Celebrating Three Decades of Innovation at UITM
The University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów (UITM) welcomed a new academic year with an impressive ceremony that marked its 30th anniversary. Held at the Centre for International Education on the Kielnarowa campus, the event was a showcase of the university’s sustained growth, commitment to quality education, and ambition to adapt to the evolving digital landscape.
Founding Vision Meets Modern Reality
When Professor Tadeusz Pomianek first envisioned the university in the mid‑1990s, Poland was transitioning to a market economy. He identified a clear need for highly skilled IT and business professionals and set out to create an institution that would blend theoretical rigor with practical relevance. Over thirty years, that vision has turned into a dynamic academic environment that produces graduates who are ready to tackle real‑world challenges in technology, health, and entrepreneurship.
