You are the future of Lithuania. Stay to live and contribute to Lithuania because Lithuania is your roots. Appreciate what you have now in free Lithuania, which in many places around the world is a forbidden dream - to receive education, express your opinion, work, travel, and excel professionally. Cultivate a sense of patriotism in yourself, which, I believe, your parents and your Alma Mater have instilled in you - this determines your responsibility for our past and our future." said ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Rector Prof. Dr. R.

But today, I wish you perseverance in making your future plans and perserverance in successfully achieving the set goals," said the university guest, Member of Parliament V. Mitalas.

V. Mitalas also shared a story from Taiwan and what it taught him about working without receiving anything in return for a while or facing setbacks until finally achieving the set goals. With this narrative, the guest encouraged ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ graduates to believe in their work and to determinately move forward.
