     From reports of the 2016 WSIP recipients
        Wisconsin Study in Poland Scholarship

On the first day of the program, I was very impressed and I learned a lot from the Wisława Szyborska’s secretary professor Michał Rusinek’s speech “Lost in Translation”. It was very interesting and a very good start to the program. I also got to learn and discover the Polish language at a much deeper level and came to realize that ……. Polish is truly one of the hardest languages, however in my opinion also the most beautiful. (Bartłomiej Boryczka)

I also discovered the magnificent Jagiellonian University. I learned about the history of the university and that UJ is the oldest university in Poland, the second oldest university in Central Europe and one of the oldest universities in the world. (Bartłomiej Boryczka)
