Upcoming Support Meeting, Dean’s Hours on Monday 12th of May 11:30-13:00

In the wake of the tragic events that shook our campus on 7 May 2025, we would like to thank you for the many expressions of solidarity and support. Returning to daily routines can feel daunting, yet familiarity often helps us process trauma. Therefore, as of Monday, 12 May, we are returning to normal teaching activities.

Upcoming Support Meeting

An open meeting for students of the Faculty of Archaeology is being organised with specialists from the University Psychological Counselling Centre (CPP). The meeting will take place on Monday, 12th May at 11:30-13:00 in room 2.10 of the Faculty of Archaeology. Although the meeting will be conducted mainly in Polish, English-speaking students are also welcome, and we will try to answer questions from this group as well.
Due to the scheduled meeting in consultation with the Dean of the Faculty of Archaeology, Prof. Bartosz Kontny, I am also announcing the Dean’s hours (hours free of didactic activities) for students of the Faculty of Archaeology at UW for the duration of the agreed meeting.

Taking Care of Ourselves

    • Mental well-being. Shock, disbelief or emotional overload are natural reactions. We encourage you to limit exposure to media coverage, especially to graphic videos circulating online, which can intensify distress.
    • Mutual respect. When discussing the attack, please refrain from blaming individuals who recorded the incident. Many witnesses filmed the scene to preserve evidence, without fully grasping the brutality unfolding before them.
    • Empathy toward staff. Lecturers and administrative employees are also deeply affected by these events. We kindly ask for understanding of their emotions and of any unusual reactions or temporary changes to class organisation.

Dean’s Days 29th-30th April

Dear Students,
After consulting with the Dean of Faculty, I have decided to declare the 29th and 30th of April as holidays from classes held at the Faculty of Archaeology UW (note! This does not apply to classes held outside the faculty, such as OGUN, lectures, and PE—here, you should follow the guidelines of other units).
I hope you will return to your studies enthusiastically after the extended May holiday.

With best regards,

Organisation of field survey courses

Dear students,

Given the approaching date of the field surveys (8-12 April), I would like to remind you that students participating in the 30-hour field survey courses will receive an excuse for their absences, including absences from language courses and PE classes (sent to the relevant units after the lecturers have entered the grades in USOS system).

For planned multiple absences, lecturers may cancel classes in the affected groups.

If students are taking excavation exercises during the surface term, I remind you that the Vice-Dean for Student Affairs will excuse a maximum of three weeks of absences related to fieldwork activities during the course semester based on an application submitted in the USOS system.
