Psychological support for UW Community

Dear Students,

first off all I hope that You are fine after this tragic situation which happened at our University yesterday. On May 7, 2025, a UW employee was brutally murdered on the main campus. We are all shocked and find it hard to believe what happened.

If you have received this information, you may also be shocked – that is understandable. The UW authorities appeal to limit following media reports, and in particular, definitely do not watch and avoid videos circulating on the internet. Some content is difficult to cope with emotionally. Above all, take care of yourself.

You can also use the UW Psychological Support Center

The UW Psychological Support Center offers psychological support to students, PhD students and university employees. Psychologists, psychotherapists and psychiatrists provide free support.

I would like also inform You that due to this tragic situation today 8th of May has been declared a Day of Mourning at the University of Warsaw. Also Juwenalia will not take place on the planned date. Despite the cancellation of Juwenalia, May 9 and 10, 2025, according to the academic calendar, remain days off from teaching classes. On these days, there will be no teaching classes at the University of Warsaw.
