<\/a> from their late son’s estate to the Vilnius University Foundation. In his memory, a \u20ac1 million subfund<\/a> bearing M. Juozapavi\u010dius’s name was established. An additional \u20ac100,000 was allocated to the VU Life Sciences Center subfund and the subfund named after Prof. Algis Petras Piskarskas, as well as to other initiatives supporting and financing the activities of the VU Foundation. The Patron\u2019s diploma and commemorative gift were accepted by M. Juozapavi\u010dius\u2019s brother, Mykolas Juozapavi\u010dius.<\/p>\n

\u201cPhilanthropy is not just about financial support \u2013 it is a long-term commitment to Vilnius University as an institution, and to the entire community: researchers, lecturers, and students,\u201d said Mykolas Juozapavi\u010dius to those gathered. \u201cIt is a belief that VU is a foundation for nurturing thoughtful yet responsible citizens who build a free, creative, and courageous society \u2013 the cornerstone of a strong state.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The title of Vilnius University Patron was also awarded to Professor Eugenijus Arvydas Janulaitis<\/strong>, founder of the Future Biomedicine Foundation. By the professor\u2019s decision, the Foundation allocated over \u20ac1 million to the Vilnius University Foundation to support the development of a chrono-epigenomics program at the Biotechnology Institute of VU\u2019s Life Sciences Center, as well as to finance other research initiatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThirty years ago, our State was restored, but it still needs to be built and developed,\u201d said Prof. E. A. Janulaitis as he accepted the Vilnius University Patron\u2019s diploma and commemorative gift. \u201cPhilanthropy is one of those grains of sand that can inspire others to contribute to the nurturing of the State.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

During the event, distinguished members of the academic community were also honored. Awards were presented for significant scientific achievements, and symbolic Memory Diplomas were solemnly granted to members of the VU community who suffered under totalitarian regimes and were expelled from the university.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":240721,"template":"","class_list":["post-240742","naujienos","type-naujienos","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nM.
