– The idea behind the ProLogis Best of the Best Graduate of the College of Logistics competition is to identify particularly talented and ambitious graduates and create opportunities for them to open a path to a professional career – said Marta Tęsiorowska – The fourth edition of this competition has once again proven that the attitude of WSL students and their enthusiasm for work deserve the highest distinction. We will follow Mr. Artur’s further successes and cheer him on in his continued pursuit of knowledge.
The condition for participation in the competition was primarily a minimum grade point average of 4.53 throughout the course of study. Students were evaluated not only on the basis of academic results. Foreign language proficiency, including specialized language, international exchanges, work in the student scientific movement and student government, as well as sports achievements and charitable activities were also taken into account. The competition was overseen by a Competition Committee composed of representatives of the College of Logistics, the WSL Student Government, the Institute of Logistics and Warehousing, and the ProLogis company.
The “ProLogis Best of the Best” competition has been organized for four years in cooperation with the College of Logistics in Poznań. The award is intended to provide motivation and gratification for the university’s best students. Students compete in three categories: Best Bachelor’s Thesis, Best Master’s Thesis, and Best Graduate.
We warmly congratulate Artur!
