A celebratory meeting of the academic community and employees of the Faculty of Health and Social Sciences USB in České Budějovice took place on the 30th anniversary of its foundation. It was an opportunity to meet, look back, and appreciate.
The event was held on 12 October at 2 pm in the two largest lecture halls, directly after the morning gathering of the Scientific Council of the Faculty of Social and Health Sciences of USB. In the afternoon, the Dean of the faculty, Mgr. Ivana Chloubová, Ph.D., summarized the evolution of FHSS USB in a comprehensive presentation.
The afternoon event in the Vltava/Uran building, which started and ended with a performance by a section of the FHSS USB Choir, was attended by many distinguished guests. The Rector of the University of South Bohemia, Prof. Bohumil Jiroušek, Dr., reminded them that FHSS USB was one of the founding faculties of the university and remains one of its largest. He said: "The faculty has a lot to boast about and plays a very important role, as seen during the pandemic. I wish you every success and thank you all for what you have done for this faculty."
In the hall sat academics, staff and students, as well as directors of South Bohemian hospitals, a number of institutions the FHSS USB has been cooperating with, and other guests. One of the important clinical workplaces is ARPIDA – The Centre for Rehabilitation of Persons with Disabilities in České Budějovice. The director of ARPIDA, Mgr. Ing. Marek Wohlgemuth, presented the dean with an original gift for the faculty's birthday – a wooden candlestick made in a sheltered workshop, decorated with a heart motif (the heart is a visual symbol of the Faculty of Social Sciences USB).
After the presentation by Dean Dr. Chloubová, 21 personalities who have significantly contributed to the development of our faculty received awards.
